I finally had the Internet fixed around here, so I am able to be back online again full time, which means more time for blogging!! I just need to get a wireless router now so I can use my laptop here at home again, but I have to send it out to Dell to get fixed because the screen lid decided to break.
Well, October is upon us and this is going to be one busy month around the Fry household. We are going to be moving on the 18th to the other side of our complex to a two-bedroom that we were able to score an amazing deal on, $30 less then what we are paying for now, and it is really a good thing we were able to get the two-bedroom because as we start buying things for the baby, like his travel system (stroller and car seat combo) and people start giving us gifts like lots of clothes and a baby bath, we soon realized that for such a little guy, his things are big and taking up a lot of space. Plus, my mom is throwing me a baby shower that same week, so things are going to be pretty busy. Not to mention that once we move, we have about two weeks before my due date, so my mom said that she will come over and help me get things settled in, so our house is somewhat organized when John comes.
Speaking of John, things are going well, we will be at 35 weeks tomorrow. He is still as active as ever, and at the doctor they have been hooking me up to a fetal monitor to check his heartbeat and the doctor says he seems pretty happy in here. I had to cancel my appointment for yesterday due to Phil and I having a cold (which he is better because he can take some good medicine for it, I am toughing it out with no meds), so we go on Friday and should have another growth ultrasound. I am interested to see how big he is now, he was 4.8 pounds about 3 weeks ago, and I am also hoping he cooperates and lets us get a good 3D picture of his face this time.

She's back!!
Kimbo is back in business here at Kimbo Central...and it's about time, dontcha think!?
We finally got the cable and Internet hooked up today. The installer showed up around 8am and we explained that in the living room we were hooking up just a regular digital DVR box and in our bedroom we were hooking up an HD-DVR box since we got a High-Def TV as a Christmas/Wedding Present from my Grandma Joan. We also told the guy where we were hooking up the cable modem and telephone.
We had to explain this about five times....
After he finally gets it, he goes outside turn the lines on, and then he said he'd be back in to hook up everything. He had to be outside about 20-30 mins. I'm not sure what he was doing out there. He comes back in, and we explain again where the equipment is going, and now he has a machine where he is tuning each line, and says he isn't getting enough power, so he goes back outside. By this point he's been here for an hour.
The rest of the time was spent like this. He brought in the boxes, hooked everything up, and then spent time outside trying to turn up the levels, and amping up things and putting three and eight way splitters on things. He kept saying the power level was just to high, which made me wonder, if the power level is too high, will the Cox Cable building, I don't know,explode perhaps?
When it came to the cable modem, he tried hooking it up to one computer, even though I told him it went to the other computer and that I wouldn't mind hooking that computer up. He fiddles around and finally allows me to hook it up, so I do and after a few tries, I get the Internet up and running.
I should have gotten paid to be his assistant.
A total of four and a half hours later, he is finally done, everything is working, and he heads out.
Phew....
Until the TV in the living room TV started having audio stuttering problems and the Internet kept going in and out.
Back comes the guy...
Now he's unhooking my TV (which I was watching at the time, and it wasn't even the TV that was having the problem) and shuts off the Internet and spends more time outside fiddling. By this time my husband comes home from work and wonders what is going on. I think he was here about hour or so, and finally everything finally worked.
Problem was...when he came back, he came from helping his friend dig a trench..in a hundred degree weather...
And he smelled, for lack of a better term...like ass sweat.
And I even have one of those Air Wick air fresheners that goes off every 36 mins and it still didn't help the smell.
But, in the end, I have my Internet back and I have spent the entire night ignoring my husband so I can play online and blog. But it is good to be back, and keep checking back often since now I will be able to blog more frequently, and I have a lot I can blog about from the time I was away from here.
