Up to our ears in poop! Literally!

Well our lives have been disrupted a bit. We've were forced to move out of our house due to having no sewer line at all. This past weekend our basement toilet and the main drain in our laundry room backed up. We thought it was just a fluke and everything would return to normal the next day. Well we were dead wrong. Sunday morning we returned to the basement to check on the drain and there was raw sewage all over the floor. It was so disgusting!!

So we packed up the dogs, the baby and ourselves and moved in with my mom until was fixed. I never knew how difficult it is to pack for a baby until now. Now I know what to expect for our first vacation in June.

We come to find out that our sewage line had busted because it had frozen solid for 30 feet of the line. Of course our luck another expensive fix to a house we've only been in a year. The people could not come out to fix it until today. Thank God it didn't take all day and we can finally return our lives to the normal routine.


On a happy note, below are some new pictures of Ellie. We also went for our 1 month visit this week and she is now 9 lbs 10 oz and 21.75 inches long. She is in the 65 percentile in growth. That news made me happy. At least she isn't short like me yet. The only issue the doctor could find is that she might have a little GERD. The cough before her cry is what led the doctor to believe this. We have to give her baby Prevacid every morning for a week. If this helps then we just keep her on it until around 6 months. Otherwise we have to go for a chest x-ray next week to see what else could be causing her weird cry. (I just thought it was normal) I'll keep you posted on her status.

Daddy made me cover her up. He was worried about the weirdos out there and that the picture may come back to haunt her if she ever runs for office!
