Just to Clarify . .

No, the baby isn't here yet. My daughter isn't due till mid to late January. She had an ultrasound on Thursday. They were excited knowing they were finally going to learn the sex of the baby.

The little booger was twisted in a way that the thingity was well hidden. That was a bummer but what was worse was being told the baby has enlarged kidneys.

The next day they went to a larger medical establishment for a more serious ultra-sound. THAT was when they learned that my grandson is really my grandDAUGHTER. After three offspring of the female gender, I must admit a boy was my first choice. Now that we know it's a girl, I've realized that's EXACTLY what I wanted afterall. IOW, it just doesn't matter.

The kidney issue is a mild concern. It could signify many things such as non-functioning kidneys or Down's Syndrome. It - most likely - however means nothing.

I'm sure she's fine. We're not too worried. Next month when there's another ultrasound they will hopefully tell us everything is just fine.

Offspring #3 has found a job and is moving out in two weeks. Yes, I know. It's what I've been waiting for HOWEVER it's rather far away and doesn't pay much. She'll have a roommate though so hopefully everything will work out just fine.

The pup has a bad spot on his leg. He keeps chewing it and has the fur gnawed off. We got some hydro cortisone doggy stuff but he's still chewing on it. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

So maybe just maybe when we get back to an empty nest we'll get back to normal here. You know. Normal. Honestly though at this moment in time I'm still not interested. Having an adult child living here has sure killed the libido. I am hoping that having the house back to ourselves will help us get back to normal. I miss NORMAL.

Anyhow...I realized I wasn't real clear on the girl thing and wanted to make sure you all know that nope, it's not January yet.
