So I was really nervous last night and this morning... I don't know why it hasn't been all month... maybe those years of craming for tests... but we had the second ultrasound to check on Evelyn's heart. She's okay! I would have taken her with or without heart problems, but what a blessing in her life to have physical health and what a blessing in ours not to have the stress and financial strain that health problems create. She looks really good actually... she's grown a ton... now she's 5 days ahead instead of 4 days behind... despite all the flu and colds that have been going around our house. And a comforting thought on my part... the tech was kind of laughing because she's laying sideways in me instead of up and down... that explains in part why I don't have the "pregnancy belly" but instead have a "pregnancy tube". Silly Evelyn...
While I'm writing I'm listening to my kids that are supposed to be napping... instead they're in there singing and probably not even in bed anymore. On the one hand... if they'd just nap we could do stuff together... on the other hand... if they're happy without my undivided attention that's okay with me.
Thank you mom for watching kids for me and thank you to your boss for letting you watch them during your shift! I was trying to explain to Ada that they were taking pictures of the baby's heart to see if it was sick or if she was not... when I told Ada afterwards that the baby's heart wasn't sick she just smiled and said, "Then I'll get to hold her and rock her and feed her like this!" I love how excited she is for her sister! And I love that the last two days Sammy has been ALOT less clingy and just generally happier to let me do things like go to the bathroom and shower on my own. Thank you Sammy!
