"Oh baby!" and "My bad!"

I have decided to write this post for two reasons. The first would be about my wonderful pregnant wife. She is amazing! In accordance with her pregnancy, she does not feel good alot.....I mean like all the time. Despite this, she still works hard around the house and takes good care of me. I am truly grateful for her. Now, that being said, the second reason is to tell a little story that happened last semester. I had to write a strategic analysis for a class every week and well, sometimes I would procrastinate. I know, who would have ever guessed that I would do that, but it's true. Anyways, one time I finished writing my paper right before class in the library; I printed it out and ran to class. The next week, we got back our papers and I had only one misspelled word, or thanks to spell check giving a different word when the word I tried to spell was wrong. When you're in a hurry, you don't tend to read the suggestions, you just put the first thing that comes up. Big mistake. I had a note on my paper that said see me after class. So when the class concluded, I approached my teacher and showed him the paper. He started laughing and asked if I knew what the word meant that I messed up. I didn't so he told me to look it up. The word should have been deficit. Unfortunately, the word that I put was deficate. If you don't know what that means, go look it up!

Too funny Cody! As for Danica, I forgot to tell her last time I saw her...if she is still feeling really yucky, here's one thing my doc told me I could do. Both Danane & I have done it and our kids are normal??? Right??? Anyway, before bed, take 1/2 a Unisom and a vitamin B6. It will not only help her sleep good, but also it helps TONS with the nausea. I never felt perfect, but life was much more manageable and I would do it again! Hang in there Danica...it does get better!
