After three days of running a space heater
in our knee wall (and no house fires, yay!!) the plastic pipes
finally defrosted and the water started circulating again. Yay!
Tonight we will sleep in toasty comfort… and everyone in
their own bed. Yay! ;)

On an unrelated
note, I took Lex on a tour of the Birthing Pavilion (at the
hospital) today. We went with our friends Michelle and Dylan
(she is due in August, but hadn’t been to the BP before) and
happened to meet another woman (due next week) that I know from
playgroups. Her daughter is two and a half and totally into the
baby thing. She is excited about the baby, asking all sorts of
questions, and was really into the tour. Lex was totally
indifferent. They even showed us a brand new pink squirmy baby
and Lex looked at him then turned to me and asked for another
biscuit. We could have been touring a museum or construction
site and it would have made no difference to him. Actually, I
take that back, I suspect he would have been much more
interested at a construction site! Oh well. At least next time
we go (in labor) he’ll at least have seen the place.

And congrats to Jim & Julie. They became
Uncle Jim & Aunt Julie yesterday when his sister-in-law
delivered a little girl (on her due date!). I’m told all are
doing well.
