Elliott is busy at work. He is getting ready to start on a new project that will mean he will be leaving us for a couple days. While, I'm glad to see new work coming in the door, I really don't enjoy his time out of the office. Thankfully, he isn't gone much and we have the capability of going to Grandma & Grandpa's house when he is. Although, that will end next August when Lauren is in school 5 days a week! Elliott is also getting ready to make me some drawer dividers!! What a great guy. I can't wait. I guess, that might fall under what's new with me . . .
As for me, I've taken on a very PART-TIME job. A friend of mine works for the arts & humanity department at the city. They have posters and hand-outs that need to be delivered to the area business at different times during the year. I've taken on the job of delivering them. The kids get to go with me and we have a good time doing it.
Lauren is enjoying preschool. She is signed up to participate in their summer enrichment program. She'll go for 3 weeks in June & 3 weeks in July on Tues, Wed, Thurs mornings. I think it will be good to keep us in the routine. She's been in gymnastics for a few months now and was recently invited to join the pre-competitive team. While she does enjoy gymnastics very much, I think we'll pass on this opportunity for now.
Andrew is goin 90 miles an hour all day long. He is working on getting a few new teeth and that has been rough. He recently slept through the night for the first time in 4 weeks and boy, was that a joyous occasion! His language is growing by leaps and bounds. It is always fun to hear new phrases come out of his mouth.
That's the quick version of what's new with us!!
Here is what our weekend consisted of! Lauren has had a little cold for a couple of days but when she got up on Saturday morning things were much worse. She was having some difficulty breathing and was just feeling plain crummy. So, it was off to the doctor for us. Thankfully, they are open on Saturday mornings! The nurse took one look at her and put her on an oxygen monitor. That showed her levels at 90%. Not good, anything in the 80's would have sent us directly to the hospital. When the doctor came in she gave her a breathing treatment and sent us for chest x-rays to rule out pneumonia. If her levels were not better by the time we were done with the x-ray then she would be admitted to the hospital. . . just what I wanted to here. Oh, did I forget to mention that she was throwing up intermittently as well. Yep, fun times. We were just coming out of the bathroom when the radiologist came for us so I told him he better hurry! The x-ray was pretty easy and then we rushed back to the doctor's office. When we got back, Lauren's level has improved a little bit so we got to come home with our very own breathing machine. She has been having treatments every 4 hours since . . . yes, we do have to wake her in the night . . . and is improving.
