Moving, Heat, Family, Computer, Illness...

I did have good intentions of putting a couple more pictures from Jeremy's birthday party but my lacking tech skills would not allow me to get the pics from my email to the blog - it seemed so simple to right click and save them elsewhere but who knows.

Next I was going to do a post about moving. I even took one picture of the chaos since I think posts are more interesting for other viewers with pictures. Let's just say my sister and her boyfriend Laurent were lifesavers in the move and in a few hours took care of all the big stuff that I couldn't help with. It was about three days of loading up rolling suitcases to move from one floor to the next. Jeremy did a ton of the work but one nice thing about moving in the same location is that putting stuff away was a bit faster.

The move occurred the weekend before we hit the insane temperatures, so while it was definitely hot and sweaty we got through it. By Tuesday afternoon in the heat I took myself and the cats to my mothers (thank goodness for AC). We stayed that afternoon and then came home - why I am not sure. The next afternoon we packed up again (saying our apartment couldn't get below 84 even at night) and stayed at my mom's for a couple days. This was great for our body temperatures and my poor elphantitis (sp??) feet but not so great for unpacking and getting everything put away before we had family from out of town arrive on Saturday night.

It was great to see Jeremy's mom and stepdad, even if it was a short one day layover for them between CA and AK. It was the first chance they had to see me pregnant. We welcomed them late Saturday evening and then were going to hang out Sunday before taking them to the airport early Monday morning when they would fly home and Jeremy would fly to a work conference for 3 days.

We had a slight change of plans Sunday morning when Jeremy woke up with a terrible flu. He had a high fever, body aches etc... and all that goes along with a flu. So we spent some time figuring out his insurance and if there was anything special I needed to do being 36+ weeks pregnant. Needless to say Jeremy did not make it on his business trip and he is still home in bed with many of the same symptoms.

It is weird to say that I seem to have gotten lucky because while I have a good cold going on (coughing, sore throat, phlegm etc) I do not have the fever or body aches. I hope we are back to health soon and that we can finish getting the babies room ready before he decides to arrive - saying that right now it is in complete disarray.

To top it off in the midst of the illness and whatnot the computer decided to get sick as well and I am trying to house-sit at a couple different places for friends/family. The computer had something happen (malworm or something that wasn't really a virus but seemed to act like one - Jeremy would know more) that we couldn't take care of but found a great IT guy through my moms work who really saved us. If you need a computer guy let me know.

Okay, enough rambling, did I mention that I have a cold so that covers me for mistakes and not making much sense :-)
