a post for the sake of posting...

The thing I hate about blogging is that I so often feel like I really OUGHT to post something, and that I should, somehow, be able to post something interesting since I am, after all, taking up space on the infinite world wide web, and that I bothered to even start a blog AND even more, bothered to get people to read it. Not that there's any real obligation, or that I have anything important to say that would dramatically effect anyone's life...I just have some ridiculous, unfounded sense of duty to this thing, I guess. Anyway, 5 weeks left:-) Had a visit with the midwife on Tuesday...she seemed to think that the baby was "too small" (*rolling eyes*) , and wanted to do an ultrasound to make sure the baby was growing OK. Had an ultrasound on Thursday--generally speaking, I'm anti-ultrasounds...but darn it all if they aren't amazing. My mom came with me and we got to see the baby sucking his (or her) thumb, and I came home with the coolest picture of my baby's profile:-) Oh, and big surprise--everything is fine. The baby's small (also, big suprise...since it's a BABY). I guess somebody's got to be in the 30th percentile...or it wouldn't exist. Aside from that, my dad enexpectedly lost his job last week. Being out of work is stressful...and moreso when you have 7 children. Pray for him, if you think of it.
