Modesty

You know in today's world you look around and modesty seems to be a thing of the past. During the summer you'll see scantily clad women and girls running around for everybody to see. It doesn't seem like too long ago where modesty of dress was something that parents encouraged and tried hard to teach their kids. Nowadays you'll have parents dressing their elementary aged kids in clothes that some college studies would even feel uncomfortable in...
Well this is one value that we won't have to teach our child. He/She is very modest. In fact, our child is so modest that during the ultra sound he/she kept it's legs pinned together, and made sure that it was properly covered by the umbilical cord so that we couldn't see a thing. Great, the one time when you want them to be proud to bear it all...our child held fast to it's virtues and refused to budge. The doctor tried everything he could to get the baby to spread it's legs for just a minute...but no dice. It just kept itself covered the best that it could.
So while baby's dad thinks that baby and Heavenly Father worked this out just because it would be funny to watch baby's mom have her patience tried, mom is going to remind the child of this when it's older and doesn't think it's that funny.
At least baby is super healthy and everything else is looking exactly the way it should.

I might go back monday and try it again.

Oh Rach I'm sorry! That is really disappointing! I'm so glad that your baby is healthy though! Hey, thanks for thinking of Bri for a job with Chris, but unfortunately he has class every morning, and afternoon!
