I’ve had more than a dozen done over the past few years with two at-risk pregnancies and various other things that crop up. The ultrasound tech was a student, and it just may have been her first ultrasound on a living person because she didn’t really seem to know what she was doing. Her instructor was very involved and I endured some extra prodding and waiting as they walked through every step of the process. This somehow distracted me from the fact that this is the very same room I was in when they had to look for a heartbeat after I started  bleeding in my pregnancy with Bug.

So is my husband. And we love that technology has now enabled us to get the instant information that we crave, as opposed to all the work we had to do when we were younger - when you could spend hours in the library and still not find the information you were looking for! Don't get me wrong - I love the library. But when you want to know information fast, I would much rather look it up on my phone than wonder. And I think this serves as a great parenting tool, because when our kids want to know things like what's the tallest building in the world or how do submarines work...we can tell them!

No wonder we are such good friends. Now if you will excuse me I have to go find out what happened to her body. It will make me nuts if I don't. You are an infomaniac just like me.

Yup. And Yup. You have worked really hard to get where you are. Anyone who questions that is jealous. Plain and simple. You've cultivated relationships with brands the old fashioned way, through chutzpah and determination. I admire you and all you have accomplished. Enjoy your cherry on top and the rest of the sundae too. You deserve it. Yup. Yup. And Yup. You have worked really hard to get where you are. Anyone who questions that is jealous. Plain and simple.

You are so much more influential than you know (a few hours with you and now the kids have Xmas trees in their rooms and Kinectimals to look forward to soon.) I had a similar experience with my own dad, who ended up leaving everything in his will to his girlfriend and her daughter and not me, his only biological child. Pshaw!! Have a great time at Disney with your family and not all the encumberments of being a social mom. Hugs, baby, hugs.

Please accept my apologies if my post hit a nerve with you. I know it's not fair, and I know that it is disappointing, but please never underestimate your true worth or value, especially not in relation to this.
