Before Ellie was born I went several months riding 10 miles a day, 5 days a week. I knew from the start that my bike was too small (long story) but I thought by using a longer seat post I could make up for it. The more I rode, the more I started to get … [Read more…]
It’s so nice to hear the birds making their happy songs in the morning. The wooded area behind our house is getting greener each day and this whole season makes me happy. There are blossoms everywhere, and so many colors and sounds. Ellie is doing well too. She just turned 6 months yesterday, and she … [Read more…]
It’s amazing how time flies. Ellie is growing and learning all sorts of new things. She loves to smile, and listen to music. I help her out by playing songs on my guitar. 🙂
Cami’s doctor wanted to avoid any possible complications with higher blood pressure, so we went in early to have the baby induced. We went in Thursday night, the 22nd of September. Progress was very slow all day Friday, and on Saturday morning they finally opted to do a c-section. So, Ellie was born on September … [Read more…]
According to my calendar, the due date is two weeks away. Cami thinks Ellie won’t come for another week after that. I don’t know what to think. Cami’s blood pressure has been slightly elevated, but it doesn’t seem to be getting worse. If things continue as they are, she shouldn’t have any problems. She monitors … [Read more…]
Cami and I have a “no pet” commitment, and we specifically looked for places to rent that didn’t allow pets. But, not long after moving in, the smell of carpet shampoo faded, and the foul odor of cat urine got stronger and stronger. It was coming mainly from a downstairs closet – the likely location … [Read more…]
It’s not much longer now. In fact, we thought she might be coming a week ago when Cami’s blood pressure was up at the doctor’s office. They prescribed modified bed rest, which means Cami can walk around, but most of the time she should be resting. If her blood pressure continues to rise, the doctors … [Read more…]
A lot has happened since my last post. We crossed the country in a Budget moving van and set up camp in townhouse in Cary, NC. Nearby there is a park with a lake, which also happens to be the home of some cute little turtles.
If the flights cooperate, Cami will be here around midnight. I sure hope she can make it. Tomorrow I have the option of a day off since the rest of the office will be closed. If she misses her flight today, I will likely work, at least for part of the day. But, if she … [Read more…]
This is my fourth day of walking. My feet felt better today so I may be turning the corner on that. The heat didn’t feel as bad either. Once I get used to walking, I’ll start pushing myself to get a better workout. After seven months of doing practically nothing, it feels great to get … [Read more…]
