Random pictures

This is a picture of a picture of the baby from two weeks ago. I haven't taken a picture of the picture that I got yesterday but I will do that soon. Sorry if you think its weird to have this picture on here, but Karla asked for it so the people get what they want:) Anyway it is interesting too because they always give us a 3D picture instead of those impossible to figure out pictures they give you in the States. By January we should know if the baby is a boy or a girl, so if you want to take a guess you better do it soon. The doctor said that everything looks normal (another contrast from the States, if things are normal the doctor tells you things are great, maybe because they want you to feel better since you don't actually get to see the baby). Also they finally checked my blood pressure and weighed me. It is kind of random the things that are high tech and the things that are still from the stoneage. We have this card, kind of like a debit card or something, that we have to "check in" with when we get to the clinic. When they weighed me yesterday instead of writing my weight down on a form or anything, I just scanned my card and it put the info in a computer somewhere. For my blood pressure I didn't even have to scan it again, it was connected to the scale so it did it automatically. But at the end of the visit
we had to pay in cash because they couldn't take credit cards.

Rob didn't mention that at the party we danced like fools. Ok, maybe that is an exaggeration. We danced a little though and it was lots of fun. The party was pretty relaxed. There were a couple of games but they were mostly for the adults. At the end of the party the host of the party gave presents to the families with kids. I think that the present that they gave to Colette was more expensive than the present that we gave to the birthday boy. They had lots of candy and bocaditos and thankfully none of them were japanese. Rob played his sax when they blew out the candles so that was really nice. They also played the mananitas, so I thought of my mom. You would have loved it mom. It wasn't even like we were in Japan, we might as well have been in Peru. I had never realized how japanese peruvians look, or maybe it is the other way around. Another funny thing was that that little boy in the blue shirt thought that I was his English sensei, his mom said that he is young so he still can't tell white people apart. I don't think that is a condition exclusive to the young;)
We were driving around after church and took a wrong turn. It was like one of my claustrophobia nightmares, the roads kept getting narrower and narrower. It would have been really freaky if it hadn't have been so funny. There is no rhyme or reason to the layout of some of these neighborhoods and with no street addresses I don't know how any one finds anyone, especially taxis or mailmen.
