My husband in his infinite amount of wisdom encouraged me to take photos with the new camera  in RAW format, and me, well, let's just say I blindly went with his suggestion and ended up with issues when I went to download the photos onto my computer. So, alas, no photos tonight...please direct your "gratitude" to my sweet husband.

Let me pause for a moment and say that my poor husband is getting the brunt of my pregnant moodiness these days. It seems he can't do anything right, and he comes with up some seriously dumb questions meant only to annoy me. Personally, I think it is all manipulation on his part...he wants to see how fast he can push my buttons, so then he can retire to his office to play Counterstrike...umm, I mean, "work."

For your reading pleasure here is a little ditty from yesterday. I sent Miguel numero uno with Miguel numero dos, after I fed, diapered and dressed the little man, to Whole Foods. He simply needed to get one package of stemmed, dried Calimyrna figs, 11 ounces of Montrachet goat cheese and a package of walnuts for a Fig and Walnut Tapenade I was making for our dinner group that evening. Well, what does my sweet genius come home with? Goat cheese, a package of walnuts, two kinds of hummus, pita bread, chopped fresh fruit, two pints of Ben and Jerry's ice cream (because he thought that would make me happy...awww), and APRICOTS. Apricots? Hello, the name of the recipe is FIG and Walnut Tapenade. It seems the produce lady at Whole Foods convinced my husband that the apricots were pretty much the same thing as the figs, and they only have the figs in the fall. Nice, but whatever. As my head began to rotate on my shoulders and steam pour from my ears, nose and mouth, my darling husband stammered, but I took the baby with me, and I was even gone an hour, and I brought home ice cream...mint chocolate chip, even, and in a last ditch effort to calm me....I love you, and I put gas in the Escalade. Got to love that man and the way his brain operates.

Tonight in an effort to redeem himself, Miguel decided to play Dr Wood again and attempt to locate Baby Wood v2.0 via doppler. He has tried a few times over the past two weeks, but we could only get a few beats here and there. Well, tonight Baby Wood v2.0 decided to get his Daddy out of trouble and as soon as Dr Wood placed the doppler on my tummy the greatest sound ever came through...our baby's heartbeat loud and strong and fast at 169bpm. With that, my dear husband will live to enjoy another day of pure wedded bliss with his ever loving pregnant wife.
