Entry for August 9, 2006

Well today has been a long day & it's barely 6:30pm! We officailly started moving. So far we have all the major furniture out & into storage. Now the apartment is a mess with everything everywhere. Big Eric took the day off & his brother Silver helped him moe everything. What a way to spend your 31st birthday Big Eric! Well, I guess it was a good idea to give him a massage gift certifricate. He's been saying for so long that he wants to get a proffesional one so I knew I did right this year.


Eric Ryan had another good day. We did have to go get lab work done this morning. We had to get the blood drawn before his morning meds, 8am! I'm always worried when we have to go do this. Some people have the hardest time finding a vien. I called the hospital ahead of time to get the guy who normally does it down to outpatient, but when we got there we found out it was his day off. They told me they called someone else for NICU down so we have to wait for him. But thank God, he was able to get blood on the 1st try. Eric Ryan didnt even cry. He just flinched when the needlw 1st went in then sort of had this dazzed look on his face the rest of the time. Afterward when I picked him up, he let out a squeel. It was so cute. He knew what was going on & happy it was over with!


Eric Ryan spent the rest of the day with his nurse at my sister Aprils house where the 2 of us will be staying for the next month, then moving to California.
