Ok... I've been wanting to update for a few days now but things have been really hopping lately.
Refridg -
We got the evap fan motor. I installed it but the fan still did not start up. I found that Sears parts center had a thermostat in stock. Hubby picked one up, installed it, and the 12 year old refridge LIVES again!!!!! AND we got to save probably a good $100 by doing the work ourselves.
Dad -
Dad got home from the hospital Monday evening. He is on oxygen day and night (yay). He's still on antibiotics. My mom has to give him his heprin shots (for the blood clots in his lungs). The shot goes into his tummy which is a little creepy for my mom... she's getting her nursing 101 degree I guess. He sounds great on the phone. I'm not sure when they will be starting the chemo. I think they may be waiting for the lungs to clear the clots before they impose more stress on his body.
Van -
It has been towed to the repair shop and we will get some word of it's demise / repair in the morning. We are getting assistance in the repair costs - Yay!
Truck -
Hubby has been working on all the problems that are preventing it from being registered. He did stop off and get it temporarly registered. He has 2 weeks to get things fixed and passed before the temp registration expires. At least now we can drive it around to get the parts we need and not have to look over our shoulders worrying about getting pulled over.
$$$ -
Still haven't received anything... BUT... Hubby is heading over to his biggest client in the morning - with the aid of the guy he works for there - to bug the "big wigs" for payment of some sort. We shall see. Hubby's services are greatly needed right now but he refuses to work further for this company until he receives some sort of show of good intent (ie $$$ for past work completed). Keeping fingers crossed for that to work out. I do understand that you can't get blood from a rock. I know they're very strapped for cash but they seem to be able to make payroll for their employees... just not their contract labor guys.
Baby -
We made an emergency run to L&D (labor and delivery) this morning. I was woken up from a dead sleep (3:30am) by a barrage of owie contractions. They wouldn't let up and pain was starting to come from my lower back during them. After I got hooked up we could see they were coming every 3 - 5 minutes. After being there for 4 hours they lightened up on their own. They ran a few tests. The important one came back inconclusive so I will have that one run again on Friday at my regular midwife appt. Today I am 27 weeks 4 days along. I DO NOT want to see this little one until MUCH later - May at the earliest. My contractions will not stop until this peanut is born. I just get nervous when trying to figure out if they are just "regular" contractions or ones I need to be worried about.

So there you have all the updates. I have very few comments left here but I have heard of several people stopping by to read these. I want to say HI to everyone and thank you for being concerned about how my life is progressing.

I hope the hail storm has abated somewhat, or at least is back to just rain. Whew. It wears me out just to read all that you're going through right now.
And you can always "impose" on Annette and me. It's never an imposition.
