The Heimlich Maneuver

I have to post this before I forget.

      My wife is 18 weeks pregnant.  She is a very slender woman but this is her third child so her boobs are extra extra large this time around.  Sitting at the dinner table, I was stuck at work of course, my 11 year old started to choke on her pot roast.  My wife told her "Don't you choke on that food, Daddys not here, and hes the only one that knows the heimlich maneuver."  My daughter got the food down finally and wanted my wife to explain how you would perform the heimlich maneuver so she did, and along with explaining preceded to show an example.  Now keep in mind my wife has NO medical training.  She interlocked her hands and placed them on her chest and started to press in and said "this is what you do".  My daughter said " so you place your hands between your boobs?"  My wife said "well actually, you place them a little below your ribs in the middle" and my daughter then replied "so you would place them between Your boobs."  I hope that reads right but basically my 11 year old told my wife her boobs are hanging past her ribs.    

First Post

 With two daughters in the house, one on the way, a wife that works for DHR, my life in open heart surgery, and just the every day insanity that is the Williams family, there has to be someone out there that might be able to relate or at least get an occasional laugh.  I just want to be able to share some of the moments that make it all worth it. Check back often for pregnancy updates as well as random stories from our life.  Hopefully it will be at least a little entertaining.
