Check out our handsome 4 year old Tiger’s spring school photo! Looking sharp!

We had a typical spring week this week – me working lots of hours with the spring rush. Finn went on some fun adventures with Debbie, including the Franklin Park Conservatory. He also made cool artwork at home and at school. Flag football was fun and the weather was brisk! And Finn won the sportsmanship medal this week for demonstrating good determination! Yay Finn!  My entire pregnancy it seems this baby has been off to the right side of my body! When I have braxton hicks contractions it is SO obvious that my belly is lopsided! I had yet another non-stress test this week. It went well but it took longer than it has been as he was sleeping. The nurse used a buzzer on my belly to wake him up, lol! There were a couple of “dips” in his heart rate so they did an ultrasound. Sometimes the dips are perfectly fine/normal for the baby and other times they can indicate low fluid.  The ultrasound went well and my fluid level is just fine. And the technician said she checked and the cord isn’t around his neck (that’s a frequent concern of mine and most moms to be at this stage I guess!).  Brutus went to the vet on Saturday as he can’t seem to kick this ear infection that he’s basically had on and off since we’ve had him.  We got a new med that hopefully will do the trick.  He now weighs 88 pounds!! A small pony, right? And speaking of Brutus, one night this week at bedtime we couldn’t find him anywhere. After looking everywhere up and down stairs Kevin went in to Finn’s room and discovered we had left him in there.  He was actually behind the chair and Finn had taken a pillow and some lovies back there and was sleeping on him. Completely asleep.  It was pretty cute.  One night this week I had a lot of regular contractions and I got kind of nervous that it could be actual labor!! So, along with doing our first load of baby clothes in the washer I had Kevin take this photo of me and Finn to have before this baby arrives – just in case!And how can it be that this was 3 years ago already. Whew. I wish life had a pause button.
