Poll is closed, results are in!

Results being both unofficial and official. I went for my sonogram yesterday, which was very exciting!

So the unofficial results are as predicted by readers: 25% voted a boy; 25% voted twins and 50% voted a girl.

Officially, I will tell you this first off I am NOT having TWINS! Big phew! Although, that would've been fun. Twins don't run in either of our families so I didn't think along those lines much - well, maybe a little. :)

Now, boy or girl? Well, a whole lotta you thought girl (including me) not just here on my blog but at work, in my family, etc. Anytime someone I knew said "boy" I thought really? You sure? Well, the 25% of you who said boy and the rare person I spoke with who said boy are...

Right.

I'm having a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so happy and excited and certainly looking forward to his debut next spring. What will he look like? What will we name him? Anyway, now call me biased but I believe he has the most perfect profile ever. Take my word for it k? ;)

I'm not ready to share his pics at this point, at least publicly, but can I just tell you how amazing ultrasounds are? All the detail they can capture from so many angles and just to see him moving around inside was so amazing and beautiful. His hands, his feet, his heart, everything - it put me on cloud 9 all day. Still am.

We are so happy to be the proud parents of a baby boy. No doubt he'll be much loved. Maybe just for fun I'll have to dress him as a girl just once....ha ha! Just kidding!

Oh my goodness you guys!!! It's so exciting! And although I initially voted twins (bc I too thought - how fun!), when your 12/2 post mentioned you'd be finding out soon, boy was the first thing that popped into my head.

Yay! I'm going to be an uncle! Oh wait....

I've ALREADY started crocheting, if you can believe it. Tee hee...

That little boy is going to be so loved by his auntie Lori.

OK, next decision (besides the name) what will the nursery theme be?

Congratulations!!!

So, maybe it's true what I was saying about you being so beautiful--that it's a boy, since the girl's not taking all your beauty away! ;-)

I'm super happy for you, Heidi!!

Lots of love to you,

Wendi

Aren't those ultra sounds so wonderful? I saw my grandson in 3-d. They got a full-on front face shot and I printed it. When he was born, he matched perfectly, down to his beautiful lips. I was so amazed! Of course in color and outside the womb, he was even more beautiful, but even in those b/w shots he was so amazingly beautiful.
Congrats! I have 3 grandsons and 9 granddaughters, 3 boys and 3 girls. I cannot decide which I like the best. Both have their fun sides! Congratulations, sweet Heidi and Sam.
much love

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow
