4 More Days

Filed under: Daily Life — Christine at 1:09 pm on Friday, August 15, 2008

Four more days until school starts! We got them all registered on Tuesday. Dane wasn’t sure he wanted to leave his class he was having so much fun!

My birthday was great - I enjoyed my pregnancy massage and pedicure. Dinner with friends was great as well.

The day after my birthday Dane came down with the flu. I was just glad he waited until after my fun day. It was just a 24 hour thing. Then Wednesday night Christian came down with it. So far no one else has got it. With any luck Ryan won’t get it tonight because…

Ryan is having his first sleepover tonight to celebrate his birthday. He invited four friends but only two can come. They aren’t starting until after football - so around 8:00. They plan to have a campfire with hot dogs and Smores. Then they plan to play video games until I make them go to bed at midnight. He of course is very excited.

Football is keeping us busy every evening. They have been going until almost 8:00 p.m. every night when it starts to get dark, so about 2 1/2 hours of practice a night! That will go down to 3 nights a week after school starts, but I think the first week of school they are practicing every night since some schools haven’t started and they have their first game the following weekend. That is going to be a LONG week - next week! I am sure Ryan will be exhausted by the weekend.

Wednesday Dane had his school check-up and I had my pregnancy check-up - still measuring big! I was measuring 36 weeks and I’m only 31 weeks… So on the 25th I go in for an ultrasound to see how big she is really getting! Her kicks definitely feel big! I also had sugar in my urine again, so I have to prick my finger and test my blood glucose levels once every day 2 hours after a meal until my next appointment - fun fun! So far they have been fine and after reading this article http://www.drspock.com/faq/0,1511,9606,00.html I’m not too concerned. This doctor just seems to be on the extra cautious side, which is probably good, but I’m not really used to that after using a midwife for the last 3. Other than that, everything seems to be going well.

I’m off to clean up a bit for the party before we leave for football.

Thank you for the update, do hope Ryan’s over nighter is as great as he wanted, & he has a whole week till his Birthday!!
I can remember when we waited for the phone call from you telling us that he was born , while we were waiting at Randy’s till time for Gail to take us to the airport to go see him! Semms like yesterday!! You will have to tell Ryan how proud we are of him, he is going to be 8, in the 3rd grade, playing football & we know how good he is with his school work, that’s a lot of stuff going on in his life right now and he is in our prayers, in case he needs a wee bit of help!! We love you Ryan, isn’t it fun to be 8?!! love Gramma
