Gene and I finally purchased our baby furniture. It was a spur of the moment decision but they just happened to have the crib I wanted in stock in store. So anyway, we decided to purchase the crib, the dresser/changing table combo and the chifferobe (like a armoire/wardrobe thing but not exactly) but the combo unit wasn’t in stock so it is on order. We’ll pick up all 3 pieces whenever the combo unit comes in, in approximately 7-10 business days. In the mean time? I am trying to find paint colors and decide on what I want to do with the walls in the nursery. I am too lazy to post pictures on here of the furniture but I’ll link to the website for each item: crib, dresser/changing table combo, chifferobe.

So anyway, I had to take Gene to the doctor today for some sharp pains on his head/scalp area. It’s something that is reoccurring, that has probably happened every 3 months or so on average. He gets these sharp stabbing pains on his head, to the point where his hair follicles are even sensitive to touch. There is no headache or other symptoms accompanied by it. So he had a flare up of this on Sunday and it lasted all day and all last night and it wasn’t until around noon today that it had pretty much gone away and become bearable. We went to the doctor and she thinks he has Trigeminal Neuralgia. Tomorrow night at 10 PM (yes, you read that right, 10 PM) he is going for an MRI of his brain to make sure there aren’t any tumors or something else that is causing this to happen. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they don’t find anything bad on the MRI and that all is ok. It is always stressful when you have tests done that you can’t get the results back right away on.

Our little mini vacation starts on Saturday. We’re going to drop the dogs off early in the morning and then head down to Dallas sometime between 8 and 9 AM. We’ll stop in Bedford, TX and have lunch at his aunt’s Chinese restaurant and then make our way down to Dallas where his Uncle lives and stay with them that night. On Sunday we’ll head even farther down to Austin, our destination and check into our hotel. We don’t have any SET plans as of right now. I know there is a GIGANTIC Whole Foods in Austin that we are totally going to hit up and I am pretty sure there are some nice restaurants and other places we’ll check out while we are there as well. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this problem with Gene’s head stays away so that he can enjoy our time away. It’s our last little trip away before baby arrives and I want it to be extra special for the two of us.

Well that is all for now. I’m going to relax before I snuggle under the covers and get to sleep tonight. Got another full day of work tomorrow, OBGYN at 6 PM and then Gene’s MRI at 10 PM.
