Latest Scan

I had a follow up scan last Thursday. These pictures are the best from that appointment. The tech was all business, so they aren't the greatest. You can see that the baby is growing. From measurements taken during the scan, the baby is estimated to weigh 2 lbs 6 oz. The baby has almost tripled in size in the last month!! Fortunately, the weight estimate is in-line with the gestational age.

Today, I had a regular doctor's appointment. Again, everything is fine. My weight is also on track which is good. During this appointment, I had the glucose tolerance test. This test involves drinking a very sugary drink (mine was like uncarbonated, syrupy sunkist - kind of gross). Then you wait an hour and have blood taken for analysis to see how well your body processes sugar. Hopefully, results come back fine - otherwise, there's a follow on test that takes three hours and multiple servings of yucky sunkist.

The craziest thing about this appointment was that I had to complete pre-registration form for the hospital. We're starting to get close. I'm realizing that the next step is delivering this baby - an idea that kind of freaks me out. I'm trying to take it all in stride.

Called up

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Veritable Dutch Wonderland

Mother's Day weekend, we planned a little trip out of NYC. We headed to Lancaster, PA - close enough for a night away, but far enough away to feel very different than NYC. The weekend was a lot of fun (and honestly a lot of work). All in all, the boys did well. Highlights below: Dutch Wonderland Lancaster is home to several tourist things. We picked one: Dutch Wonderland family amusement park. My cynical self really doubted that we'd enjoy this experience. I was worried that it would be cheesy. But I was wrong. Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
