All Around Town


Dearest Blessings~

Woo hoo .... it's just one week until Joshua's birthday!  Are you all getting excited?!  If the weather is nice, we're thinking of going to the State Fair that day!  :-)

Today was another cold day, but we couldn't spend it all cozy in the house.  We actually had a very busy day!  Once we got ready, we left the house around 9am and didn't return until about 3:30pm .... then, we went back out again! 

The reason we were so busy is that Joshua had three appointments today and then we had a visitation to attend because Grandpa Mike's uncle passed away:
-Feeding appointment with Krista at Rex in the morning
-Preschool meeting mid day in Cary
-Speech therapy early evening with Quinn
-Visitation in the evening

First came the feeding appointment with Krista.  Little man, you did so good!  Here's what I brought .... and I cooked ALL of these things myself!
-chicken pot pie pieces
-chicken, rice, veggie mix
-beef with pasta mix
-pumpkin bread pieces

Joshua, you ate it ALL!  You did so well today and in your last appointments that you got discharged!!  Woo hoo!  She weighed you today (prior to eating all that) and you're 28.7 lbs!  You were 27.5 lbs two weeks ago!  Whoa!  We still have a follow up with GI and pulmonary in the spring but we don't need to go back until then unless there's a problem!  What a blessing!  I'm so proud of you!  Keep it up little man!

We went to Crabtree Mall after and had a little lunch.  Joshua ate some fries but had already eaten with Krista.  ;-)  Grace had a 4 piece chicken nugget meal with fries and only left a half a piece of nugget.  ;-)

By 1pm we were in Cary for the preschool meeting.  The meeting lasted until 2:45pm!  Ugh!  Basically, Joshua is eligible for services under Wake County.  So, they will transition him to a speech therapist in the Wake County School system once he turns 3 (next week!).  Since he'll be in the 'school system' the services can't be in the home so I'll have to take you little man.  But, we may still be able to keep Quinn too.  I'm not positive.  I'm now waiting for a phonecall from them to see where they want to place you.  You two played nicely together during the meeting despite the length of it.  You both had poopy diapers while there so I had to change you all during the meeting.  :-P

We were home by 3:30pm and you both fell asleep in the van.  You continued napping as I brought you inside on the couches.  I made my lunches for work this week as you all snoozed, but Grace ended up waking pretty early.

At 4:30pm Quinn came over for speech therapy .... I had to wake Joshua.  You did well little man!  We're still working on the 't' ending sound and also working on the 'p' ending sound.  Grace, you said the word 'tunnel' while you all were playing! 

Oh, I forgot to mention something from last week's OB appointment.  My iron levels were fine and I have no gestational diabetes from when they drew my blood!  Woo hoo!

Daddy came home a little early with Uncle Brennan.  We all packed up and headed to a visitation in Knightdale.  Grandpa Mike's uncle passed away and the funeral is tomorrow.  You two got to meet some extended family on Grandpa Mike's side of the family.  We ate dinner with Grandpa Mike, Mimi, and Uncle Brennan.  Joshua, you ate a whole bowl of mac and cheese!  Grace, you noodled around and ate a little, but you were also tired since you didn't nap as long. 

We got home a little after 8pm.  I was certainly tired from a busy day.  :-P  We got you all ready for bed and called it a night.  ;-)

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
