Happy birthday, shrift!

Unborn C-Section Baby Grabs Doctor’s Finger From the Womb

Wow! (Still pretty glad DH wasn't taking photos during either of my childrens' births though.)

That picture is cool.

A friend of mine had been taking pictures during CJ's birth (c-section)...but there was no film in the camera. Doh!

Coming into work has been good so far. My manager is here, so I got to touch base with him. One of the guys has a cooler of venison for me and one of my PM's sent me a box of Hawaiian Honey Coated Whole Macadamias in Premium Milk Chocolate. NOM!!!!!

And the gal who asked a few weeks back if I'd consider taking over her job has officially announced that she is retiring in June. I haven't heard a peep from anyone in the company, other than her, about the job. I really like what I'm doing now but if they make a good offer, I might consider shifting. But since she had annonced her retirement, I can only imagine the back channel gossip over who is going to replace her.

Happy birthday, shrift!

Unborn C-Section Baby Grabs Doctor’s Finger From the Womb

Sad to say, my first thought was not "Miracle of life!" but "Hey, that happened on House, too!"

You know, if you're confirming my order, and include the original correspondence, which includes no less than 5 instances of my name, as well as account number in my name alone, it might inspire a little more confidence if you don't open with the salutation "Hello Doug,"

Have to wait until I get home to check balance information.....

Ooh, thanks for the intro, Jesse!

Yup, it was 2 this morning. The SO slept under the bison skin in the living room by the fire. The dog and I slept on the other part of the sectional, which was pretty funny, but also warm.

I still was startled by all the joggers in shorts and tank tops jogging the Mall when I was in DC. Joggers at home have that whole neoprene or fleece thing going on. I dunno what, but they're all covered up.

That photo is amazing, and I'm glad I can't see any more than that. Our good friend has a story where during his wife's C-Section at the penultimate moment he got excited and jumped up, thereby seeing past the screen and got all wobbly. His wife was all, "What's wrong with my baby?" and he was all, "Nothing's wrong with your baby, it's what's wrong with you!" He said later he'd seen parts of his wife even a husband should never see.

Like the inside! Eep. I mean, the human body is great and everything, but I'm just as glad not to have seen anyone's organs, myself.

"Hey, that happened on House, too!"

That's what I first thought, too. Very cool scene.

Also, it's up to 19 here, but it feels fine out to me (in my puffy coat), because it's not too windy and it's nice and dry. I'm not saying I'm interested in going for a swim!

see that picture just freaks me out. it's yuck. I am not made for any birthing stuff. directly or tangentially.
