It's been a good, long time since I've posted anything. The Girl is still not really sleeping much, and now she's decided not to eat much either. Her poor mouth! She's drooling, putting her fingers in her mouth, stopped using her num (which is an alright kind-of-thing), and been all around cranky. Fever coming and going and coming again. Thinking it's those second year molars, we've been doing what we can, but just in case I took her to the Dr's office today. Looks like teething, could be a virus (in which case it'll be gone in a few days). Either way we should keep doing what we're doing. It's nice to have our parenting affirmed.
Boy2 goes in for dental work tomorrow. It was scheduled for next Wednesday, but there was a cancellation for tomorrow morning and we could fill it. So that means he will not be allowed to have breakfast in the morning, nor anything to drink. But we'll be bringing along the Leap Pad, so that should ease any grumpiness from hunger. I think he may be a bit nervous or scared because he's been emotional and temperamental all day.
The Boy is doing well. Looking very pale, since he isn't getting much sleep (let's face it: no one is getting much sleep with the Girl howling and yelling the nights away) but he's enjoying school. Tonight for prayers he asked if we could give thanks for his school and his teacher. I thought that was cute. Especially since he was pretty upset this morning when he had to leave to go. He had had a bit of an upset tummy this morning, so I called the school to let them know he wouldn't be going. Ten minutes later he was running and jumping around everywhere! So I emailed his teacher, explained the morning and the reason I was still sending him to school. He was glad he went once he got there, but not so much en route :)
Life has been going on as usual. The Girl is quickly catching up to her brothers in what they can do and what she can do. She is making herself heard and understood. The nurse was amazed at her vocabulary and surprised that she's 18 months already. I know it amazes me no end when I look at the kids and realize just how much time has passed since holding the Boy for the first time in the hospital. So much time, so much growth, so many changes.
And they never cease to amaze me. A few weeks ago, good friends were up from Calgary for their daughter's basketball tournament and we went too (the boys had an absolute BLAST!). But the Saturday, the last game was right at supper, so we left to find a McD's and hurry back. Drove around and around, kinda knowing where we were going, but when we pulled into the parking lot, this little voice from the back seat exclaimed "McDonald's! I'm saved!". It was just so cute,Hubby and I just started laughing!
There are times when I half wonder if there may be a hearing problem with the boys. Then I say something to Hubby in a different room than they are in and their ears perk right up if it's about something they want to hear :) Selective hearing at it's best.
The Girl has started a couple of new phases. She makes a quite adorable (and persistent) cat. She "meows" around, crawling on the floor or on a lap. She's very insistent that she is a cat when she's doing this and will protest loudly until you acknowledge her "kittiness". She has also started "helping". Whenever I do anything in the kitchen, she goes to the table, tries to drag those heavy chairs over, saying alternately "I help" or "need help" depending on if she needs help dragging the chair over. When I change laundry too, she's right there, needing to help put wet clothes in the dryer, or warm clothes back in the hamper. Not so good at the folding yet ;)
Yesterday I did my gestational diabetes screen, so when I see the doctor next week I'll get those results back. Not worried, though. Nothing came up with the others and I'm not really feeling any different this time. My fatigue can easily be explained my my teething toddler who doesn't sleep through the night anymore. That's Hubby's reason too. Last night he slept on the floor in the Girl's room for a few hours. That's what worked for the Boy around this age. Worth a try...
