Update: Baby
2 weeks until my due date. Doc thought the little turkey would have arrived by now. I'm 1cm, fully effaced, and ready to go, but no baby yet. Just lots of contractions and most of them painful. I can't wait to meet you baby, come on out!!
Update: Kids
Jack spent 5 hours in the ER this morning. Turns out that a blister he had on his ankle (from his sandal strap) developed into a full blown staph infection. It was white with purple, and when he woke up this morning and told me he had an owie on his foot, he followed that up by throwing up everywhere. We saw what we were dealing with, threw him in the car, and went straight to the hospital. Good thing too, because he needed IV antibiotics and IV to stop the throwing up. Poor little man took his blood work and IV like a pro, but didn't enjoy the lancing of the blister. It must have been horrible, he wouldn't even let me near it today. It seems much better already though, and he's on antibiotics for 7 days now.
It seems everyone gets to go to the hospital except me! 2 weeks ago J ended up there with chest pains and upper abdominal pains. They didn't know what caused it, but I'm guessing anxiety. He called me while I was at gymnastics with Jack, and he couldn't talk or breathe so I called an ambulance. Scary stuff! He's had a lot of stress lately.
Update: Everything else
A few days ago a guy just walked into our yard when the kids and I were back there and started grilling me about the local of my tenants. He then ordered me to get him a piece of paper so he could leave a note, and after I refused, he stomped off and was generally very menacing. He really freaked me out. Turns out he is someone who thinks that one of the tenants keyed his car. He came back and banged on the door again, but she wouldn't answer. Then last night at 1 am, 5 guys came into our yard and threw huge rocks at the window of the suite. I mean huge rocks. They actually destroyed the frame of the window. We have a contractor friend coming to look at it tomorrow and give us an assessment on the cost of repairs. There is no way in the world I am claiming it on my home insurance. Nope, sorry, she can pay for this herself.
We plan on giving them notice of eviction with cause as of tomorrow. This is ridiculous. I do not feel safe in my yard, nor can I let the kids play back there while I cook dinner, etc. anymore. Every time the gate crashes open or closed I jump and run. How fair is that? I didn't do anything to anyone. She knows how angry we are, and she's trying to be overly nice, but sorry, I can't do this anymore. If we don't ask her to leave now, she will literally never move out and we will be saddled with this situation forever. Hopefully once they leave, the problems stop.
So just waiting for baby, waiting for school to end, and looking forward to a nice summer.
