Camden gets a new bed!

It was time.



Although we were holding onto the days when Camden would still fit in his little cradle, for the sake of sharing our one bedroom, he's just now too mobile! For instance, in the picture above, he started the night swaddled in that blanket and perpendicular to where he ended up!

So we went over to my parents' home and brought home the crib we'd been storing there.
A huge shoutout to both my parents for letting it live at their house until we were ready for it AND to my sister Marianne, who is loaning us the crib in the first place!!!



We're pretty pleased with how well it fits in the room and don't really feel like we lost too much space, with the reorganization we've been able to do.


As you can see, Camden has much more room to sleep and maneuver. (We still find him totally turned about in odd angles-- including 180 degree turns-- each morning)


He seems pretty happy with it don't you think!?!

Ouch!

All for the love of the game...

So Kelv and I were on an intramural softball team together this summer. It was a blast!!!

But a little painful too...

2 weeks ago today, we had our first 2 tournament games as double headers. Well, during our second game we were pretty evenly matched and playing hard. Keeping this in mind, when I saw the ball flying towards home just after rounding the bases from 3rd to home, my competitive instincts kicking into full gear I realized to make it safe, I'd have to slide. So I did... and I made it home....SAFE!!! wOOt! And we actually ended up winning the game!

Well, 2 days later however, my leg wasn't as happy about my choice to slide to home over the hard and sandy ground.

After a trip to the urgent care, the doctor put me on 10 days of antibiotics, Lortab for the pain, and home with a whole lot of bandages, Neosporin, and tape, to help heal my infected and very painful wound. Here's what it looked like that Saturday after being treated with Neosporin all day. And to be honest, the wound was looking better than it had that morning.


Well, having won our games, we were still in the tournament and had 2 more game (double headers again) the following Thursday which was one week ago. Well, come the second game again, I came into a situation where I was in danger of getting out, but this time at 3rd base. So as I ran hard into the bag, I sort of tripped/dove into the 2 players standing on the 3rd base bag. I sort of took out the tall guy in my way, taking his cleats to my hand and already wounded left leg (thank goodness it was wrapped), but that caused him NOT to catch the ball, so I was SAFE AGAIN!!! My knees and hand were bleeding, but at least I didn't get out right?! This is what my leg looked like after that game:


So today, after another painful week, I can finally walk normally, without fear of pain or reopening any wounds!


Man... who knew that coed, lower division, BYU intramurals could be so exciting!?!
