Yesterday, Sandra and I baked cookies all morning to thank the Schwegler staff for throwing me a baby shower. The kitchen was full of wonderful smells! Unfortunately, the basement "stink" could not be ignored. After pulling the carpet up, Brandon and I realized that the damage was much more worse (and stinky) than we had thought, and everything had to go!
So, Brandon and his parents pulled up the carpet and the pad underneath and began to clean out the basement floor. Brandon and his dad found the clogged drain just outside of our walkout basement door and "unclogged" it. When the kids got home from school, they helped sweep and vacuum, while Brandon and I ran to Home Depot to price some tile. There's no use putting more carpet in with this crazy Kansas weather.
Once the rains let up, we will bring home some tile and begin a new project, one that needs to be completed fast, since Ben's birthday party is in two weeks..at our house!
MONITORING MOLLY: Molly went for her one month check-up today. It's hard to believe she's been here nearly a month! She weighed in at 9 pounds, 8 ounces...somewhere near the 65%ile. She was 23 inches long, (99th percentile) which explains why all of her outfits are too short! She's been having a hard time taking her bottle lately and has been a little bit grumpy. It turns out that she has thrush. Poor thing! On antibiotics already! She's not letting that get in the way of enjoying her food. Obviously.
