Hey there Suavey!!!!!!  How are you dollface?!

 Anyway, on the mom-birth-home-natural-vs-hospital-etc... Here is a short story of my experience.  I went to the hospital after my water broke (I will save all the details for later if anyone actually cares to hear them ) and had a natural labor for 16 hours until they threatened a C-Section.  You see, I was so nervous, tense, and exhausted from medication-free contractions for 16 HOURS that my body was not allowing itself to dilate enough.  So they threatened a C-Section, which I definitely did NOT want.  I tried so hard, did lamaze, and tried everything for a natural birth.. but I ended up getting an epidural to avoid a c-section.  It was a beautiful thing.  I was afraid of a needle in my spine, but I didn't even feel that, no side effects, nothing except it only worked on my left side.  So I felt everything on my right side.  That was just enough pain killer to relax me so and I dilated very quickly from 7-10 cm in an hour.  It took 16 hours to get to 7 cm, and 1 hour to get the last 3 cm.  I'm also glad that I was in the hospital b/c my son's heartbeat was getting weak and he came out with his cord in a knot.. also, I had a bacterial infection.  So they instantly treated me with the IV and my son as well.  We are both healthy and it was a good birth experience for me.  I also got a free diaper bag and learned how to breast feed, lol.  Off topic, I breast fed my son for 1 year.

My goodness, the terrific twos are a story of its own.  All in all, my son is awesome and is my life. 

Congrats to your daughter graduating highschool! AND getting the lead in ANNIE!!  The sun'll come out... tomorrow.. bet your bottom dollar... that.. tomorrow...  you know you're singing along.. hee hee. 

USPS carrier, thats goooooood exercise.  Especially with all those hills out there!  I miss grunge.  Now I miss Seattle.  If I weren't married with a child, I would be living there for sure.  I love the history (thank you so much for the tour!) and it is such a beautiful area.  Thanks to you, Chris Mathews, I now know more about Seattle than I would if I didn't know you.  It certainly is my favorite city to visit so far.  You're lucky to have such a cool job, I hope you like it.

Time seems to go by faster and faster each year.  I'm happy to see that you are still in the acting world too.  By the way, Elephantman has the costume still.  Sorry about that! 

When I get some time (currently remodeling and the boy has an ear infection in both ears!)  I'll check out the youtube stuff.

Keep in touch!!
