In case you were wondering....

The last two weeks have been busy so I figured I needed to catch everybody up. Jack went back to the ENT doctor to have his ears checked from surgey. One of his tubes is already blocked so we are treating it with drops the doctor gave us to help move the blockage out. The weather has been pretty decent that the kids have been outside alot without it being too hot. Of course Phil and I have been blessed with a really big oak tree in the back yard that we planted nine years ago. We knew nothing about the tree when we planted it and it has just taken off and has given us great shade in the back yard. Phil decided while the kids were napping he would go to Lowes get a peice of cedar and some rope and we now have two swings hanging from "Bob". For those of you who don't know , we went 8 years not knowing what kind of tree it was that we named it "Bob". This past year it spouted acorns so now it is "Bob the Oak". When Katie woke up from her nap I told her to go outside. As soon as she saw it I don't think three steps touched the deck. She loves it. Jack hasn't quite mastered it yet but when he does there will be a swing waiting for him.
I went to the doctor and he measured my belly and said I was right on track with my due date. We listened to the heartbeat wich was good. Then he checked my lab and discovered that I had way too much protein in my urine that they believe I have an infection of some kind. I was give baby safe drugs and have to go back to the doctor for a re-check. I also was told to drink cranberry juice which I hate so I opted for cran-grape juice. In the past four days I have had 128 oz of juice not including water. Let me just say I hate the bathroom.
Grandma Bacho came to visit us which was nice. She did playdough and took the kids out back while Phil and I went to run errands without little feet. It was really nice. Thanks Grandma!!!!
We appreciate it.
Phil is working like crazy. He was to have the weekend off however, there was a customer emergency that he had to go out at 7:30pm Sat nite getting home at about 10:30pm. He still had to return to the house Sun am at 9. They have at least fixed the customer until they can get parts Monday. I felt bad for the homeowners and I know Phil is exhauseted.
I have a doctors appt in May that will tell us very important things. I have the gesatational diabetes test, and ultrasound. The ultrasound will tell us where the placenta is and if we can have a normal birth or if a c-section will be required. I have never had a positive result on the diabetes test so I am not really concerned.
We hope everyone is doing well and surviving whatever the days are throwing at you. TTFN
