Really?

So ... after major (unexpected) car repairs, and a week of not being able to sleep ... I find out I need a root canal. Really? I mean, is it April Fool's? So I have a new philosophy. Root canal - it can't be worse than labor. Surgery - it can't be worse than labor. (And labor, has a very important, very worth-it end result!!) And ladies have been making it through labor for thousands of years. Therefore, nothing is all that bad after all, right? So ... on to the dentist we go!

At the first dentist appointment, Beaner kept kicking me and I told the hygeneist (because I jumped a few times). She said, "I wonder why he's kicking so much?" I said, "Maybe because he can tell I'm nervous." She said, "Why are you nervous?" I was thinking ... are you kidding? I'm sitting in a dentist chair and you have a metal hook in my mouth! Surely you're used to people being nervous! Ha! She was really nice though.

In more fun news, we got to have a 3-D sonogram today which was VERY cool! The pictures are great - although they don't scan too well, but maybe they'll at least give an idea of what we got to see. I tried to do some labels so that hopefully the pictures will make sense.

The cutest picture we got was one of him folding his hand under his chin and looking deep in thought! Just like this ...

(The Rodin "Thinker" statue.)

But I can't get it to scan! The nurse called him "Rodin" after that (said "RoDAN" I think - my art expert Mom will know!). Very much like his daddy - deep in thought already! Unless he's taking after his mom, and is thinking, "I wonder when I'll finally be able to eat some cheese enchiladas. And should I go to Panchos, or On the Border? Hmmmm ..."

We had lots of fun with the pictures. We are very blessed.
