3 Appointments


Dearest Angels~

Grace, you slept with Joshua in his bed until 6am this morning!  Joshua slept in his bed until I had to wake him to get ready for the day!  Whoa!  Big girl and big boy!  I did secretly miss my little roomie, but it was nice that she was able to sleep in her own room.  We'll have to get more serious about moving people people baby biscuit will be in our room in a bassinet for a while.  So, it'll start to get really crowded in there unless you all learn to sleep in your beds.  :-P

We had a pretty busy day today.  You both had pediatrician appointments this morning and then baby biscuit and I had an OB appointment in the afternoon.

You two were first though.  Your appointments this morning were at 9:30am.  We got there a little early to update paperwork.  Joshua, this was your 3 year check up.  Grace, this was your 18 month check up (even though you're a little older than that).  We didn't leave until 11:15am.  Needless to say, they were running late .... oh lovely!  :-P

Joshua, you weighed in at 28.5 lbs and you're 36 inches tall.  Woo hoo!  You're a yard!  They did a little eye test on you and you passed.  You had to pick out shapes on the board instead of letters .... an apple, a house, and an umbrella.  Grace, you're 22.5 lbs and 33 inches tall.  You're only in the 10th percentile with weight (which is where you've been hovering for a long time), but you're 75th percentile in height!  You obviously get that from me!  ;-)  You're not that much shorter than your brother!  You got two shots today (Hep A and flu) so you were grumpy.  Plus, you had a poopy diaper while there.  :-P  Joshua, you got no shots so you were quite playful.  Joshua's not due back until his 4 year check up and Grace isn't due back until her 2 year check up.  Of course, we'll be there sooner for baby biscuit appointments come december.  ;-)

We were home by lunch but neither of you ate a lot.  Grace was still grumpy from her shots so I didn't push it.  Joshua, you were put in time out since you bit Grace on the shoulder.  I thought we were done with biting?

We didn't have a lot of time to rest until we headed back out the door for baby biscuit's OB appointment.  Since we're now over 32 weeks gestation, I have to monitor her kick count.  I need to make sure she kicking at least 7 times in two hours each day.  If she's anything like Grace was, she won't have a problem.  ;-)  My weight jumped to 164.4 lbs (oh my!) and there was no protein in the urine.  My blood pressure was 110/68 and biscuit's fetal heart rate was 142.  You two played nicely in the room as we were being examined.  You two stopped and looked up as we all heard biscuit's heart rate!  So cool!  You two got to hear your baby sister! 

Our uterine height is measuring 34cm.  The OB today was guessing biscuit will be bigger than Grace was when born.  Hummm .... we're going to get even bigger?  Oh dear!  

I was so proud of you two during the appointment.  You all were on your best behavior and we were in and out in about 15 minutes.  Everyone thought you two were so cute!  :-)

Once home we had story time.  I read you all 4 books and then we rested.  Joshua played with my hair until he fell asleep.  You two were napping by 2:45pm.  I read and laid down as you all napped.

Daddy was home a little early.  We made bacon and pancakes for dinner.  Then we played until bedtime.  :-)

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
