We are visiting Gary's parents. For Christmas, we bought his dad an HD TV. We asked his mom to pick out a stand that would hold the new tv, so she picked out a decent-looking one in a box from Wal-Mart.
Upon opening the box, the first thing that came out was a BRICK! Actually, it was a broken pacer. That was our first clue. Next, out came a piece of sheetrock! When we finally got a piece of wood out, it was obvious that this was not the same piece of furniture that was pictured on the box.
The board had nails sticking out of it, and had water rings on it. It had gouges and scratches, and paint spilled on it. It appears that someone bought the furniture, broke down their old crappy furniture, crammed a few pieces into the box, and added enough weight so it felt legit. I have no idea how they taped the box back up so well, because you could not tell anything from the outside.
Gary, his brother, and his mom have replaced it the best they could in the box, and headed back to Wal-Mart. I'm eager to hear what the employees have to say about that!

Oh Baby!
We are expecting our second baby! I'm due 8-8-11, but my doctor will induce two weeks early. Since I've been diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome, I have to give myself heparin shots daily. It's getting easier, but it still isn't fun. My belly displays a new bruise daily, but I know it's worth it!
I had my second doctor's appointment yesterday, and everything looked really good. I will have a sonogram every time i go. It was so reassuring to see a baby on that screen!
Kate is very excited, of course! We're trying to figure out the bedroom situation, but we've got some time to sort that out.
