The Flu

Within hours of our doctor appointment yesterday, Cara started to feel queasy.  This translated into a full stomach flu, which woke us up a bunch of times at night.  Cara is beginning to feel a bit better.  Liquids and a toasted bagel were being held down as of this writing.  Cara notes that Rowdy has been very concerned and has been very helpful all day, which is more than she can say about Ken who is busy blogging.  As editor though Ken can point out that he has made her some tea.

Another Doctor's Appointment

Well, today another doctor's appointment has passed by.  The baby is constantly moving down there so Cara is worried about future sleep.

For those keeping up with old wives' tales: Little Yostie's pulse is 130.  That means it's a boy!  Of course last month it was 158, a girl...  Take it with a grain of salt

Today, Cara begins her SIXTH month of pregnancy...

In other news I have only 13 full days of teaching left...

Both are scary thoughts.

Mother's Day

Well, yesterday we had Ray & Myrna over for dinner and I called my mom tonight. All seems well here. You might ask if I bothered to get Cara anything... I kind of am. She has planned a nice little spa time with her mom, and I figure that has to count for something. Also, we have made some decisions about our house. We will be chopping down the cedar that looked like hell from the living room window and replacing it with a trellis and Sweet Pea climbing flowers. Around the front of that will be a couple of hostas. Lastly we will plant some peonies out back. Now I just have to get cracking... Besides that we have some other projects planned, a new light (not fixture, rather location) for our hallway which will involve some electrical work in the attic and a new sidewalk & patio made from unistone... Thankfully Ray has done both of these things before and will help. Of course we then need to paint the baby's room and set it up, while moving some stuff downstairs. Finally in funds allow, we will buy come new stuff, like a computer from the 21st century, a couch with a pullout bed, etc...

Hope all is well for you lurkers out there!
