Crazy Blogging Blog Host

Well, I tried to blog yesterday - but the part of the blog system that actually allows you to post was not working. So I'll paste in yesterday's post here, and today's post is after yesterday's post.

Yesterday's Post:
--------------------------------------------
Hello all! I just got crap from Mom for not blogging so I'd better get an entry in here. Yesterday was Ben's appointment with the urologist about his testicles. If you didn't know, Ben's testicles had not descended when he was born. This appointment was to see if they had descended by themselves (which we knew they hadn't) and what to do if they hadn't. The doctor was 98% sure she could feel the left testicle, and less sure that she could feel the right testicle as it is higher up in his abdomen. She said she could feel something, but she wasn't positive that it was a testicle.

Anywhoo, the long and the short of that is that Ben has to have surgery to pull down his little 'boys'. The first (and potentially the only) surgery is scheduled for April 25. The doctor will get the left one down, and if that goes extremely well she will get the right one. If it is a struggle to get the left one she will only do that one and see if it makes it (which takes about 6 weeks) before she goes after the right one. It'll be touch and go on the day. Needless to say we're a little bit nervous (although we both like the doctor and have all faith in her abilities) and a little bit upset. It's hard to think about much else (like Blogs). But everything should work out fine and it will be nice to see something in Ben's little sac.

Other than that not much is happening. Carrie's parents are coming in on Friday night and Carrie and I are going on a date! I'm going out with Marie while Carrie is going out with Thad. Just kidding! We are going to get to spend some quality time together for the first time in a few months. (Not that we need it - we love spending time with our Ben-Ben. It just seems like it's one of those things married parents are supposed to do! :) ) We aren't sure what we're doing yet - I guess we'll just play it by ear. I'm going to sign off. Thanks for the comments - we do read them! If you haven't seen it, check out Darren's comment on Ben's post (the jibberish one). Funny stuff!

Until next time, faithful readers!

Today's Post:

Hello! Well, no date tonight. Bill and Joan did not need to come into the city tonight so we will be seeing them tomorrow. We did have a romantic night however, as we went storm door shopping! We bought a nice door with a neat retracting screen that should work well with all of our animals and child.

I bought Ben a little plastic swing for the backyard. I'll install it on the hated crabapple tree this weekend and we'll send pics as soon as we have them!

Speaking of pics, the pic above this post is for Auntie Kathy! She bought Ben those sexy boots, and I think we are going to get LOTS of use out of them. Ben loves it outside - so as soon as he learns how to walk properly in the boots he'll be let loose in the messy backyard.

Not much more to post. Carrie got her stamps today and as I am typing this she is piddling in the kitchen and having fun.

Until next time!

Us.
