I Feel Violated

My back has started hurting just recently. I don’t know what I did, but if I sit for too long my back starts to hurt. Good thing my wife works for a chiropractor. It’s so nice to go in and get popped for free. Anyway, I decided to go in today and get “adjusted”. I like that word better than the word she used to use. “Manipulated”!

So I stopped in to her work and one of the back poppers there (that’s what I call em) laid me down on the table. It felt so weird having “her” touching my lower back and partially my bum even with Carrie sitting there with me. She would push and pull and press and on time she even got all her weight on me and jumped. She’s a small woman. It was just so weird I guess, but it popped a few times and felt so good.

Along with the idea of being violated, Carrie went to her first Dr.’s appointment yesterday. We arrived and went into the room and waited on the Dr. to get there. She was running a little late because she was finishing up delivering a baby. As soon as she got there, we met and talked for a moment and then I left the room cause I didn’t want to see her getting “violated” by being prodded and poked and whatever else they do to women in those situations.

They asked me if I wanted to be in there when they done the ultrasound and I said yes. So I went out into the lobby and read a Sporting News magazine while I waited and finally they called me in. When I walked in they told me place was up by her head so I stood there and they told her to lay back and put her feet in the stirrups.

Wait a minute. I wanted to see the ultrasound, not see this. But that’s how they do it when your just eight weeks along. They put a condom on this probe and lubed it up and in it went. WOW!!!!! I’m thinking are you okay? Do I need to be doing something?

They turned the monitor around to us and we could see the baby. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!! She turned and showed us the arm nubs and leg nubs and said the baby looks well and good. Then she asked if we wanted to hear the heartbeat. At eight weeks? I thought. She turned the sound on and WOW! It was just going a hundred miles an hour. I’m thinking, “whoa baby. Slow down. Ain’t no need to get your heart racing like that before your born. You got it made. Just calm down and enjoy the ride in there.”

Sometimes I look at things around me and just ask, “How can there NOT be a God!” It is amazing. I’m still not sure about all this, what we’re getting into, or if I am ready. I will probably never be. But God thinks that I am. This is definitely gonna be interesting.
