This one goes up to 11
Nigel: You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty: I don’t know.
Nigel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty: Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel: [pause] These go to eleven.

A week ago we reached 10 weeks of pregnancy. Fortunately we had been filled in on where to go from there. Thank you Nigel Tufnel.
To celebrate we took a trip in to see our friendly ob/gyn, Dr. Johannson
Actually it sounds a lot like my heart the other night when my brother showed up at my door with something cupped in his hands. I leaned over to see what and he tossed a frog in my face! Turned out it was just a frog doll, but I jumped back so hard I nearly broke a door and a radiator. Who knew these vocal chords could emit falsetto screams? (Actually, that had been established quite some time back.)
So here’s how compassion works in our house: Having just been scared within an inch of my life we promptly went inside and, without ever even exchanging a word, I led him upstairs to my pregnant wife.
“Hey, you should see what Dave brought.”
“Wha– AAAAUGHH! You, you, RATS!”
Clearly there was some less-than-ideal training growing up in the Lapp household.
Here’s to hoping either good Yoder genes or better education prevail in the next generation.

Yes, sure, “growing up in the Lapp household”! Such scare-the-wits-out-of-you frog “fun” (?) reflects Lappness - fortunately balanced by Miller Longenecker gentleness.
Love that solid heartbeat sound! Mom

Yeah, that’s what I meant, of course…
