“Better than I love you.”

Marty wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Marty looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order: spotless and clean. The rest of the house was, too. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table: “Honey, breakfast is on the stove. I left early to go shopping. Love you.”

Marty goes to the kitchen and sure enough, there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table eating.

Marty asks, “Son, what happened last night?”

His son says, “Well, you came home after 3 AM, drunk and delirious. You broke some furniture, puked in the hallway and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door.”

Even more confused, Marty asks, “So why is everything so clean? Why is breakfast waiting for me?”

His son replies, “Oh, that! Mom drug you to the bedroom and when she tried to take your pants off, you said, ‘Lady, leave me alone. I’m married.’”

The Sony BabyCall baby monitor system is an amazing product for the price! You can currently get it at Amazon.com for only $30.99. This is the baby monitor that we have used since Ryan was only a few months old and it’s still going strong! You can also get a version with version with two parent receivers if mom and dad are regularly in different areas of the house.

Sony’s NTM-910 900 MHz BabyCall Nursery Monitor was designed to offer the clearest connection to your baby. Features include 900 MHz Technology which extends the range of the BabyCall Monitor further than conventional (43-49MHz) monitors, 27 Channels to greatly minimize interference for even clearer communication, a Water Resistant Receiver, a Built-in Rechargeable Battery Receiver which provides savings and convenience over replaceable batteries, and Voice Activation Mode which eliminates extraneous background noise. 5 Sound-Sensor™ Activity Lights, an Out of Range Indicator, a Belt Clip, and AC/DC Operation are also featured. Tune in to your baby’s needs with the NTM-910.

Court loves the voice activation mode, which makes the receiver absolutely silent until noises are made from the bedroom. It’s nicely sensitive, too. Not so bad that a cricket outside will set it off, but it didn’t take screaming for us to be able to hear Ryan either. I love that the receivers are water resistant! Since it’s nearly impossible to hear any of these things while in the shower, I thought it was great that I could sit it inside on the shower shelf while I was bathing and then could visibly see the lights if Ryan woke up. I didn’t have to be worried if the steam or moisture would harm it in any way.

This monitor has taken me outside in the yard, and even to the house across the street without any signal breakage. I look forward to using it again through another few years once we have the new baby!

I highly recommend this excellent baby monitor by Sony, and hope that it will be able to fulfill your needs. It has stood up well to the test of time in our family!

With Ryan, I didn’t have any morning sickness at all until into the second and third trimesters, and even then it was only when I was hungry. Man, the past few days have been terrible this time! If I’m not puking, my stomach is churning and making me wish that I was puking. I have been so tired, but unable to sleep. My legs and arms have been restless and tingly. I’m already getting round ligament pain when I stand up/switch positions. And the girls HURT bad! Either I just don’t remember things being this annoying during my first weeks with Peanut or this pregnancy is already starting off completely different.

My best friend, Christina, says that I’m having a girl this time. I cautiously have my fingers crossed, but I’m not getting my hopes up. I’d like to have a girl, since this is probably my last chance for a daughter. Court is concerned about going through the teenage years with one (lol) but I’m sure he’ll be happy either way.

The interesting part about all of this is that my due date happens to fall right smack in the middle of my fall exam week, LOL. So let’s hope s/he’ll be at least a few days late! I’d like to get through my exams without worrying about contractions and labor!
