I took two trips down to the Desert today. I think that much magic must be black.

I did a lot of things. Wonderful things, boring things, uncomfortable things.

I took Bowden back to school. Goodbye vacation. We will miss having our little man at home.
I drove to Indio for the first time. It has potential.
I got to know my new doctor's office, and liked everyone I met. I liked the artwork. I don't really think that a determining factor in who delivers your baby should be the pastel the doctor's son did of his father, but for some reason I loved it. His wife is also an artist in fabrics.

I heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. If I was to have 99 babies, I couldn't get bored with that sound.

I had blood drawn, and three other tests, too.
I drove back from Indio.
I took Jack down to the Desert the Banning way. This is the first time I've driven down to the Desert twice in the same day; quite the thrill.
I spent a lot of time in Doctor's offices. Dr. Rogers is a wonderful lady. She doesn't mess around, but she doesn't make you feel rushed either.
I found a drive-through to drop off our prescriptions, but not to buy food.
I ate out twice...I only got a Coke once, though.
I killed time in Target with my baby who has bronchitis past his bedtime waiting for his prescription to be filled.
I found a possible solution to the cat litter problem.
I supplied our household with cold and fever fighting tools.
I bought new toothbrushes. Good-bye Pokemon, Spider Man, and Hello Kitty. You are nothing but bacteria dormitories now.
I changed and dressed cranky Jacky for bed in the car.
I drove up the hill twice.
I spent maybe three and a half waking hours at home today.
I came home to find fevered and bronchitic (?) Lucy still awake. Administered the appropriate doses all around- Jack got his before we came back home.
I tucked in Bowden who talked about the beach and something else I didn't understand. I wonder where he gets sleep-talking from?

That's a lot, isn't it?

I missed one of my husband's days off. A sad thing, but the day wasn't too bad. Exhausting, yes, but not terrible. I prayed a lot for my family as I drove, and that was wonderful. I am very happy with my new obstetrician. I feel well-provided for with my pediatrician, and God's Goodness is easy to see in trying times.
