Why not Minot?

Can you believe something only 2.45 centimeters long can produce so much vomit?

On Friday we got to see the spine, two legs, two arm buds, and a beating heart. Also got to see the brain!

We had a great visit in Minot on Friday. I got up at 5:00 am to shop with my sister and then met Betsy at the clinic at 10:30 am to check out what was brewing in her uterus.

Something was brewing indeed! The ultrasound lady seemed like she was not in a rush so she spent a lot of time taking a look around up there.

She took quite a few photos and we got to see the heartbeat again. That was a big deal.

At one point, it looked like the baby was fist pumping as if it was going crazy at a small-town street dance. (Could this be Arsenio Hall's baby? If that is the case, I should quit typing and go visit with Betsy.)

You know, the other day I was sharing about getting the butt shot at the Fire Hall? Well, add another location to the list.

We went to "Blind Side" on Friday night with my sisters and Andy Wintermute (local Thrivent Financial for Lutherans agent - contact him for any of your life insurance or savings questions) and had to find a place to give a shot.

There are not a lot of places at a movie theater where you can take your wife's pants off. So, Betsy found a guy wearing a movie theater tuxedo and a Bluetooth earpiece and asked if we could use his office. He seemed concerned because his office had several stacks of money sitting on the desk. So he said he knew of a place. We followed him and he brought us upstairs where all the movie cameras were rolling!

It was so funny! As I gave Betsy a shot in her evening check, I looked out a tiny window and watched a scene from some-sort-of Ninja movie.

So far Betsy has had a shot in:
  • Movie theater
  • Dakota Square parking lot
  • Fire Hall
  • Dark, scary parking lot in Lakota
  • a kitchen in Velva
  • three kitchens in Bottineau
  • a side room in a clinic in Fargo where I believe we violated some sort of HEPA rule

Well, I better get going. Hope you are watching some good YouTube videos or checking your facebook when you are done with this.

You forgot to mention the kitchen of her parents's lake cabin...given by yours truly. Twice.

Are you looking at 9 months of butt-shots? If so, that list is going to get VERY interesting.

I'd like to believe that needing easy access to her bottom for shots contributes to her affection for sweatpants, but I've known her long enough to know that has nothing to do with it.

Love the blog updates and the song that plays in the background is ADORABLE!!! This journey of yours could be an epic Hallmark movie. I mean the part about Betsy coming around the corner and you holding the sign up that said, "you did it!!!" Glad some kleenex's were near by. I'm assuming by the vomit comment that Betsy is having a fair amount of morning sickness, but if that means a healthy baby, then Yippee!!!
