Drama, why does there have to be drama?

We had a bit of an issue yesterday. I don't want to make light of it, because in reality it can be a big issue with a lot of pregnancies. April noticed some spotting last night. I, of course, found out on the train when April called me.

I hate it when my wife calls me crying on the phone. I'm one of those guys who has to fix everything and I can't fix anything on the phone. This call was particularly alarming as I can't do anything to fix spotting during a pregnancy (although I'm wondering if anyone has thought about using plumbers putty...) It was amazing how quickly I found myself with a whole row to myself on the train, however. I guess saying, "how bad are you bleeding?" and "do you feel any cramping?" makes people want to find another seat. Something to file away for later, I guess.

Obviously, by my poor attempt at humor, you can tell the issue turned out to be benign. We went and had an ultra sound today and everything turned out fine, "no big deal", the Doctor told us. The cool thing is, we ended up with more pictures!



We've also changed the baby's reference from 'blob' to 'gummy bear'. I don't know about you, but I think GB definately has an Owens head.

Stealing our thunder?

So, it wasn't enough that April's sister, Tina is pregnant (although in all fairness, she was pregnant first). It turns out that April's brother, Josh and his wife are expecting (number 4) and my brother and his wife are expecting (number 1)!

It turns out that the Owens and Brown kids were all gettin' busy around the same time....sweet.
