Discovery Health Channel and me

Is it crazy that I have become obsessed with watching people giving birth on TV? Fat people, thin people, diabetic people, Models (not people) I am just fascinated. Like watching monster truck battles. Frankly, it looks just gross. Yeah, yeah, it's natural, it's beautiful, you get an adorable little creature at the end of it and sometimes you get jewelry.
My beef is not with the ACT of giving birth, it's the fact that all of these people allow CAMERAS to FILM them and their naughty bits and their bad hair and their chipped toe polish and their po' hubbies with the long hair , and they look so, so, so.... Undignified! So ungainly. So trashy. So unabashedly America in the 21st century.

Had a OB appt today with the esteemed Dr. Woody. (yes... I know) T and I listened to the baby's heartbeat, which is always ADORABLE! T was my champ and asked about my backaches and my various needs. My babydaddy has been fantastic. He's attentive without being smothery, he's funny when I need it, sweet when I need it and very protective. It makes me adore him so much it takes my breath away! (or else the baby is sitting on my lungs... dunno) I'm not supposed to blog about him, it makes him cranky. He's a very private fellow, but I think he deserves serious props for really stepping up to the plate. I am a very lucky girl. I have a great man, a great family, and a sunny outlook. (today) I hope it is always thus

I was completely obsessed with the Birthing Story. And you are right, I don't know why folk let cameras all up their stuff.
Say, what's your favorite color? For babies i mean. You don't seem like the pastel type to me, but I'd like to be sure. What do you think of green?

I love green! My fave so far has been a grey hoodie one piece that my mom gave me. It says "Rockstar"... daddy does not approve!

so, like bright/acidic/spring/sage/apple/kelly/forest/emerald? I'm thinking babyblankie for to keep warm in the chilly Laguna nights.
(As opposed to oppressive Valley afternoons)
Love "Rock Star" its as good as "Chicks Dig Me" or "Got Milk?"! A baby needs a sense of fun!

AWWWW! I would love anything you choose. Dare I dream that it may be one of your creations? I would be v. proud indeed to have one of them.

Of course, it will be by me! I just have to find appropriate yarnage yardage :)
So, I owe you an apology from 6+ yrs ago. I have always hated when people take food off my plate. I distinctly remember telling you- whilst preggie- "I want that tamale." and taking it off your plate without any compunction. I think you may now understand, but still. I'm sorry!
