Another morning of contractions means too much time online...

So you may not have known this about me, but I'm practically a doctor! It's true! All I need is this trusty computer and I can diagnose any disease, syndrome, or ailment.  It's really amazing!  If you question my certification...well then you're probably an intelligent, discerning person.

Once I was concerned about my baby brother. He had some symptoms and I was worried.  So I put on my doctor's hat, logged onto my laptop and discovered that my brother clearly had a very serious disease. Peter came home and I shared my diagnosis. He took all the symptoms (just like me) and using his also vast medical experience (and our laptop) concluded that my brother was dying of anthrax poisoning!! Oh no! ;)

This brief interlude as a doctor was a good reminder that I'm not one! Thank goodness!  This morning, I sat down with far too many questions about early delivery and many hours on the computer in front of me and started Googling...after about 10 minutes I found myself starting to embark on completely ridiculous medical diagnosis. Luckily, I got a hold of myself, closed the window, and returned to something much more appropriate...BabiesRUs.com.  Close one!! 

My doctor did recommend the following basic fact websites http://www.americanpregnancy.org/, http://www.safefetus.com/, and the hospital website. I have officially decided to hang up my lab-coat for this pregnancy and instead start trying to use our new SLR camera.
