No News

We went into the doctor on Monday with Macie... She has had a rash on her bottom & nothing was helping so we decided to bring her in. Turns out it's a yeast infection. So he gave her a prescription.... Doctor Monday - CHECK

Macie & I are spending the day at home - she spent the morning at home with daddy so I could go to my baby appt. I went to pick Macie up from daycare yesterday & she looked HORRIBLE! Her lead teacher said they kept wiping her eyes, but they kept getting green. So I called dad & asked what we should do? Made a few phone calls, found out Benson was gone for the day, so we headed into Urgent care. She has the start of a ear infection & some sort of infection in her eye from a cold. He said if it's viral it will take care of itself on it's own & if it's bacterial the meds for her ear infection will take care of it. .... Doctor Tuesday - CHECK

Poor peanut - she looks so rough!!! At about 6:40 last night she looked at me & said "night night mommy" & off she walked to her room. She was able to get some sleep! She doesn't act sick, she is playing great & running around the house happy, but her eyes look horrible!!!

I had my doctors appt this morning - but for some reason she didn't check me? Guess I should have asked why??? That's ok because if I was dialated it would have probably just got me excited for nothing :) I have a feeling we are not going to see this baby until him/her's schedulded date to come out. But that's ok, then we know we are full term & him/her will be as healthy as possible! The heartbeat was 140! I go back next Wednesday & I will post again after.....Doctor Wednesday - CHECK

Hopefully soon we have our healthy baby girl back - We are so ready for spring!!!

Have a great rest of the week!

Our big girl...

Her big girl stool that daddy made to help her reach to "wash" on her own. She also likes to use it to look out the window to see daddy in the backyard.

Kids update

Well we are 36 weeks tomorrow! The baby's heartbeat was 153 & she said my cervix was closed. At 36 weeks with Macie I was thinning & her heartbeat was 149.... so????
Otherwise I am still feeling well - of course starting to get more uncomfortable as the baby grows & then just a common pregnancy issue (just TMI for most people). Otherwise we are so excited for baby Evans to make his/her big arrival! I set up the pack-n-play this last weekend in our room, my bag is pretty much packed & both the "blue" & "pink" diaper bags are packed!

Macie has spent the last 2 nights in her big girl bed & it is going really good!!! Our baby girl isn't a baby anymore :( I will try & get some pictures & post them soon. She hasn't been in a highchair for at least a month now (she is in a booster at the table)... She loves to be independent & "wash" so daddy made her a little stool so she can reach the sink in the bathroom... and then the big move into the new bed... I can't believe how much she is changing. She has so much to say - if only we could understand half of what she was saying sometimes :)

I go back to the doctor again next Wednesday so I will update again then!

Kids Appointments

Macie had her 15 month appointment yesterday & Dr. Benson said she is doing great! Her stats were - Height is 32.5" (96%), Weight is 24.8# (79%) & Head is 19" (97%)
She is starting to say more & more words:
*Daddy
*Momma
*Sock
*Milk
*Juice
*Night, Night
*Blanket
*Bye, Bye
*Baby
*Maggie
*Some family/friends/teachers names
**I'm sure I am forgetting some

We have had a couple of rough mornings at daycare starting the toddler room, but they are getting better. Monday she broke my heart as I tried to walk away & all I could hear was my baby crying "momma, momma". When we get there in the morning she is usually one of the 1st toddlers there. They also combine the toddler kids & preschool kids & start out in the preschool room until there are enough toddlers to go into their own room. I think it's just overwhelming to her all the "big" preschoolers, staff that she is still getting to know & a room she normally doesn't play in. Like I said Monday was really hard, Tuesday she only cried until I got to the double doors to leave school & this morning she was done crying before I got to the door to leave her room. She is always playing & having so much fun when I come to pick her up, I think it's just getting started in the morning.

Macie has had 3 solid diapers in 24 hours - ya! Therefor we are leaving her off dairy for another week & then slowly we will bring it back in. Dr. Benson said this happens & it is usually "short lived" & once it's introduced back in there are no problems - so hopefully that's the case for us!

Baby Evans also had his/her 34 week check-up & everything looked great! 34 weeks is huge because anything before that baby & I would have been sent to the cities for delivery. She measured me & said right now the baby is about 5 pounds but will grow a lot from here on out. She said his/her head is definately down & I will probably start to get more & more uncomfortable. Heart beat was 160 & come back in 2 weeks.
