It's Spring Break... After All
















Even though I am at home full time, I decided to take advantage of Honey being home from school for a week. He has taken Gabi to therapy this week and I've taken the time to enjoy the blissful silence and put my swollen feet up. Today, we saw the perinatologist. I have gained 5 pounds since my last visit 2 weeks ago! Whoo Hoo! We got measurements and baby Gracie is looking good! 2 pounds and 8 ounces. So far so good. At this point, he doesn't see anything that points to a premature delivery but I am only 26 weeks and anything could happen between now and then since I have a history of premature deliveries.
Gabi had a weight check today. She has hit a plateau of 27 pounds, she's almost 28 now. The feeding therapy is going okay. Hard to really get a good feel fo it since she is so full from her tube feedings. GiGi is really trying to make sure that we don't forget her in the shuffle. She knows the baby is coming and she is clinging hard for Mommy and Daddy.
We've been doing a lot of special things this week. Saturday, I took the girls to have pedicures! They loved that. Of course, GiGi had to mess hers up no sooner than they were finished. Gabi, being the pretty girl she is wouldn't put on shoes for the rest of the day for fear she would ruin them. Monday after therapy, we went to the park on the riverfront. It was so good to see Gabi run and play. GiGi had a ball! She climbed hills, ladders, did some rock climbing and made me a nervous wreck on the slide. She came down face first and landed on her head and her neck was bent backwards! That was it, it was time to go! We have 2 more days to go for this break. Wonder what we'll do before the week is over? This is also the first spring break that Honey and I haven't gotten on each other's nerves. Well, the first spring break was the week of our wedding. The 2nd spring break we had a new baby. 3rd spring break we found out we were having a girl and last year we drove each other crazy. This year, we've been out to eat and just hung out. The calm before the storm. Soon there will be 3 little girls under the age of 5... Uh Oh!
