I have been sitting here trying to think of what to write and call this blog post. I can see how many ppl read the posts..the last 2 pics and all sadden me..as it was 9 and 7 people..compared to the 40-80 plus views I once had. Everyone either does not have the time..or is bored I guess..Saddens me..and still for my family who is far away..I write.
Yesterday we went for our 35wk appointment..or 37..who knows lol...dates right! Everything is going great! Blood, weight, size and position. I even had my Strep swab done for me this time by a medical student. Which is completely a different experience than we have gone through before. Previously I have had to swab myself each time at the specialist. I am hoping it turns up negative..as I was positive with E and that means I have to be given antibiotics before the baby is born during labor in the hospital. We met a different doctor from the PIPC team yesterday since ours does the Wednesday Morning appointments and they are only open 2 days this week. We go back on New Years Eve Day next week.
We still do not know the sex and will not until it is born..Makes it interesting for the bags I still have not packed and getting things ready again. I will definitely have to bring neutral and both gender sleepers to the hospital. E calls the baby..small B in mama's Tum. Just think of it as a huge surprise!!! We really do not know when this baby will come or the gender..haha. Makes it harder to prepare especially around the holidays, E's birthday and trying to sell our house at the same time. Anyone want to buy a townhouse???
Tomorrow I will have a 3 year old! Time has really gone by fast. Hard to believe that 3 years ago today I started to go into labor thinking it was braxton hicks and went into the hospital at 12:30 am to have her at 5:07am Christmas Day Morning. She amazes us each day. She is smart and creative and learning so much right in front of our eyes. Our little Rainbow baby..who is now a Threenager.
O is well a TornadO! He is dumping constantly..for fun..not to play. We are always running into something. The boy needs a helmet 24/7. Last week he split his chin open on our bathtub. I for sure thought he was going to need stitches to stop it from bleeding. You know the phase where they appear drunk when they are healthy..but then you add on the unbalancing of teething and a head cold. Makes for a fun day or in this case month in our house. Our little parrot is becoming quite the talker and man does he have a fun personality. However the drama of our threenager has been watched and copied by our 17 month old O and he should be put into acting. Perfection of the lip pout here we come. Especially noticed when he does not get his own way or is told no.
Tonight our elf Shimmer is flying back to the North Pole. Santa comes tonight and tomorrow is E's birthday. We are having a Frozen party for her this Saturday with a few friends and Family. We are so blessed to have a some quality daddy time with my DH since he has been working crazy hours..for his work and has not had holidays since well 2 summers it seems or Christmas. Family time here we come. This past Sunday..besides our showing for the house we got to have a unplanned surprise Christmas Gathering with my Brothers Family, my Parents and our friend Holly. We are so thankful and blessed. We are sticking close to home considering what happened with the past two births..E was 2 weeks early and O 3 weeks early. If the original date is right who knows when this baby will make the grande debut. Could even be New Years!
I hope you all have a amazing Christmas spent with Family and Friends. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I may post after E's party...since we are doing Frozen and all!!!
Love to all The Brants.
