Week in Review ~ 2/18


Highlights Edition:

-Toes took Avery's pie pies Sunday in a fairly smooth switch.  Avery napped at Lolli and Poppa's on Saturday with no problems.
-I had two good appointments and was thrilled to make it to 35 weeks.  My blood work and 24-hour urine from the week before were all good.  On Wednesday I was able to see the doctor when she came to town here
-We did nothing special for Valentine's Day.  Avery has carried around her cup filled with cards and suckers all week.
-Avery pooped on the potty again for Jennifer (of course).  She's getting quite a collection of Thomas and friends but doesn't seem any closer to routinely pooping on the potty.
-Avery started with a runny nose and cough much like she had in December.  We started the Claritin and humidifier and hope they do the trick again.  We need her well before Sam arrives.
-I ate a sub and french fries, a Chik-Fil-A combo, a Chik-Fil-A yogurt parfait, and pizza (not in one sitting) with good sugar results.  Granted, I didn't take it after the yogurt parfait, but I was checking it after all the Paula Deen's banana pudding I also ate this week and things were fine.
-So as not to forget Ned, he worked, took care of us girls, and made it another week without going crazy!
-I read The Last Lecture in about a day.
-Things were busy at the house, and I got to get out Saturday and see what took place.
-My blood pressure was super-low all day Saturday, so I rode with Ned to pick Avery up from my parents'.  She didn't know I was coming and seemed like she just could not get enough kisses, cuddles, and hugs from me.  Of all the things I look forward to when bed rest is over, being able to pick her up when she runs to me tops the list.
-Avery managed to pick up about 5 years worth of attitude this week.

I think those are the main points from the week.  Hopefully I'll do better with details this coming week.  I have 2 appointments again, one of which is in Norfolk.  I think by the end of the week or the beginning of next, we'll have a pretty good idea of when we'll become a family of four.  Ned also turns the big 3-0 and gets to celebrate with me in Norfolk.

Those are the cutest pictures! I cannot wait to hear when Sam is joining your family. Hang in there, you are getting so close!

I agree that our situations are SO similar! Except you've been on bed rest a lot longer and seem to have a better attitude about it! I'm SO READY to have this baby already! When do you expect to have Sam? My doctor said she would really like for me to make it to 39 weeks if we end up inducing. So, I've got a few more weeks :/ But I'm PRAYING I'll just go into labor! I'm not currently on any medicine shockingly. If my BP is still up after she's born though, I'm going to be so ready to pop a pill and get up!! I can't wait to hear an update from your appointments this week!
