In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

As you say - WOW!
But that is illustrative of what I am saying, his potential fatherhood, and the childs potential life, GREATLY outweighed the miniscule inconvenience to her for 36 weeks.
Of course you are correct .
I love hearing that, say it again....
We hold these truths to be self evident..All men Are created Equal....(he knows the whole para...)
and again....
and once more for good measure....
Of course you are correct
Hubby was unable to go with me for my first sonogram, but they provided me with a picture - which solicited some of the funniest comments I have ever heard from him and everyone else who saw it.
Thank goodness our daughter is actually pretty, because without a doubt "alien" is the only word that can be used to describe her from that first picture.
He was with me for the second one and had tears running down his face watching the baby bouncing around as the tech was taking measurements.
Fortunately, she didn't bounce around enough for the measurements to not be taken, based on that info we were able to make the decision to forgo having any amnio done.
But she bounced around enough that no one was able to determine the sex at the time - cause we did not want to know. When I saw my OB the next week she considered us heros for not wanting to know - she said that we were her favorite kind of parents!!!
Gee Honey, there's our Choice...
...Charles or Jacqueline........
well that wasn't me! we drove to Philadelphia to see my best friend, who's an ob/gyn, and her hub, who is a radiologist, a month before xsteen was born, just to make absolutely sure. she felt around and he scanned me and so we knew.
They dont really say that( i am sure you have guessed, but this is my disclaimer), that is my interjection...the commercial runs during McLaughlin on sunday AM.
We were talking last night and he admitted having a problem navigating around FR. so I was showing him different things.
He asked how could he find WFTD and I discovered you can't do a search for it in the News Section - so I showed him about General interst
anyway - i gave him the heads up about the self search and told him I would flag him to threads or posts I thought he would be interested in, that's why his name showed in the TO!!!
