Canadian Humour
The Just For Laughs comedy festival goes on in Montreal Quebec every year and we get to watch it on the Comedy Network. This is one skit that crack up over each and every time I see it.... Especially when he talks about his Catholic girlfriend, going to Catholic Church for the first time and the priest is doing the "flicky thing" :)
Stand By Me
One of the best pieces of sound engineering.
This is a video of unprofessional street singers from around the world being recorded, over layed and mixed with one another while singing the song "Stand By Me".
It is a marvel to listen to and watch. They all deserve to be heard. Take note with each singer where they are from. For me personally "Grandpa Elliot" makes the video :)
The finished product is tremendous!

Good OB Appointment This Morning :)
I had my OB appointment this morning and all looks good. I get to go back for another ultrasound as the little bugger was so active they couldn't get a good measurement of his/her spine, so I get to see my Little One again, w00t! Otherwise everything looks good and the Doctor is happy. I do have an anterior placenta so could explain why I haven't felt anything from the baby outside of the pressure on my bladder. She put the doppler on me and we could hear all the movement this kid was doing in there, pretty active baby!!!!
All clear until next month :)
Jenn :D

The Arab Dilemma
A young Arab asks his father:
What is this weird hat that we are wearing?
It's a "chechia" because in the desert it protects our heads from the sun!
And what is this type of clothing that we are wearing?
It's a "djbellah" because in the desert it is very hot and it protects your body!
And what are these ugly shoes that we have on our feet?
These are "babouches", which keep us from burning our feet when in the desert!
Tell me, papa...
Yes, my son?
Why are we living in Toronto and still wearing all this shit?

Mindless Babble... and Baby Stuff :-)
There's going to be a new car on the horizon for JennieBird here.... I'll be glad when we're a two vehicle family again :-) Stay tuned..... 
In other news.... this is how THE KID is treating my bladder lately:
But hey it's all good, I'm lovin' it :)
I went for my 18 week ultrasound on the 18th (time flies!! I can't believe in ONE WEEK I'll be halfway through this pregnancy) and everything looks good. I was in there for about 45 minutes for them to measure everything and check the heart rate and stuff. So far a good heartbeat of 141 beats per minute.
I haven't felt any solid baby kicks yet (but I'm told it's still early yet - give it a few weeks) but I couldn't get over how active this kid is. I swear he's/she's doing pilates in there... active kicking like you would not believe on the ultrasound screen! It was a hoot to watch and I was glad to share the experience with my Mom who came with me to see her first grandchild on the ultrasound screen.
Baby weighs about a half a pound now and I have a printout of 20 ultrasound pictures from the appointment, I'll try to pick a few of the frames to scan and share. I myself was mesmerized in the whole experience and find myself still pinching myself to make sure this is so real. Rob and I are still besides ourselves with joy and Rob has had this glow about him ever since the day we found out I am pregnant. Right now I keep the ultrasound pictures from prior appointments on our fireplace mantle and even though he won't admit to it, I catch him looking at them and smiling. If he's this way with ultrasound pictures, I can hardly wait to see him with our baby in his arms. It chokes me up just thinking about it.
As for the nursery, we're not planning on doing much as the room is currently our guest room. There is panelling throughout the room that makes it hard for painting, etc, but I imagine we'll just be getting rid of the guest bed and dresser or just getting rid of the dresser and moving the bed over to make room for a crib, changing table & chest of drawers. We're not finding out what the baby's gender is so I'm planning on just keeping it gender neutral. In a few years when the budget isn't as busting at the seams as it already is (with the car and bathroom reno and the chimney repair we did a month ago and a few more items) we'll completely remodel the baby room, drywall it etc and give it some decent paint. Right now it's all crappy panelling.
My Mother in Law and likely my nieces are coming up this Saturday and go to Church on Sunday. Likely pick up my new car on Saturday.
Life is good :) I love it.

My New Mantra
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Never again will I let anyone tell me to bite my tongue. It's just not worth it.
