Boil, boil, trouble and toil....

We are currently under a "boil order." Our city water supply "may" be contaminated since thursday, and until Sunday night at the earliest, we are boiling all the water we use for drinking, brushing teeth, and washing dishes.  The good news?  We have/had enough water stored to get through it, AND we haven't been sick so far (some people in the city have been seriously ill...think the worst flu you've ever had times 5). The biggest revelation?  That I am SPOILED for my modern conveniences....like water you don't have to think about, and a microwave...yeah, ours sort of "blew up" yesterday, LOL
Spoiled.

Blood pressure meds (which I am back on) are working to regulate my blood pressure, the baby is a wiggly little thing (FUN, since I never expected to feel that again), and summer is looming. 

We'll find out the beginning of June the gender of this little surprise package.  It still feels a little (LOT) surreal, but I'm slowly getting used to the idea.

We are feeling sad that we aren't close enough to visit the two new babies in the family, but respectfully request frequent photos posted. Sigh. Spoiled.

Sophia and Mario are on their way to her last club tournament.  They won 2 out of 3 tourney play games yesterday....hopefully they do well today. 

That's the update.  Terribly exciting, I know.

My next door neighbor's brother is one that has been hospitalized in Saratoga Springs because of the water. Yuck. Hopefully they figure it out and fix it soon! If you need more clean water, let me know. I can bring you my 5 gallon jugs full!

Thanks, Nat. We're doing ok. We have 2 55 gal. drums that we haven't touched yet, and still have probably 2 dozen 2 liter bottles that we're using for washing, and then still have 7 cases of bottled water (we've used 2 so far). It's just an inconvenience, really.
