17 days

We are down to 17 days!!! and I do belive we now have an official baby name. Thank goodness! Now I can relax a bit and stop staying up late to name her. She also has her crib and changing table up and ready. I'm starting to feel a bit more prepared for her arrival. Though, I do want her to patiently wait 17 more days! I'm not that ready yet! lol.  I had my 37 week appt on Friday and I was still measuring 34 weeks. She just keeps dropping further and further down! Her fluid is staying up at a safe level and will be checked again on Friday just to make sure. She is doing great in there though! I am fairly comfortable for being so close to the end. I am not really sleeping at night, but that's expected. I have been very blessed though with 3 fairly easy pregnancies!! So no complaints from me :)

Kinsey's bloodwork all came back normal- so she definitely had or has nothing serious going on. Praise the LORD! Still not sure what the deal was with the bruises, but I'm just checking her daily to watch for more. She act and sleeps normal, so hopefully it was a fluke situation and it won't come up again.

Ethan seems to be going through a growth spurt. He is sleepy all day and has taken a nap voluntarily for the 3rd day in a row now. He also slept 12 hours straight in his own bed last night- he normally comes to crawl in bed with me around 1 am or so. He's hasn't been himself, he isn't wanting to go outside and play, wanted to leave the zoo and Grandpa's house yesterday. I am hoping once he is done with his growth spurt and not so sleepy he will return to his normal self. Praying its nothing else!

36 weeks! Kiddo updates!

Our little girl weighed about 5 lbs 7 oz a week ago, so she may be getting closer to 6 lbs now! Her fluid was down to a 5 which is very low, but on the last check it was up to a 10!!!! I am getting it checked again on Friday to make sure its staying up high enough.  We still have not decided on a name- and probably won't decide for sure until we meet her. I put her crib up today in Ethan's room, because I just HAD to have a spot just for her. Ethan and Kinsey play in there a lot, but hopefully there won't be any major issues. She will have her bassinet in our room for a month or two anyways.

Kinsey has some unusual spots or bruises- but we had bloodwork and the results were all normal! So at least she has nothing serious going on. Still very unsure why they were there or how they got to be so perfectly round. The dr said "she must have slept on something" yeah right!! Hopefully though, it really is nothing and it won't happen again. She also had her 18 month check up this month. She is 22 lbs and 31.5 inches long. She is doing really well physically and mentally. She seems to really understand quite a bit and she knows a ton of words! She really impresses us!

Ethan is back to having night terrors about twice a week. He had them a lot a few months ago, but then had a break where he wasn't having them at all. They have been lasting anywhere from 2 minutes up to 20 minutes. Its so hard to be there when he is having one, because all I want to do is comfort him and I can't. He has no idea I am there and if I try to talk to him he gets more mad (even though he's asleep).  So I just have to wait it out. Right now I am putting Chamomille drops in his milk in the afternoon and evening. They are supposed to be great for night terrors since they relax the nervous system. So far so good- but he will have to take them a bit longer to really know for sure. Otherwise- he is doing pretty well. He is super smart- but has some behavioral issues. He is of course 3- and a boy!! But I do think some of his behavioral problems are more then an age thing- so Im trying to work on it the best I know how. I just pray he becomes a very respectful well mannered young man one day!
