Fun Weekend ahead

Well, I snuck away from the hospital for a moment to eat some breakfast and stuff.  We got Randi admitted to the hospital this morning around 6:30 am for her luxury accommodations at Valley View for the weekend.

Same thing as when she was pregnant Kaitlyn.  Randi's blood sugar is too high, so the doc is putting her on insulin and he put in the hospital for the weekend to get her started on it.  So a fun 8 months of shots in her stomach, I'm sure she is going to love that! haha..

Vickie was great enough to keep Kaitlyn for us this weekend so Kaitlyn doesn't have to be bounced around the hospital and home and stuff, and plus she will be able to get her nap it.  However, we did found out yesterday afternoon that Kaitlyn now seems to have hand, foot and mouth disease.  Apparently she picked it up from her day care.  The lovely place that sends her home time after time with other kid's pacifiers and shoes and stuff.. haha..  Anyway, I guess it is to be expected being around all those other kids, so it is just part of "being a kid"... lol..  So about 5-7 days now and she should be over this (we hope).

Well, I better get back to the hospital before she gets to wondering about me..haha..  I Will update again soon.

All around update

Well, it is busy as usual around here.  I will try to get you updated best I can.

Well, first my school stuff.  I got my score back on my 2nd economics test.  Well, lets just say that when you put school aside to do work stuff at home, it shows.  I ended up with a 79%.  So now the only way I can keep my A in that class is to make a 100% on my written assignment due in a week, and also a 96 or higher on the final test.  Needless to say, it looks like it will be a B in there for me.  And you know what, I will take it.  That class is getting rough and with the semester running out, my professor just keeps going faster and faster through the material so he can get everything covered that he wants to.

I also got pre-enrolled for next fall.  I bit easier schedule than this semester, which I will need with Randi having us another kiddo this fall.  I enrolled in Financial Accounting (I took it at OSU, but didn't score high enough, so I have to retake it before I can move on to Managerial Accounting).  So Financial Accounting is Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00am.  Then, this is awesome!  I'm taking Computer Business Applications (another I took at OSU, but this one didn't transfer).  But, it is a web class!!  So I only have 1 class I have to go to the campus for.  So that will make work alot easier!

Now onto other stuff.  Randi went to the lab today so they could draw blood for some diabities test.  We didn't hear anything today, so maybe we will tomorrow.  As some of you may recall with Kaitlyn, as soon as we found out we were pregnant and that Randi's blood sugar was high, they put her in the hospital for the weekend to get her on insulin.  Well, we have a very good shot to be back in the hospital it seems.  So I will keep you all posted on that.

IMG_2630.JPGKaitlyn is just being Kaitlyn.  We go from good mood to fussy in 2 seconds flat! haha...  Nah, she is doing good.  She is acting like she is feeling a lot better, so maybe we got rid of her ear infections (we hope).  She came home today so covered in dust and dirt that Randi said that dirt fell out of her shoes when she took them off of her.  But I tell you what.  If she keeps practicing her easter egg picking up, she is going to kick but next year.  We have spent every night this week picking them up and putting them in her basket, and then dumping it and doing it again.  So watch out boys! haha...

Happy After Easter!

kaitlyn_easter_06.jpgWell, late as usual.  So here is a late Happy Easter to everyone.

Kaitlyn, Randi and I headed up to Stillwater for the Easter holiday to spend it with my family this year.  And we missed everyone that wasn't there.

But Kaitlyn got her some Easter egg hunting in and well, needless to say, I think I spent most of my time grazing (a cool little deal I learned how to do from my good ol' Uncle David.. haha).  The food was great though, and so was the visit.  We hope to get back up there soon, but we will just have to see around my school schedule.  We will be moving into finals here before long.  Well, we were just assigned our last lab assignment in computer programming today, so I guess that means the end is near... lol..

I wanted to let everyone know that I updated our photo gallery tonight.  The first 3 galleries on page one have been updated.  I put a new movie in gallery #1, some new misc. pictures in gallery #2 and then added a new gallery as #3 with the Easter Sunday pictures. 

Well, I hope everyone is doing well.  Randi has her first doctor's appointment Wednesday, so maybe after that we might know how far along we are and a possible due date.  So I will be back on here soon.  Till then...

Thursday, April 6

Well, it happened again!!

Lady's and gentlemen, Randi and I give you #2!!

That is right!  We just found out the first of the week that we are now expecting our second kiddo. woo hoo!

We are really excited about it.  It looks like it will be around the end of November of 1st of December.

Our minds are still swirling ourselves.  This wasn't really expected, but man, we are happy!  And now Kaitlyn will have a new playmate, so I am sure she will be happy (once she gets over her jealousness.. haha).

Anyway, just wanted everyone to know.  We go to the doctor on April 19th as our first "official" visit.  So more news to follow.

It is official

Well, it is official today. I am now the Digital Design & Development Manager! Our old department of Web Development has been transformed now to Digital Design & Development. A new department consisting of a web team (that I manage), a graphic design team (that I manage) and a photography team (that my director manages).

This is what I love though. So I get to manage the web team. Well, I had a flash guy quit about a month ago, and we can't find a replacement. My web programmer (advance programming) is going to do database development over at our IT department, so he is gone, my web developer is going to move to the photography group, and my last web "helper" is on short term disability. So, the web team is ME! haha.. I am now the Manager, Project Manager and Web Developer. whew! fun times.

Well, I updated our photo gallery with some new photos of Kaitlyn and also a video. They are the 2 galleries on page 1 that say "UPDATED 4/3/06". She is just getting so big, and so mean! lol... She has been coming home with busted lips and bite marks and everything. So we aren't sure how much of that is her getting picked on, since they moved her to a new room, or how much is her bringing it on herself... lol..

Anyway, hope everyone is doing good! Miss you all!
