Busy, busy, busy

The road to hell is paved with good intentions; a bit dramatic I know, but it seems that remembering to keep this updated fits that proverbial saying.

I should just put a reminder in my calendar: UPDATE BLOG
Though I'm sure only a few close friends actually read it.

So this past week, James was in a boating accident where the cooling system blew all over his face and torso. Somehow he had sense to immediately jump into the river and the 4.5 hours it took to get the boat back to dock he was soaking a sweatshirt in the Columbia River and placing on his face and body.

Thankfully, it was not as bad as it could have been, but seeing someone you love suffer with first and second degree burns makes you feel helpless as you are unable to provide them with relief.

There was also a very attentive nurse, who unlike the doctor (who fulfilled the stereotype of a good looking, arrogant, Grey's Anatomy actor), who was an angel.

In other random news, the baby is doing well and next week I meet with the OB to set the actual c-section date and than begin the twice a week stress tests.  There is also one more ultrasound scheduled to make see if the left kidney is still measuring large on the baby...at this point I can't even think about it and I'm not going to worry.  It could mean possible surgery a month after the baby is born or it may even self correct!

Today is Wednesday so after cleaning I get to pick up my other two munchkins where the next couple of days we will be camped by the swimming pool and sucking on ice.
Tomorrow school shopping begins...hooray. At least it will be a break from the 100 degree weather.

Keep hydrated and cool friends!
