Hurricane Ike

Well, we are patiently awaiting Hurricane Ike to make landfall. As of now, they are expecting it to be a direct hit to Galveston which means we are in for an ugly 36 hours. We should start feeling the hurricane effects sometime early this afternoon. Ike is expected to make landfall around 7 am tomorrow. We are prepared for the worst but are hoping for some reprieve.

If you remember, it was almost 3 years ago this month that we were in the same position - me pregnant (although much farther along) anticipating a very horrific hit from Hurricane Rita. Luckily, Rita fizzled out right before she hit and we had about 5 or 6 hours of bad rain. Unfortunately, I am not feeling so confident regarding Ike.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We will keep you posted.
