We had our 20 week appointment two weeks ago and everything looked wonderful. The baby is 10 inches long and 14 ounces. (I have a feeling this baby is going to be tall like daddy.) I decided to wait to post about the visit because we did not get a CD of ultrasound pictures due to a mix up at the doctors office. They told us we could come back after Thanksgiving and have a CD made, but they have been so swamped this week it does not look like we are getting in. So as soon as I have a CD of photos I will try and post a few.
I was worried at my last appointment because I had only felt the baby kick a few times and all the liturature said I should be feeling it regularly. Well that has certainly changed. The baby is rocking and rolling all the time now. It almost always starts to kick after I have eaten and it always falls asleep (or at least does not kick) during my full band rehearsals. So I am guessing if it sleeps through 80 junior high kids playing full barrel we are going to need to put in quite the sound system in the nursary.
In others news we did recently get back from a great trip to Paris and Rome. I decided not to blog about it because my friend Julie, who went with, posted the mother of all posts about the trip on her blog. So please refer to her blog for all the trip details. I am working on a photo album and I will show that off once I have finished.

I got this bit of wisdom in an e mail...
I got this bit of wisdom in an e mail. I am not sure if it is true but I will definately give it a try next time I am coughing.
During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.Some of us have used Vicks Vaporub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

This is still gross to me
So a few days ago, I was driving around in Countryside. As I wait at an unusually long light I look in my rearview mirror. To my horror an older woman was picking her nose! She did have a tissue between her actually finger at the nasal cavity, but that is still gross. I know everyone picks their nose. However when you are in a car you are surrounded by windows. Why do so many people think they are invisible when they are in their car? Anyways I was grossed out.
