Holy crow, Batman! 36 weeks today! Only 29 days until my due date! *does a little dance* This pregnancy has flown by and we are so close to meeting our daughter! MEEP!
This week is SUPER busy, and thankfully one day of business is done. We traveled to St Louis yesterday for my youngest's clubfoot check up at Shriner's. NO RELAPSE!! So no recasting! Totally excited about that! When we went in August, we were told his right foot was relapsing, but it turns out that was not the case. The NP we saw this time was great. She said his flexibility is amazing and it's only a relapse if the foot and ankle become inflexible. She also said that it's likely that his foot curves in when he's relaxed because that if what feels most natural and comfortable to him. So it was a relief to hear that. We also made it back in time for my husband and I's appointments. But it turns out we couldn't do them. Apparently they wanted us to fast for 24 hours for the lab work. Um, pretty sure I am not allowed to fast for 24 hours due to the GD. Even if I was allowed, I'm pretty sure we should have been told when we made the appointments that we had to do so. So now we have to call our insurance and see if they will give us an extension on the deadline to have the psychical done. (If we get the annual psychical, it cuts our premiums by more than half.) Urgh.
Tomorrow I have my 36 week check up with my ob, as well as a NST and growth scan. Luckily I found a babysitter for my youngest. (My oldest will be at school.) Thursday is my oldest's psychology appointment to have the formal eval done for adhd, odd, etc. I still need to fill out the tree of paperwork they sent me. Friday evening we have our community Halloween party. (I need to work on my costume, as my oldest really wants me and my husband to dress up with him.) And then Saturday is Halloween. We're doing the balloon release for my first born in honor of her 9th angelversary. As much as I was dreading it a few days ago, I'm feeling better about it now. And it's all because of my husband. We were talking about her last night and he looked at me and told me that even though he is not her biological father, that he considers her his daughter as well. He said he believes that without her, we would not have our 2 sons and, soon, our daughter. He also told me that our children could not be any luckier than they are to have her as their own personal Guardian Angel. He made me cry, but it was a good cry. I feel as if I've been holding it in this year, so it felt nice to let it go.

Glad your husband made you feel better. I'll be thinking of Saturday for your balloon launch. We do this every year for my husbands two cousins that passed away in a tragic accident in July 2013 and it really helps their parents grieve. |

Your DH sound so sweet to think of your angel as his daughter as well. I'll be thinking of you on Saturday as you remember your angel! Glad everything else is going well :) Baby girl will be here before you know it :) |
