Like Phil says 'the tree is leaking and the wind is howling'

Tuesday, May 31, 2005

Just came back from a big meeting with our prenatal doctor, and I didn't realize how badly we felt before about a few things until leaving his office today feeling so much better.We have this little old chinese doctor, smaller even than my towering 5'6", and he is the nicest guy. We chose him because we heard that he is the biggest prick to all of the hospital staff, in ensuring that his patients get the best care.

Who wouldn't want a guy like that on their side?

He went over a few of the scarier items that we had brought with us after attending the Niagara Health System's pre-natal classes. The classes themselves did little more than scare the shit out of us and make us feel that we were being condescended to. Ever see that Simpson's episode where Marge and Homer are forced to attend parenting classes? There's a bit where the teacher says
"I can't stress this enough people, put your garbage, in the garbage can."
The classes were like that when they weren't trying to scare everyone out of getting an epididural (which can now be explained by the unavailability of epidurals at 2 of the 3 three hospitals in the region).

So this great doctor basically tells us to ignore everything stupid that we heard at these classes, and listen to someone who's delivered 10,000 babies. Him.

So bottom line is Superwife is happy, I'm happy, and it sounds like babybrown is as happy as he or she can be at this point.

Now, to my tree.

I have this magnificent old tree growing out of my front lawn. Its very old, very large, and twice a year, it is a big pain in the ass when the roots clog my sewer drain. But I digress.

This tree has been shedding these seeds for like three weeks, with no sign of slowing down in sight.

I imagine that its probably going to be fine, but its just funny how my lawn looks like it's blanketed in green snow all the time.

Is there such a thing as a tree doctor? Because I think we're in need of a lawncall.
