Okay... So your probably wondering what the heck is that a picture of. Well the little thing on the right is a rare earth magnet. They are way more powerful than the average manget. Magnets larger than a few centimeters are strong enough to cause injuries to body parts pinched between two magnets. There have been cases where young children that have swollowed several magnets have had a fold of the digestive tract pinched between the magnets, causing injury or death. So where am I going with this? Well I'm sitting at the computer yesterday and Hannah says "Mom, one of your little round magnets just went down into my tummy". Needless to say even though she only swollowed 1 the nurse said better safe than sorry. So off to St Joe's we went. I have to say it was quite a pleasant trip. Hannah thought it was the coolest place to be. She enjoyed her x-Ray. She told me she got to see the magnet and her bones. I always wondered how other kids got a hold of mangets..... Never say never. Makes you wonder things like.... Am I a bad mom? I didn't even know she had the magnet. This is what I get for bragging about how she really has never done anything really bad. She's never colored on the walls, or smeared her poop places it shouldn't be or painted my tile with nail polish...or, well the list could go on and on. Again...... never say never.As for me... I'm feeling pretty good. Of course I am ready to get this little guy out. I have 6 weeks to go(On my clock I have 3). I have a sonogram on March 2nd. The doc doesn't want him over 7 pounds (No repeats of the last delivery). So I'm hope'n he weighs in so I can schedule a day and get back tying my own shoes. Still working on a name. I know that's bad. We've just been so busy we havn't had a chance to even think of one. So anyone who is reading this is welcome to put in their two cents with some name ideas. Hannah is excited, but still talks about getting a baby sister later on. She doesn't understand that babies don't come when I blink like with my sisters and my mom.

Can you believe some parents! :)
Just glad that nothing too serious came of it.
that's quite a story - I'm glad to hear that it turned out fine too :)
You came up with the beautiful name of Hannah so I am sure you will come up with another fantastic name! This is exciting for you guys. Good Luck!
My friend's son swallowed a magnet and they used his metal detector to track it through his system.
You are down to the final weeks. I can totally relate being too busy to think or talk about names. Keep us posted when this little guy arrives! How about the names: Ryan, William, or Trent.
