TMI

Some time in our early twenties, Jerry and I found out about how we came to be. Both stories involved a night of light imbibing with the padres, just enough to discuss such topics without total discomfort and indigestion. I remember sitting in the back seat of the car, after a night out with the Biags and learning about how Jon came into being with Jerry soon following. To preserve Jon's dignity, let's just say that he really, really wanted to be here and leave it at that. Josh and I learned about the lengths my mother went to insure that he was a boy...she emphatically says that she wanted one of each...but I can't hide the suspicion that the thought of two of Sarahs was too much to bear...smart woman ; ) Her plot involved some household products and techniques that sound like they came right out of a medieval cookbook (but I guess it was the 70's)...and hey, Josh is proof. Ella you were very deliberate. A trip to the Yucatan peninsula and Jerry and I returned with memories of Chitzen Itza, a mini sombrero ornament and you.
Now as you may recall from earlier postings, this little one, the one that currently holds residence in my belly, has a story much like Tito Jon. One could assume that suffering from the plague, a heinous work schedule, business trips and a home closing is darn-sure birth control. In fact, according to latest research, more than 99.9% effective in preventing pregnancy. Really...I just saw this on a commercial...more effective than the pill they say ; ) But thankfully, just somehow, your story began. I laugh that you were conceived during some crazy dream that I had involving a make-out session with the rich and famous-for-being-famous, Brody Jenner. I swear Jerry, this was the one and only time...I promise. You can't blame my subconscious, can you? It may not be the most romantic entree into being, but you are here, and we are so very, very excited.
Today is our mid-pregnancy ultrasound and we can't wait to get another peak at you. In fact, it's before sunrise and your father and I are both downstairs ready to get the day started.
And hey, I think I've got a new idea to pitch to television network TLC. Why not add "Conception Confessions" to their already baby-rich line-up? I can see it just preceding "The Baby Story" and "Bringing Home Baby".
