Damn, that's a weird feeling. I tried to lie down on my stomach and felt something that wasn't there before. I swear, this whole pregnant thing is just so bizarre when you really think about it. I mean, don't they have test tubes for this sort of thing now? This is the 21st century for god's sake!

So whatever. Looking around to see what cultural things are in Ottawa, since it is in fact the capital and all. Lots of interesting museums, so I'll probably have tons to cram into the week. I wish I knew if/when this is actually going to happen, because I'm really eager to go into full planning mode and start planning every second.

Jake will probably flip over the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the Canadian War Museum. I will probably flip over the National Gallery (!!!).

Others to visit:

*The Canada Agriculture Museum
*Canada Aviation Museum
*Canada Science and Technology Museum
*Canadian Museum of Nature
*Bytown Museum

My Ottawaian (?) lover friend really loves those first two museums. You have chosen good things.

The one cool thing about living up here is the proximity to Canada. I hope this trip pans out!
