Busy month with no planned excursions to speak of!

It’s just been a month of doctor visits upon doctor visits and little else.

Kicked off the month with the Home Depot workshop. Little Man made a cool basketball hoop!

Then, it was labs and OB appointment on post. Apparently, I just missed the cut-off for my glucose test numbers, so I had to schedule a 3 hour test. Needless to say, I wasn’t thrilled.

Thankfully, I passed the 3 hour test without incident. It was just a long boring morning with too many needle sticks. At least I don’t have gestational diabetes! Huzzah.

We rolled into the following week with spring break and our Lowes workshop.

Then, we made a surprise trip to Danville, IL to watch Grandad’s basketball team play their first game in the NJCAA D2 National Tournament.

While they didn’t win and we could only stay for one game, we were still glad to be able to see Nana and Grandad and Little Man enjoyed his first live basketball game. Very much a full circle moment for me.

We capped off the month with our high-risk appointment, a birthday party, and Little Man went to the dentist for his check-up.

Baby Girl is growing right along. She’s measuring in the 59th percentile and is weighing in at 3lbs 12oz. She had a little excess fluid in one of her kidneys, but the nurse reviewing her ultrasound thought that it was likely she just hadn’t emptied her bladder at the time of the scan. Regardless, we start weekly scans in April, so we’ll circle back to that then to see if there’s anything to worry about.

Little Man got invited to his best friend Nolan’s birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. Unfortunately, the Mister had staff duty and couldn’t join us. Still, I think he enjoyed himself. He especially enjoyed the Luigi’s Mansion and Plants vs. Zombies games.

For me, it was a very bittersweet day. I know no matter where we end up after retirement, these boys won’t be in school together much longer.

Little Man’s preschool teacher suggested he have one more year of preschool before heading off to kindergarten. Not because he isn’t smart enough, but because she thought socially and emotionally, he’d be more prepared if we waited. She doesn’t want him to fall through the cracks and start disliking school. The Mister and I are definitely taking that into consideration since he will really be a super young 5 year old in the fall. It will be an easier decision when we know where we will be for sure. Lots to decide!

We rounded out the month with a dental check-up for Little Man. He did great. No cavities and zero concerns from his dentist. Hallelujah he has lots of space for when he starts losing teeth!

April is going to be a very VERY busy month. I redid my dry erase calendar and boy, am I a glutton for punishment. I seem to have booked back to back to back appointments for various things. As I mentioned, we start weekly high-risk appointments on the 8th; there’s a regular OB appointment on my birthday; I scheduled dentist and eye doctor appointments for myself during the week I have tons to do.

Little Man has his egg hunt and family picnic at school, Kindergarten Kickoff at the elementary school we are zoned for (figured it couldn’t hurt to go check things out), and his usual Lowes/Home Depot workshops. We have tickets for the Great Spring Art Hop at Cheekwood again – fingers crossed we have nice weather for it! We should be getting his spring school pictures back very soon.

I seem to forget I am 31, going on 32 weeks pregnant and think I can book all the things. I even have stuff for May scheduled because I’m a little too ambitious.  But, it’s what we do. Go go go.

Until then!
