We had kind of a hard day today.

We started with a Dr. appointment. The baby is not head down – as we found out in our ultrasond on Wednesday. (and knew about before) At the ultrasond she was butt down, head & feet up. Today at the Dr. she was side to side again. So she scheduled a c-section for Sept. 29th at 7:30 a.m. , which can be cancelled if she flips. (which I’m praying for) She said if I’m not too dialated we might be able to postpone it up to another week if we really want – so we’ll see. If we do it on the 29th I will still be in the hospital on Dane’s Birthday which would be kind of sad. That would make Dane’s and baby’s b-day two days apart. I guess only time will tell, but I really am not looking forward to the prospect of a c-section.

So after a short cry about the c-section I was recovering and Dane was playing with Tinker Toys right next to me when he pulled two pieces apart and one piece went straight into his eye. He of course screamed and would not open his eye. Matt wasn’t home and I was trying to decide if I should take him to the eye doctor or the hospital. I called the eye doctor and they said I could bring him there, so that was good. It was a different Dr. than normal, and he was excellent! He has a scratch on his cornea, so he has both drops and ointment that we rotate every 2 hours (and he hates) but he said it should heal by the end of the weekend. We go back Monday to get it checked. So he is pretty miserable but is going to be okay.

We were supposed to spend the afternoon baking cookies for school, but instead of baking Dane and I visited the bakery while his prescriptions were being filled to fulfill that committment. Then we stopped by the Dairy Queen drive through because daddy did finally make it to the eye dr. and told Dane mommy would take him to ice-cream afterwards if he was good. Matt was getting his oil changed when the event happened – he said once he told them his wife needed him it was the fastest oil change he has ever gotten! LOL

The good news is that my cold sores are healing, and not causing me quite as much pain. Unfortunately, Matt’s poison ivy rash is still driving him crazy.

Tomorrow is football – it has been raining all day, and it’s supposed to rain again tomorrow so I’m sure it will be a muddy mess. We are getting the rain from hurricane Ike and supposedly can expect 2-5″ by Sunday. We had that 3 1/2″ last week so the ground is already pretty wet, so they say to expect some flooding. I’m sure that’s not what the farmers want to hear.

Matt is working on Cub Scout stuff with the boys. Ryan is without his Nintendo DS this week (starting today) as he had a couple papers below the 83% – C cut off this week. We’ll see if that motivates him at all.

I need to go tuck the boys into bed. Have a great weekend!
