...except for the probe, but no need to discuss that! :)
They had a fluffy white terry cloth robe to wear over the hospital gown! They had swank dressing rooms! Though I *did* have to go down the hall to the toilet, which in the hospital's radiology facility are in a suite with the exam room. And on one trip to the toilet, in my fluffy robe and socks, met a somewhat embarrassed husband/father type spectator person trying to beat me to the bathroom. He courteously allowed me to go first! :)
The techinican was very concerned that I not be unconfortable, essentially declared my bladder excessively full, and sent me to the ladies' to wee a little and let off some pressure right away. She was great, but the baby was VERY uncooperative, so we were probing and prodding, and I got sent to the bathroom a couple of times to see if that would shake things up, and when the technician wasn't looking I even did a couple of standing forward bends in my fluffy robe and socks. Wanted to try a couple of other things, but not really possible in socks on a tile floor. I thought side angle pose might be quite effective...
Anyway, the yard monkey looks good, though there's still bloodwork to wait for. That should get us moved along past the concern about down's syndrome. Then I'll spaz around worring about the FNP test in December, then I plan to quit worrying.
And now, off to put the Small Boy to bed.

Date: 2005-11-15 01:59 am (UTC)I've been watching Stargate reruns on the tube! OMG! Jack has a clone! A CUTE clone! Teal'c has a kid! And Mojo.
And good lord. There is no slasher or more obvious pairing than Jack/Daniel. Honestly. They really do carry on in a way.
Jack and Daniel forever
Date: 2005-11-15 02:15 am (UTC)I am planning to write a little story thing about all the iterations of SG-1. Not only do they go through the stargate constantly, being disassembled and reassembled all the time, AND travel through transporter beams. These are recreations of them, but their old bodies are destroyed in the process, so it is for philosophical discussion whether they are "the same" after every reintegration of the molecules.
Jack gets his brain downloaded in to a computer at least once. So does Sam. Jack has a clone, with his personality and memories incorporated. The entire team gets robot duplicates with copies of their personalities and memories incorporated. Um. Daniel dies and becomes without body. Twice. But is sent back in new bodies. (Heh. Nekkid.) Sam gets duplicated, though the duplicate decidedly *does not* have her personality. Their future selves send their past selves messages that change the course of our reality. Twice. Suggesting they have multiple future iterations. AND... wait for it... They travel back in time, die, are born again in a different reality, travel back in time, fix the meseed up reality, so their next time around their old selves come back!
Whee!
Yes, this will be the topic of a DanielJackson mind bend.
The amazing thing is that, despite how hideous that sounds as a summary of 8 or so seasons of the show, the scripts are uniformly excellent. MUCH better than any other TV sci fi, with the possible exception of X-Files when it was at it's best. Oh. And Husband is partial to Firefly and Farscape, but they really are raadically different, so I think of it as an apples and oranges type situation.

Date: 2005-11-15 02:45 am (UTC)Anyways. Stargate! Stargate is different, and good for different reasons. They have a lot of realism injected in there too, like the details of certain gizmos and bobs, the cloning problems of the Asgard (that's just cool - you have a supposedly advanced alien race dying off because they've been overcloned? Dude!) and humor. And great characters.
Jack's knees are already going. How many more years of hot sex does he really have left in him? :D
Dunno. He IS an evolutionary step forward y'know. *nods* Bet that includes the sex bit. Has too.
It'd be so easy to write crack!fic for this series, because almost anything is plausible. >)

Date: 2005-11-15 04:26 am (UTC)(I am somewhat appalled that professionals giving you a procedure that requires a full bladder would not also provide you with a dedicated bathroom that did not require trekking down the hall and fending off rival pee-ers.)
OK, age difference -- J and D are supposed to be either 8 or 13 years apart, depending on which of two birthdates given for Jack on the show you want to take as canon. My parents were 9 years apart, so I can live with it. The bum knees, though -- you'd think a sarcophagus run or an Asgard visit or something would have fixed those puppies up. (What's funny is that IRL, Chris Judge has bad knees from college football, even though Teal'c is all big, bad and lifting of heavy objects.)
Also, you left out the alternate universes in your list in which Jack is an uptight asshole and Dr. Sam is a bitch because they don't know the sweet, sweet love that is Doctor Daniel Jackson so it sucks to be them and the goa'uld kill them all.
I missed the fabulousness of Farscape. Firefly I caught a few episodes of. Reality squicked on people traveling through the vacuum of space using projectile weapons (no! wrong!), but loved the old Westernness of it, the distinctive speech style, and the hotness that is Nathan Fillion. Will refrain from screaming movie spoilers in your comments.

LMAO!!!
You know, you are so right about projectile weapons in space. But Firefly is famously a "space-Western." Gotta have your six shooter and your long gun...
Michael Shanks is one day older than me - 34 going on 35. Richard Dean Anderson was born in January 1950 - nearly 21 years older than MS (born December 1970) (not December 1070, as I initially typed, dang sore finger). I realize that this is not how Jack's character is presented, but by the end of the series it really shows. As RDA is Jack, as far as my brain is concerned, the age difference is HUGE. Jack could quite realistically be Daniel's father. That's why I find the it kinda sad.

Date: 2005-11-15 06:31 pm (UTC)I originally typed that as peers, but that has a different meaning. Though if you were elbowing fellow sonogram-ees out of the way, it would fit...
Hey, you're a Sagittarius too! *high five*
Yeah, they made MS's character ~5 years older and RDA's character ~5 years younger, then there's tons of wank about what a baby-face Daniel is and how the job has given Jack gray hair. Though my mom went gray in her 20s, so that doesn't necessarily mean anything... Anyhoo, I have Daniel and Jack in my head very, very separate from MS and RDA -- nothing alike at all. So for me they are only 8 years apart. Which still means Jack could suffer from age-related erectile difficulties before Daniel, but he's so hot for Daniel I'll bet Jack'll still be sporting wood for him at the drop of a zipper anyway. :-)

Date: 2005-11-16 01:05 am (UTC)hmmmm...I see that there is vast amounts of SG-1 available on DVD. Maybe over X-mas break I will get off butt and watch.
P.S. I hope you don't mind me friending you. 8)
