We had the privilege of having an ultrasound done on Jess to see our growing baby! We hadn’t had such an extensive ultrasound done before. In Indiana the ultrasound was done directly in the Doctor’s office and was very quick and to-the-point. Here we actually had to schedule it at the hospital – so obviously it was a much bigger ordeal. It lasted for nearly 55-minutes!
Here are some pictures of Sheets Baby #2!
I hope it’s normal for the furnace-fix-it-guy to have almost completely black hands (he was Caucasian when he arrived) at the end of a furnace-fix.
The house is now warm-ish and we will look forward to all of the nooks and crannies getting filled with “real” heat instead of the kind that made my eyes burn for the last 2-days.
Thanks for the concern we felt from phone calls, Twitter messages, and e-mails!
What an ordeal!
Last night before SNAC (Sunday Night After Church) it was getting kind of chilly downstairs in our house. I didn’t think much about the why – especially when the crowd arrived and our house quickly regained its heat by body temperatures filling the place!
We went to bed without concern but when I heard Ella this morning at 6:30 I quickly realized something was wrong. I glanced at my alarm clock that has a built-in thermometer and read “57-degrees”.
I figured Jess must’ve turned off the programmed settings on the thermostat or something. I went downstairs and found the furnace “ON”, but not hot.
It wasn’t until after 2PM this afternoon that a service guy showed up and told us that we had a cracked heat-exchange and that it would need to be replaced.
We were also told that it probably couldn’t happen today.
I failed to mention that it’s been in the single-digits and low 10’s all day outside, so you can imagine the comfort level inside isn’t very comfortable.
Looks like we have a guy coming out tomorrow to replace the part and get us back to normal. In the meantime, Pastor Tim had an “emergency-use” Kerosene heater in his garage that he’s letting us borrow for now. We’ll try and get the house ROASTING with the kerosene heater before bed and then wrap up with lots ‘o layers as best we can after turning the heater off before we sleep.
If I wake up with a slushy (read: frozen boogers) in my nose tomorrow I will probably cry.
