Not too much to report...

A lingering cold is making it's way through our house. Started w/Emma, moved to Everson, then I woke up this am feeling congested w/a sore throat...

Ran a race benefitting the local Children's Miracle Network yesterday am. Naturally, Doug, Emma and I wore our "Team Armstrong" shirts. People thought it was funny - our own racing team shirts...was quite a privilege to say WE were running for our nephew, Wonderwill. Uncle Doug ran his fastest race...6:44...for the MILE! I was quite proud of him. I think the Team Armstrong shirt made him run faster.

Been fighting with our pool all week. We got it last summer from our neighbor for $25...so we're trying to make it last as LONG as possible. Has a BIG hole in the blow-up-floating-ring-thing. Been trying to patch and patch and duct tape over the hole a-l-l w-e-e-k l-o-n-g, not wanting to get rid of the pool, and not really wanting to spend the $$ on a new one. TODAY, Doug bought some epoxy and worked his magic...seems to be holding up. Yippee!!!!

No major baby news to report. Only 16lbs gained to date...5 in the last 2 weeks...mostly h2o though. My ankles have completely disappeared, I can barely fit into my sneakers, and am stuck wearing flip flops most of the day. You can actually press your finger into the top of my foot...pick it up...and watch the indentation slowly fill back up with fluid. It's really really strange...5th pregnancy and the 1st for this experience!

Emma is off to see the Nancy Drew movie with a friend this afternoon, Ev and Doug just returned from an errand, and I need to get dinner going.
