We had a good week… no new viruses or infections or strange rashes showed up! The kids are totally back to normal and Chris was only sick for about a day and a half. I’m still recovering, though, for some reason (and I think that reason may be named “Banjo”). Still, a good week.
CareBear started back at school, which is always exciting. They had their first substitute teacher and CareBear celebrated that by running full speed into one of the other kids. She got quite a good bump on the head from that, but his head must be tougher since he didn’t seem any worse for wear.
We had a quick visit with one of my good friends, who came bearing gifts of hand-me-down clothes, movies, toys and books! It’s just like Christmas all over again over here! We’ve watched some “CareBear” movie practically every day since then and CareBear already knows a lot of the lines and songs.
I had my last “regular” OB visit last week. Next time around (in about 3 weeks), I’ll start my weekly “non-stress tests” in addition to the monthly ultrasounds. Being an old, diabetic, pregnant lady gets complicated! Anyway, Banjo is still doing well and the girls are really into hearing the heartbeat.
LiliBee is fascinated by the whole baby thing. She is constantly pulling my shirt up to check on the baby and talk or sing to it. It’s really very cute, except when we’re out and about and I don’t necessarily want to flash everyone… she doesn’t really care how far up she pulls my shirt! (CareBear is at least a little more discreet when she starts sticking her head under my shirt to check on the baby.) LiliBee’s favorite book right now is about a little hippo who learns how to help out when his parents bring home a baby. I hope it’s a good sign for March!
This week is shaping up to have lots of fun visiting! I’m also hopeful that I’ll finally get everything cleaned up from the holiday… getting sick really messed up my house!
