Thoughts

I am so horrible at keeping up this blog. I feel like every time I sit down to write a post, I think it's only been a couple days since the last one, and then realize that it's been a week or more. Things get so hectic and I think and think about so many things to write, but feel like my thoughts are so jumbled who could understand them anyway?!? And, I also think, I don't want my entire blog to be some sob-fest every time you sit down to read it. So, this time, I will instead bore you with other, unimportant findings I have had of late...lucky you, right?

First off, I realized today that the ultrasound that is scheduled in May, is a Wednesday. Who cares, is what you must be thinking. Hold on. I will be 38 1/2 weeks that Wednesday. The exact same day Sahara was born. Weird, isn't it? Both pregnancies I have changed weeks on Fridays. Strange similarities, I think. Although, it could just be me that thinks this is weird.

Second, Sahara had her 21 month check up, (I can't believe she will be two in a few months). Since Ja changed jobs, so did our insurance so we visited a new doctor today. He was nice and easy to talk to, but I do really like our other pediatrician. In August, we can switch Sahara's insurance again and go back to seeing him again. She had to get one shot and a prick on her finger. She did so well. I mean, she screamed and screamed and kept telling me "owie" but after the nurse was finished, she actually said 'thank you.' Who does that? All I can say is that she is one very polite lady! Afterward, we went and bought a couple little kitchen toys and she has been busy cooking all afternoon. As for her measurements, she is 21 pounds, (under 5%). And, I don't really remember her length, I think 31 1/2 inches or maybe 32 1/2 inches, making her around 15% and her head is in the 25%. I was thinking the doctor was going to make a big deal about her being in a low weight percentile, but he didn't. He said that she looked great and was just little. She has been getting a little bit more picky with her food and some days, she doesn't eat very much of anything. But, he said this is normal, so I'm not going to worry about it.

Thirdly, I am getting uncomfortable! On one hand, I am so ready to be done with this pregnancy. On the other hand, if this is all the time I get to spend with Ry, I don't want to be wishing it away and full of complaints.

Fourth thing is I have yet again another doctors appointment tomorrow, which I will be going to alone. :( But, I think it's only measurements and the usual blood pressure, so maybe it won't be that bad. But, if I have to explain to the doctor one more time about what I understand should happen to Ry, I think I really may throttle him! So, maybe your prayers should be for him instead of me tomorrow!!! :)

Fifth, the sun has finally made an appearance here, and I am so happy! It has been the longest, wettest, coldest winter and thus completely depressing. But, like everyone else around me, we are ready for the summer heat! Even though the sun is out, it is only a balmy 56 degrees. We bought a zoo pass and I can't wait to use it as many times as possible. I want to be outside, barefoot, playing with my little lady/ladies!! I am ready to fast forward the next couple months.
