This was bizarre!!!

So I had a hard time sleeping last night and I was up at 4 watching t.v., flipping channels. The Discovery Channel was showing the Birth Day show. I think I see my doctor who delivered Anna, so I stop and watch for a bit. It is in Seattle, it is my doctor, but what's bizarre is it is Burke Burkhardt's wife giving birth. There's Ann taking pictures and we even got to share a phone call to Br. Burkhardt. This was a boy my sister used to babysit, a boy we watched grow up in the ward, pass the sacrament, go on a mission. Haven't seen him in years and then I see his wife give birth???? Bizarre!!!! (and to be honest, not really how I would have liked to have seen his wife for the first time)

That is so crazy! I've not yet had the experience of seeing someone I know on TV. Kim, I loved catching up on your blog- sounds like your trip was great (I LOVE "The Chuck" & I too would always think Barf-A-Rama which us why I long ago nick-named it). I'm so envious of your kids- they're growing up faster than mine & you're already done with diapers and potty training forever! Glad you're back...

Wow! I'm glad to hear Burke went on a mission...didn't know that part. But, last year, I was watching one of those "birth shows" on TLC or Disc Health and saw Burke's dad- Dr. Burkehardt delivering someone's baby. I had to do a total double-take and was fixated on the show. It was crazy to see someone you know on T.V. like that! So, since his dad was on one of those shows before, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised that Burke would be, too...although I personally wouldn't want my mother in law there taking pictures, let alone, the ENTIRE WORLD seeing me deliver a baby--it's just not a pretty sight. Wow, though. I would have loved to see it!

That is crazy! And I must agree, not the kind of way you'd like to meet someone the first time. I haven't seen the Burkhardts in years. I think Anne & Mark were in Florida for a while and then Montana, but who knows where now.

One day when I as down at BYU a kid stopped me and asked if I knew who he was. I had no clue. It was Garrett Hyde. Remember the Hyde family? I hadn't seen him since babysitting him. Craziness!

i saw that show a couple of years ago, it was very strange, so was the fact that burke burkhart lived on burke st. in burke virginia on his mission, no joke, i remember seeing an address on one of nicks old letters from him.

NO WAY! I can't believe it was them! That is weird, I always wondered what happened to those guys. Well, I guess it is good to hear they are doing well, in a round about sort of way!

Silly me, I just realized I had mistaken Bro. Burkehardt with Dr. Blackham...I'm sure you all realized that already since Bro. Burkehard isn't a doc...it's been way too long for me to remember everyone's names. But still all a crazy thing to see them on T.V.
Oh, but Liz's comment made me laugh...way too many "Burke's" to be a coincidence, if you ask me.

Liz has a good story about Dr. Blackham when she was pregnant with Stephan.

Dr. Blackham delivered Maggie when Jodi went into labor and had to go in before scheduled.

I wonder why women are willing to be videoed for t.v. while giving birth.
