Pajama Day


Dearest Precious Angels~

No one really slept last night.  And, now my throat hurts as well.  :-P  Joshua, you threw up a little around 6:20am so daddy put you in the tub at 6:30am.  I stripped your bed and ran the laundry.  We gave everyone medicine and Vicks, changed your diapers, and put you all back in clean pajamas, and were downstairs by 7am.  I canceled your speech therapy appointment with Gloria little man.  We also canceled yesterday's with Quinn since you haven't been well.  Neither of you two ate a lot for breakfast, but at least you all were smiling and not grumpy.  :-P

By 7:30am, we were upstairs watching some Mickey Mouse.  Uncle James was here at 8am since I had an 8:30am baby biscuit appointment with the OB.  Overall the appointment went well.  We're over 36 weeks now (37 is considered 'full term').  My weight is 167 lbs, we had no protein, blood pressure was 112/60, and our uterine height is 37cm.  Baby biscuit, your fetal heart rate is 150.

We're now on weekly appointments with cervical checks.  Baby biscuit, your head is down, we have no dilating, and the cervix is closed.  But, Dr. Rush said that we're 50% effaced, so the cervix is thinning and stretching even though dilating has not started.  She's not sure if we'll make it to the 12th or not.  We didn't have any effacing with Grace, but Dr. Rush said it isn't uncommon since this is our third pregnancy for things to be going faster.  We could stay this way for a while, or go faster.  So, we just have to watch out for contractions or water breaking just in case!  Hopefully we make it, but I contacted Dr. Rickert (the other dentist I work with) just in case we go early.  Keep praying for little sister!  :-)  Our next OB appointment is tuesday.

I made a quick trip to the grocery store for cough drops and pizza for lunch.  I was home by 9am and Grace was resting on Uncle James as you two were watching cartoons.  You all had some cheerios as a snack around 10am and it was nice to see you all eating more.  And, we saw two deer in the backyard!

By 11am, we were upstairs playing.  I put you all in some new clothes since you all had been sneezing so much, clean diapers, and we did another round of medicine.  Grace, you napped during lunch and Joshua was napping by 1pm (Uncle James was back home).  Grace, you woke up as Joshua was napping and sat next to me on the couch.  Once you got hungry, we ate some crackers together.  Joshua, you joined us when you woke. 

Then we watched some more Mickey Mouse to relax.  Daddy brought home some dinner .... chicken sandwiches and nuggets.  Grace didn't eat much.  You two still weren't feeling well.  My nose was runny all day too with a sore throat.  I hope this passes soon!  Everyone had some more medicine before bedtime.

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
