1. Sad news of George Carlin’s death. He was a funny man.

2. I watch Babies: Special Delivery on Discovery Health at 5am. I was addicted to this show when I was pregnant. This morning’s episode was at Inova Fairfax Hospital, which is where I was cared for and had Jesse.

From the high-risk maternity ward at Inova Fairfax Hospital Women’s Center in Virginia, five women wish to deliver successfully but must face placenta previa, an emergency c-section, low amniotic fluid, advanced maternal age, and gestational diabetes.

The perinatologists in the episode were the ones who took care of me - they are top notch and I’m so glad they were featured on this show.

3. Product Endorsement: I bought a Praise Baby DVD for Jesse a couple of weeks ago. The one I got is My Father’s World. Anyway, they are a rip off of the Baby Einstein DVDs, but with praise and worship music instead of classical music. I love it and so does Jesse - what I love is that the music is well done, sung by good singers (Christine Dente is one of the vocalists) and with kids. You have the option of listening to the full vocals, just the kids vocals or just instrumentals. So far we’ve only played the full vocals - maybe when Jesse starts singing I’ll let him listen to the just kids vocals so that he can sing along with his peers. I plan to buy others as well as a couple of the CDs for the car. And I think I’ll start including one with baby gifts.

4. The cold is much better. My sinuses are still clogged enough that I can’t smell anything and there’s still the hacking cough. But I’m not as miserable or worn out.

And now I’m going to start working because I’ll be taking a break to make a BJs run for the marinade ingredients that I need for the big pork tenderloin cook-off this weekend.
