Where do I begin! A couple of things have happened in the last couple of days. To begin with, we almost made it a whole month without an accident report from school! Michael had to sign an accident report yesterday because another child in Austin's class had scratched his cheek and nose. They look nasty but Austin is enjoying getting to put antibiotic cream on his face. He thinks he needs to apply it to his whole cheek every 15 minutes.

Austin had an appointment with his Ear, Nose & Throat specialist today. Dr. R has stated that both of his tubes are still in his ears and will need to be surgically removed. Dr. R would like him to get through the winter with the tubes so our next appointment will be at the end of February. At his appointment in February Dr. R will evaluate his tubes again and more than likely we’ll set a surgery date. During the surgery Dr. R will remove the tubes and reconstruct the holes from where the tubes were located. Austin’s appointment is 8 days after my due date so hopefully our little girl will make her arrival early or on time! Ideally I’d like Austin to have surgery when I’m on maternity leave. I'm sure it's not going to be as extensive as when the tubes were placed in his ears but you never know.

Tomorrow is my turn to go to the doctor. Considering that my husband has made a comment in regards to me looking like I have a bowling ball in my stomach, I’m interested to see how things are going! I’m sure Dr. L will tell me the same exact thing he’s told me every time I’ve gone in for a check up, “Everything looks great, I’ll see you in two weeks.”

We are supposed to be getting some unusual weather for Texas tomorrow. Our high is supposed to be 44 degrees. The Weather Channel is predicting periods of rain and freezing rain in the morning and then it will become partly cloudy. They have also summed it up in one word. Cold. After turning the heat off, we may have to turn it back on again in the morning. It’s kind of strange how it’s going to go from in the 70’s today to 40’s tomorrow. And of course since we’re in Texas and people drive like idiots when it rains out, just imagine what it’s going to be like if there is freezing rain. I better leave for work an hour early tomorrow! Here are some pictures of Austin from last week; he’s really going to need his hat tomorrow! Can you tell that he was trying to finish watching the rest of Little Einstein's before we had to leave for school!
