the essence

I'm still here, I haven't had the baby, we've just been swamped! I was doing a lot of computer work this week, so much so that my dishes haven't been getting done, my floors are dirty, my bathrooms are a mess, laundry needs folded....

Plus, I'm teaching piano as long as I can, I had my prenatal appointment Wednesday (I still LOVE that place) & I met with the pediatrician yesterday. She was FABULOUS! It's actually a family practice so I can go too, but she specializes in pediatrics. I was so impressed with this Doctor, which says a lot because I'm not a big fan of doctors at all. But it's a good sign to me when they don't think they're God.

This weekend we're in Orlando. Yes, WE, as in Ray is here for the first time in about seven months! I'm so glad he was able to switch his work schedule around. We've had a lot of family time & relaxing. Sarah, Ellie's mom, is coming over this afternoon for some girl time. I'm so excited to get to see her!

Speaking of Ellie, she has been in the hospital with chicken pox, which is one of the worst things you can get when you're going through chemo & have no immunities. But the power of prayer is amazing & she's doing surprisingly well, considering. One feature that is on her blog but that has not been advertised by the family is a donation button through paypal. I know that financially this is very difficult & I ask that anyone that can even donate $1 to please do so. They're still in the beginning stages of fighting this cancer & I'm sure they can use any support.
