Three Appointments

Dearest Precious Gifts~

Baby biscuit and I had an early OB appointment this morning.  So, Gigi and Uncle James came over at 8am to watch you two.  You all were eating breakfast when they came over.  :-)

The appointment went well.  We'll be 37 weeks gestation tomorrow.  Here are the usual stats:
Weight - 167
Blood pressure - 110/80
Baby biscuit fetal heart rate - 150
Uterine height - 38cm
No protein in urine
No change - cervix closed, no dilating
 

The doctor said we can stay 50% effaced for weeks, or can go quicker.  So, we're still up in the air if we'll make it to the scheduled 12/12/12 date.  If we start having contractions, or if our water breaks, I'm not suppose to eat or drink anything and to call them right away.  So, we'll see!  ;-)

I was back home by 9am.  You all were playing Wii games.  You both had runny noses so I gave you some more medicine this morning.  Grace, you were curled up with Gigi.  :-)

Everyone ate their snacks.  Joshua had his applesauce and Grace had her yogurt.  Then, you two played with Gigi and Uncle James as I cleaned the kitchen.  I picked up some McDonald's for lunch, but they ended up not giving us one of our kids meals.  Ugh.  We made do though and you two still ate well.  Grace, you got cranky though. 

Uncle James and Gigi helped me move one of the second row seats from the van into the house.  This will make an easier access to the third row seating where you all now have your car seats.  Gigi then took Grace with her and Uncle James so she would fall asleep.  Joshua, you and I stayed here since Quinn changed our appointment time to an earlier appointment. 

You did well little man with Quinn!  You did all your words and you put the words on a turkey.  Then, you got to color it for Thanksgiving.  :-)

Then, you and I loaded up to go to speech therapy with Gloria!  Busy busy!  You did well again, though at this point you were getting tired.  Our homework is to concentrate on the 'h' sound.  We have the rest of the week off from appointments because of the holiday.  

You and I then headed to Gigi's house to pick up Grace.  Joshua, you fell asleep on the ride there, but woke once we got to Gigi's.  So, you two had snacks around 4:30pm.  We got to visit with Gigi, Uncle James, and Grandpa Jim.  You two played with toys and played on Gigi's piano, drums, and 'music bells' (her chimes).  ;-)

We made it home after 6pm and I quickly tried to put dinner on the table for you two.  Daddy didn't get home until 7pm.  Everyone had a busy day!  We had just enough time to eat, take a shower (me), and then relax upstairs for another UNC basketball game.  We played poorly for the first half.  So, we all got ready got bed at half time.  The second half was closer, but we still lost.  Oh well.  We'll play for third place in the tournament tomorrow evening. 

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
