A Few Updates and some weekend pictures!

Peter wasn't feeling well this morning so he and Annie are hanging at home in their pajamas today - Annie loves having a playmate and Peter has been fabulous!

Molly and Annie had their check-ups yesterday for their birthdays and both did great! We saw a new pediatrician in our practice, Dr. Wresenski for the first time and the girls loved her. Molly has always really liked Dr. Luxemburg but since she is getting a bit modest we decided to switch to a female doctor that she could talk to about "girl things". The vital stats are as follows:

Molly 69 pounds, 49 inches 95th percentile for both

90/68 blood pressure 96 heartrate - she was a bit nervous!

She did great and verified with the doctor that I am not lying when I tell her that her teeth will fall out if she does not brush three times a day and drink her milk. I love being able to blame everything on the pediatrician! Molly got her flu shot and we did a treatment plan for her asthma since the season is now upon us. Hopefully we won't need it but if we do the pediatrician will already know what our preferences are for treatment options (No steriods unless necessary!)

Annie 22 pounds 8 ounces, 30 1/2 inches 95th percentile for height and 70th for weight

Both ears have fluid but no infection so we are going back in a few weeks to check in on the fluid accumulation. Annie got 5 shots including a flu shot and screamed her head off! She looks great and was impressive on the gross motor scale - that's our girl! So all three kids are done with their yearly visits and now we just have to get Peter in for his flu shot. I got mine and Bob is already scheduled - we always get them because of Molly but apparently with a one year old, newborn and kid with asthma in the house we are at the top of the priority list this year!

As we left we were making Annie's 15 month and 18 month appointments and for the sake of not being there every week we scheduled Nola for her first three appointments to coincide with Annie's - I can't believe she is almost here - I can't wait to get her in my arms.

My 2 sleeper babies hanging out today!

Pete is feeling better tonight and ready for school tomorrow! I'm putting out another request for prayers. Annie's babysitter and a dear friend lost her father in a weird accident yesterday at his job. Carrie and her family have been through a great deal of loss and illness over the last year and our hearts are breaking for her tonight.

GNM - ILY!

PS - I almost forgot our Nola update - we had an ultrasound and NST today and Nola looked beautiful - big and healthy - heartrate at 146, moving like crazy and reactive for all 20 minutes! OB's decided that I will deliver by c-section no matter what so the regular delivery is off the table - no big deal as long as Nola is healthy and happy when she emerges - no matter where she emerges from! A friend of mine has an aunt who is pretty accurate about using the stars etc to figure out when babies are coming - her prediction today - October 28th - works for me!
