A cold, foxes, and plenty of babies (just not ours)

JB snagged this picture of Scrubs and I taking a nap this weekend. Scrubs was just waking up when JB took this photo. You can probably tell how great I feel by looking at me. :)




As I have mentioned previously, we have a few fox (or is it foxes?) that live right around here on base. We think they eat the insane squirrels that we have in incredible abundance. Scrubs doesn't bark at things outside that he "knows." For instance, once he meets a dog, he won't bark at them anymore. He only barks at the unfamiliars. The fox is one of those unfamiliars. (One morning JB took Scrubs out without the leash and the fox was out. Scrubs took off and returned a few minutes later when he realized how fast that fox was!)

I have been trying to get the fox on film for many weeks. Scrubs will start barking, I'll grab the camera, and then the fox hears Scrubs and runs off. However, this morning I managed to capture him on film briefly. Look fast in this video. You'll see him running in the background. (And hold your ears as well as Scrubs is barking quite loudly.)

JB is on his OB rotation. This means that he is delivering tons of babies. Sort of ironic as we wait for XY to get here. OB means long days (7am to 7 or 7:30pm usually) and also John once again having to watch everyone else celebrate. He says that he looks forward to watching these celebrations with our own baby waiting at home each evening when he gets done. That will be refreshing!

There is truly not much else to report. Baby? Still not here. Countdown? Fifteen days! Holy cow. Holy cow. Holy cow. Keep checking back. I'll make sure to post before we rent our car and drive out! We make sure to be near the house phone, cell phone, or pager at all times. Our friend Jodi is on call to come over and hang out with Scrubs. It's all waiting here!
