Dyson, dogs, and delivery

Well, Jordan broke her glasses last night.  I know that this is bound to happen with a kid her age, but after several months without an issue I guess I grew complacent.  I didn't see it but she fell against the ottoman and hit her face.  Voila!  No more glasses.  She didn't fuss much though it must have hurt because she had a big scrape across her forehead where the glasses slid up.  I'm lucky she doesn't cry over every boo boo because the kid seems to hurt herself several times a day.  We've gotten to the point where if she cries it's because she really did a number on herself.

Chase called the doctor's office this morning and ordered new frames.  They should be here tomorrow and she'll be back to good.  They can just reuse the lenses and the cable temples, thank goodness.  I know she'll be glad to get them back because she has already asked for them.  We were on the way to dinner last night, about half an hour after the incident, and she started asking for her 'gatgets.'  I never thought she'd get so great about her glasses that she'd actually be asking for them...

Here is Jordan helping Chase vacuum Cody's chair.  Yes, Cody is the dog.  He's also kind enough to share his chair with anyone who doesn't mind being loved on.

Here he is, all 86 pounds of him.  He typically lies across the back of the chair so there's room for people to sit.  He makes a great pillow.  He also sheds like mad.  It's rather pointless to wear black to our house unless you don't want to sit down.  He's one of the reasons we need a super duper vacuum.  

He's big on cuddling.  Yes, he's lying across my lap as I knit.  He was only mildly bothered by the yarn tickling his ear every so often.  

Chase left home after lunch, ostensibly headed back to work.  Then I received a text asking me what I'd thought of such and such vacuum and did I want him to go ahead and get it because he was at the store.  Hmmm...that sneaky man.  I told him to do whatever he wanted as he was the one who was going to be using it.  You see, we made a deal when we got married.  We divvied up the chores and have, for the most part, stuck with the deal.  Vacuuming, mopping, etc. is his domain.  Of course, now that I'm home all the time I do much more of that but lately have let him take back over (for obvious reasons).  

I have a feeling he'll be coming home tonight with a Dyson Animal.  You can kind of see why we need it!

As for your questions, DJan, I plan on taking a laptop to the hospital.  They have free wireless and I took one last time.  We are definitely taking a camera!  I think we took about 200 pictures in the first few days with Jordan.  Chase and Ashley will be in the delivery room with me.  They keep me (and the nursing staff) entertained.  There was an awful lot of joking and laughter last time around.  They also tell me how incredibly awesome I am and how proud they are of me.  Besides, I figure he helped me get into this condition and deserves to watch me struggle to get out of it!  Don't worry, though, I don't think I'm going quite yet.  We'll see what the doctor has to say tomorrow.  I'm not sure I'll make it to my due date, but I kind of hope I do.  Mostly because I don't want to rush through these last few weeks with Jordan.  We're about to enter a new phase and I am not quite ready to let go of this one...
