Ramblings

My buddy called me Friday evening, his wife's due in just a couple weeks. He wanted to make sure he wasn't the only one that sometimes just completely freaks out and thinks of all the terrible things that could happen and goes into a bit of a panic. I re-assured him that I sometimes do the same thing. It's funny he called me about it, because I was just thinking about why I think about such crappy things. I came to the conclusion that it's my sub-conscious, preparing me to deal with bad things and that it unfortunately goes a bit overboard. I shared that with him, and he thought that made some sense.

So we watched the National Geographic show, In The Womb on Friday night. It was very informative, I recommend it. Warning, I recommend watching the last 10 minutes with your eyes closed. Unless you want to see close-ups of that gal giving birth while standing up, leaning over the hospital bed. That part just re-assured the fact that I'll need to stay near the head of the bed, and might even have to keep my back to the foot of the bed. Sorry if that makes me a wimp, but that's just a little too much for me.

The Wife and I always used to take turns stealing covers from one another in the night when we had a Twin bed, and even when we had a Queen. Ever since we got a King, it really hasn't been a problem. Not that I'm aware of anyway. But with her internal thermostat off, she goes from hot to cold pretty quickly. I could've fried eggs on her stomach yesterday. Except it might be hard to get them out of her belly button. Anyway, she figured out one reason she may be getting so hot at night. She realized that when I get hot at night and get rid of the covers, they sometimes end up on her. So we've done a 180 in the covers department.

Sorry for the lack of cohesiveness of this post.
