Heart Beating and Eagle Landing

Yesterday was the second visit to the Doctor. I am starting to make more observations in what takes place in the waiting area. There seem to be a lot of men with the expecting moms. Obviosly none of them are there for their annual pap smear. As I look around, I try to guess where they couple lives in the city and what sex their child is. Perhaps some of them think, "Is that South Philly Dad over there?" We heard the baby's heart beat and it was over 140. The doctor mentioned that there is an old wives tale that if the heart beat is over 140 it is a girl. We shall see....

The eagle has landed -- my father that is. Grandpa got in yesterday afternoon and we took him to his first Viantanamese restraunt last night with our friends Bill and Melissa. There were five of us, but the table we sat at was set for six. I seemed as though that sixth place should have been for my mom. At the same time, it is set for this baby arriving this spring. Thanskgiving will be spent in Philadelphia. I got my free 17 lbs turkey from Acme, hopefully it will defrost in time. Otherwise we will pay turkey bowling on Greenwich Street.

My fans are saying that I need to update this blog more often. I will mis amigos.
