2 years and counting!

Happy 2nd anniversary to us! Yes, we were married on St. Patty's Day. Please don't remind me. We had a great time, though. Mike took off 1/2 a day, we took my car to the shop, saw Mall Cop (not bad...but totally not PG ...too bad for all the kids in the theater with us), splurged and got some snacks at the theater (thanks to the gift card! since nachos + large drink (must've been at least 80 oz.) + small bag of sour patch kids = $15.25. WHOA. that's why we don't buy snacks at the theater), then went to Chaz restaurant on the Plaza. Not bad..but it's hard to top where we went last year. (A mansion in Dallas. fantastic atmosphere) I ate duck. Delish. Then we walked around the plaza and got some cheesecake. It was a blast!

Sort of hard to believe that will be the last 'easy' anniversary for the next 20+ years...meaning we didn't have to find a sitter to escape. But, I'm getting more and more ready for that reality. :)

who do we believe??

Well, I'm getting bigger by the minute..or so it feels. This is 28 weeks and the countdown has definitely begun. I love feeling the little guy roll around in there, but I'm more ready to meet him! I'll probably want to stick him back inside when I endure the first few weeks of sleepless nights....

We're learning more and more at our Bradley classes. During last week's class, Mike leaned over and said, "we should have a home birth." Ok, so that probably won't happen...but we're just learning a LOT about the medical system that is really messed up. Let me know if you want more details...I could go on for a while. We're not turning completely granola--we realize God can and does use medicine for a lot of good things. Unfortunately, the system in the US has been corrupted and doesn't know how to turn back; they're way too obsessed with earning the extra dollar. Sad. I'll give you a stat to think about...

The US has all of these 'great' interventions for lowering the infant mortality rate (drugs, c-sections, running lots of tests, etc.)........but...we're still one of the HIGHEST amongst all industrialized countries. Just makes ya think...
