Austin's Birthday

Some kind of luck.. and not the good kind...

I'm not sure what happened, but this last week as been one heck of a week... Its been one thing after another...

Tuesday morning on our way to work, we were stopped at a Red light... you know, like you're supposed to do? Well I'm not sure what happened, but the lady behind us ran right into us...
There is minimal damage to the car as far as we can see... but we haven't brought it into the shop yet to get an estimate...

I'm fine... I called my doctor and she wanted me to go in for an emergency ultrasound to make sure that the baby was alright... and everything looks fine...

Mike had a doctor's appointment that day as well.. a follow up to his ESI and to check on the progress of his loss of feeling/lack of stregnth in his leg... It had been getting worse so that led to an Emergency MRI... which we still haven't heard back from....

Wednesday our power went out... well it was Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning... So I got little to no sleep that night... It was so hot... and I was so worried about over sleeping... So that day was just pretty screwy....

Thursday was a sad day for the entire world... Michael Jackson died... but that's a whole other post... I'll post later about some of my memories regarding the King of Pop...


Friday, Mike's pants ripped at work, and I spent 20 minutes stitching a 6 in rip in jeans together by hand... My fingers still hurt...

Yesterday we thought the bad luck streak had ended... we had a pretty good day... We went out to lunch with a friend and then they played pool... and then we went to the movies... It was just what Mike and I needed.... we felt so refreshed...

Mike dropped me off at Momma's to pick up something she had bought for me... while he went to pick up Austin from his grandparent's house (they babysat during our little outing)... We were on our way home talking about how good our day had been and how the week had just been so weird...

...and then it happened...

You know right when you think nothing else can/will go wrong... and it always does?...

Yeah... that's what happened....

Our car died... in the middle of the road... The electrial stuff was still working... I didn't even notice that anything was wrong... Mike did...
We managed to coast our way into a parking lot... dug in the glove box and found the number to road side assistance... (thank god its still under warranty) and then proceeded to wait for the tow truck.... Mike's parents met us and his mom let us use her truck to get Austin home (it was nearly 10 pm...)

So now my car is at the dealership... waiting for them to open Monday morning, so that we can have some warranty work done to have whatever is wrong fixed... *sigh*

So now we are basically down to no car... Mike still can't drive his (its a standard) b/c of his leg... and I can't drive it... I never learned how...

I am so stressed out... I don't even want to think about what might happen next...

Saturday

Well, its Saturday...another week down...
I am 15 1/2 weeks pregnant... I've been feeling movemnet for a little over a week now...

Austin is doing great!
He's getting big, and is so smart!

The weather is hot... extremely hot... and I know its just going to get hotter...
We have been playing outside a little bit... but like I said its really hot... and I can't stand to be outside much lately...

Mike's still hurt... he seemed to be getting better, but this morning he's hurting about 20 million times worse...

My mom came by today for a visit and brought us some presents... Austin got some new paint pens... so he's having fun painting... It was good to see her...

Tonight I'm making burrito casserole... We are going to watch the LSU baseball game... I'm not feeling very excited about that, but that could be because I've got a horrible headache...

I guess that's about it... I'll try to post some pictures later!
