August 5th, Can't Wait!

There are two types of pregnant couples, those that like surprises and those that don't. Hubby and I fall into the "don't" category. Aka we are gonna find out the sex of the baby. I have total respect for the people that can wait until birth but gosh darn it I don't have that much will power!!! Plus, baby clothes really are super cute.

This past week though the date I was supposed to find out has changed!! It has changed to later rather than sooner. I went to see my doctor the other day and told him I had my anatomy scan on July 25th and he asked why I was going to the USC place. I replied, well after I went there for my NT scan they automatically made an appointment for the anatomy scan. I didn't know I had another choice.

Then I asked quizzically, "I have other options?" He went on to explain that they only send patients to the USC place for NT scans because that is a very precise genetic test. He went on to say, that his office can perform the anatomy scan for a lot less money than the USC folks. I was like "cheaper," okay then. But then he said he was moving the date until August 5th. He acted like it was no big deal but I wanted to take back my cheapness. He said the reason he was moving it was he felt that the scan at 18 weeks was too early so he wanted to wait until 20 weeks aka the half way mark to do the scan. I reluctantly bought into his doctor wisdom but I was still disappointed I had to wait!

So I went from going to know what the sex of my baby in two weeks to four!!! It's hard to wait because on the forums all the ladies are finding out the sex of their babies. I feel like I am the last one left. I guess you can pay to go to a 3D/4D clinic that will tell you results earlier. I suppose I can wait...meanwhile, cute onesies and the paint for the nursery await.

Bummer dude!! Now these next 4 weeks need to go by quick!!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
