LIVE: Baby Gender Reveal
March 12, 2011
For the first 9 minutes we talked about the Ultrasound appointment. To skip ahead to the GENDER REVEAL, jump to 9:50. Afterward we answered a question or 2.
Natalia: I just want to add an apology for the gum chewing. I know it is not polite, but it helps to me to not get so nauseous (at least psychologically it helps… please don’t judge me for my craziness).
EDIT: Thanks for everyone who tuned in! We had 15 viewers watch us. Press play below to watch the taped broadcast!
Mertinso Live?
March 11, 2011
Later today Natalia and I have a doctor’s appointment where we will find out the gender of Baby Mertinso. We have been debating how we wanted to make this announcement here on the blog. We consider you all part of our extended Mertinso family, so we think of you all often.
I had this crazy idea to broadcast over webcam LIVE our announcement, sometime tonight, or tomorrow morning. It’s something that I’m not sure I’ve seen ever done before. So what do you think? Would you be interested in watching us announce it LIVE? Possibly open it up to some LIVE interaction, like a Q&A.. or something.
If I get a good amount of response to this idea (IE, COMMENT BELOW), then we’ll do it!! If it goes well, then I can see us doing this much more often.

So I woke up in the middle of the night last night. I laid in bed trying to go back to sleep, and out of the blue I suddenly felt starving. I’m not sure why I felt it, I’d eaten dinner after all. But there was no denying that my stomach was hungry. So I made my way downstairs and made myself a glass of chocolate milk (I hate plain milk). I was then able to get back to bed and go back to my dream wonderland with relative ease. Which begs the question, does this happen to you? If so, what do you eat to fill your tummy but not set your body into full digestive mode?
It exists!

If you remember my post about Wendy’s DT Deluxe, here is photographic evidence of its existence. I’ve come to the conclusion that this sandwich only appears in limited locations. I’ve talked to people in California, Utah, and been to Arizona recently, and they all give me a funny look when I mention the DT Deluxe… yet, here it is:
I have been to 2 or 3 Wendy’s here in Las Vegas, and they all have it. It makes me wonder what’s going on….

This past weekend, Kristi, one of my visiting teachers, sent me a message on Facebook asking if I liked mangoes. Me? Mangoes? OF COURSE! So I was lucky enough to come home from stake conference yesterday with these beauties:
Despite the fact that it has only been 1 full day since I received these, there is sadly only 1 remaining. I’ve been eating them 2 at a time. Don’t judge me, I’m pregnant and it is good for digestion.

Bah!!! I’ve scoured the internets for a photo/commercial/writeup about the new DT Deluxe burger from Wendy’s. But I’ve found almost nothing. (Does it exist!??!)
(DT stands for “Dave Thomas”)
Anyway, I’ve been finding myself CRAVING this burger lately. They put this special sauce on it that is making my stummy rumbly (yes, stummy). Also, the buttered buns are toasted, and they use lots of yummy vegetables. I’ve been cutting back on Fast Food, so looks like I won’t be going anytime soon. :-/
THIS is the best I could find (courtesy of this blog). This gross photo does the burger NO justice. Seriously, there is no mention of it on the Wendy’s website anywhere.

I go through pretty much the same routine each morning. Turn off alarm clock, lay in bed for 10 minutes to avoid fainting from standing up too quickly, get in the shower, sit in the shower for 10 minutes thinking about the meaning of life, get dressed, drink a glass of chocolate milk (made with Nesquick… just like my mom), go to the garage, get in the car, drive to work.
Lately I’ve noticed that I always think about the same exact thing as I’m driving to work. From January 10 until last Tuesday, I would always think, “Oh yeah, I need to remember to grab my driver’s license out of my coat in the closet at home.” (It has been in my coat since I came back from our Christmas trip to Texas, but I didn’t remember I had placed it there until they asked for my ID at the doctor’s office on January 10th and it wasn’t in my wallet.) Yet the day would go by, I would get home, and I never remembered to actually do it. You’d think that at some point during my 10 minutes of pondering the meaning of life in the shower, I would think to grab my driver’s license. But noooooo. It wasn’t until I was on my way to work that my mind would suddenly flash to the fact that I didn’t have it with me.
Now that I’ve finally remembered to put my driver’s license in my purse where it belongs, my brain is on to the next thing. New CD’s. Now when I’m on my way to work, my mind remembers, “Oh yeah, I really want to burn some new CD’s because I’ve listened to these ones in my car a bazillion times.” Yet when I get home I get so busy checking my reader, looking at pictures on Facebook, and catching up on teeny bopper shows, that I completely forget to create some new play lists.
