A Baby Shower I Attended

Saturday was my Colorado baby shower.  Thankfully, I didn’t have any complications this time around and was able to attend!  Here are some pictures from the event.

Bed Rest is Boring

Especially when it’s compounded by the fact my computer is still not in working condition.  I did manage to acquire Windows to install but am awaiting drivers.  Once I have drivers I can rebuild. 🙂  Thankfully Noah’s computer is at least capable of getting me on facebook so I could play farkle and wordscraper.  My […]

Homeward Bound!

Thankfully my stay in the hospital remained uneventful, as far as medical emergencies go, and I was released yesterday at 5:00pm after receiving my 2nd round of steroids.  Additionally, the doctor gave me the go ahead to fly back to Colorado, but beyond that little bit of travel I am on strict bed rest, at […]

Not the Weekend we had Planned

I write this as I sit in my hospital bed at CMH and on a loner computer from my dad too.  Let first say that it’s hard to type with a doodad attached to my finger. Backtracking, Noah and I left Colorado Thursday afternoon, driving to California for the weekend.  The reason for the vacation […]

To Carb or Not to Carb

On Friday of last week I got a call back from the doctor’s office saying my glucose levels were high and that I needed to go back in for a 3-hour glucose tolerance test.  Thankfully, due to the holiday yesterday I was off work and able to spend the morning at the hospital lab to […]

27 Week Update

Yesterday I approached the HR director at my work and asked her if I had a permanent membership number with Kaiser yet.  Oh right, well apparently she got it a couple/few days ago and forgot to tell me about it.  Oy.  At least Kaiser managed to make my temporary number my permanent number so thankfully […]

Insurance Fun

I get back from Ireland, check my messages in Chicago, and no word from Kaiser on my membership number.  Remember I was told I would have it in a “couple of days” back in the middle of December.  Right.  Tuesday when I came into work I find out from HR that there were some problems […]

Slán go fóill

Why is it that vacations always seem to go by so fast, even when you’re going to be gone for nearly 2 weeks?  For whatever reason, today is our last full day in Ireland. This morning we went to church with Aaron and Katie.  Their church is a good deal smaller than our home church […]

Carrick-a-rede

Carrick-a-rede is a rope bridge that leads from the mainland in Northern Ireland to a small rock island.  Originally this bridge was used by fishermen who were too lazy to row a boat to the rock and instead built a flimsy bridge to blow around in the massive wind gusts.  Well, the bridge isn’t that […]

Clochán na bhFómharach

A new year, a new country!  Today we headed up to Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom.  So now, technically I’ve been to 2 countries outside the US, yet my passport only shows record of one (no fancy border crossing).  The drive from Dun Laoghaire took about 3 hours, was very scenic, […]
