Stone Cold

This morning the Stannix's woke up in what felt like an igloo. Camilla had woken up a few times and walked to our bed saying "Up?". The second time I put her back to bed I noticed her room was freezing cold, but didn't think too much of it. As Mr. Stannix rolled over in the middle of the night I said "Is it colder in here, or is it just me?" and I got a "It's cold". On the plus side, I got some snuggling! Camilla hopped in with us early this morning for a quick snuggle and her feet were like little icicles. We woke up this morning and it seemed almost cold enough that you could see your breath. I know our house is old, but usually it's not this cold. Mr. Stannix bundled up and went down for a shower and even our bathroom was freezing! Stepping into the tub was like stepping on ice in your bare feet. Normally, if we keep the bathroom door shut at night it's super warm inside in the morning! Camilla curled up on the couch with a blanket, honey nut cheerios and her Elmo show for the morning while I started breakfast. As we ate, I thought my toes were going to fall off and wished I'd put a sweater on before coming down stairs. Something was definitely up! After breakfast, I bundled up and made us some hot chocolate to warm our insides. That made things a little more tolerable. I called up our awesome landlord and he came over to investigate for us, since I know nothing about the old school furnace that we have in our house. Turns out the pilot light went out at some point which meant no heat. It was an easy fix and we have an almost toasty house again!
Our beast of a furnace

This morning Camilla and I took in our program at the library. She had fun, like she always does. We then headed to the doctors for a pre-natal checkup. Camilla was very good for me and sat so nice. The baby is healthy and well. Just over a month to go! Camilla fell asleep on the way home and is now napping on the couch in her jacket and hat. At least she's warm!! I think I'm off to get some lunch and do some baking this afternoon!

Happy blogging!!

I know the feeling! We were spending time at my mom's house and came home to pick up bathing suits and realized our furnace was NOT working. Mark made things work for a while with his electrician know how, but then we had to buy a part on a HOLIDAY from this great guy! We we certainly glad to be warm again!
