Computer Crash

So, I was doing the right thing by having an antivirus software on my computer. It did an update on Monday and required a reboot. When I did that, it wouldn't restart, but said that a system file required for booting the computer was either corrupt or missing. I tried to do the fix (by looking up what to do on the Internet- on Bob's computer of course), but it didn't work. I talked to a computer repair guy yesterday and he said if that fix didn't work, then what he would do is to reinstall Windows. So, I did that and of course that reformats the hard drive. So, I've lost everything. We have a backup drive on the computer, but the backup file is corrupt and it stopped backing up for some reason in May of last year anyway. So, if you're reading this, please email me so I have your email address, and also email me your mailing address. I lost all my pictures from 9/06 to 8/07. Luckily I didn't delete the pictures on my new camera that I got last August, so I think I still have all those pictures. I keep thinking of things I lost, like all the edited videos of Glenn (at least I have the unedited versions on tape). I don't have the disks for a lot of the software, and I'm sure I keep remembering other things that are gone.

Other than that, things are going well. My blood counts have been pretty good, and the baby is growing well. He keeps me up when I'm trying to nap. Glenn hasn't been napping much in the past few weeks, although he did nap Tuesday and Wednesday this week (which was such a treat since that's when I like to nap, too, when he gets home from school). The weather is wonderful here. It's been in the upper 70's pretty much every day since Friday, and no rain. I'm so used to spring being the rainy season, but our rainy season is in the fall here. Bob's going to be doing a ton of travel for work between now and 3 weeks prior to my due date. I told him no travel starting June 16 so that he doesn't miss the birth. I'm seeing my OB every other week, and starting in May, I'll be seeing the high risk OB (perinatologist) once a week. Oh what fun! But at least on those weekly appts, I get an ultrasound, so I get to see the baby. We're going to have a whole collection of ultrasounds on DVD. :)
