The Random

1. I have my next prenatal appointment around lunchtime. I’ll post to TG later with the report. No ultrasound today - just the normal check up that includes listening to the heartbeat, which is pretty cool.

2. The weekend was generally good and busy. At this moment I cannot remember what we did on Saturday, although we opted not to go to church since Jesse’s congestion and cough seemed to relapse a bit. Speaking of that…

3. Jesse scared the crap out of us on Friday night. We were watching a movie (Out of Time with Denzel - 2 stars out of 5) when all of a sudden we heard this weird coughing in the monitor. It wasn’t like normal coughing, so Beau and I took off to head upstairs. Beau got there first, of course, and when I got there I saw Beau holding Jesse over his arm and sort of patting his back. My thought had been that Jesse coughed hard enough to make himself puke, so I expected to see (and smell) vomit, but there was none.

“What position was he in when you got here?” I asked. Beau said he was on his hands and knees and making choking sounds. Dear Lord, help us. It seemed that Jesse was still mostly asleep - when the coughing stopped, he just leaned into Beau’s chest.

Then the debate began about what happened and whether or not to cover him back up when we put him back into bed. Since I was still dealing with my cough, too, I hypothesized that phlegm probably collected in his throat and caused him to choke a bit and then the coughing and because he’s still learning how to cough he didn’t know how to take the deep enough breaths he needed to really clear things out. I have woken up with a choking feeling and coughing jags in the middle of the night. Turns out he did fine the rest of the night, poor little guy.

4. Anyway, back to Saturday ... I still can’t remember what we did during the day. I know that Beau went to the store for me to pick up the last things I need for prepping the food for the Christmas lunch at my office tomorrow. I think I worked on business stuff while he was gone. I do remember that Beau and I played a marathon game of Scrabble in the evening rather than watching TV or a movie. I was losing for most of the game and then I got a Z and snagged the lower right corner Triple Word Score with ZEAL - 69 points - to take the lead and win the game.

5. Sunday morning was Beau’s morning for parking lot duty at church, so Jesse and I headed out to Walmart to pick up some things we needed. And it helped me to keep him occupied without having to expend a lot of energy chasing him and yelling No every 30 seconds. He does great in the shopping cart, so that’s a blessing. We got home and he went down for his nap shortly after. I then went to work on some jewelry custom orders that had backed up and managed to get them all done. Then I decided that the necklace I made to match a bracelet and earrings I had given to a friend for her birthday would be interesting bridesmaid jewelry, so I started taking pictures for the listing in my shop. Unfortunately, my camera seems to be dying. So when Beau got home we discussed it and my early Christmas present from him is a new camera - I ordered it online yesterday. What stinks is that I have some new jewelry pieces that I was hoping to list in my shop today but with no camera, that isn’t possible. So I’ll have to wait until the new camera arrives.

6. While watching the Survivor finale (I

<3 the winner), Beau and I wrapped most of the Christmas presents. I especially wanted to get the ones for his sister and family wrapped to get those into the mail today. And I have a box that needs to go to

my sister, too. What stinks is that I discovered that I had no tissue, which seems odd, because I know I had a ton last Christmas. And bows, too.

And I think that’s enough for this morning.
