The things kids can do..

Okay, I worked until Midnight last night. When I came in everyone was asleep, so I just slept downstairs so I would not wake anyone. John had to go to work early this AM. He woke me a little as he left at around 5, but I went back to sleep.

At 8 Ian (my 22 month old) was crying so I went up to get him. I could not get in his room. The door was locked from the inside. I tried to jimmy it with a bobby pin,but it would not budge, so I got the screwdriver and took the doorknob off. It came off, but the bolt was still in there and it would not move. I could not undo the hinges because they were on the other side of the door!

The whole time my 4 year old was trying to "help" but was mostly just getting in the way a little.

I could not get in touch with John due to the nature of his job. I could not get in touch with anyone close enough to help me. Everyone I called told me to do what I had already tried to no avail. So I was told to just go ahead and call 911 and have the firemen come out.

Well, I did. They came and they had to use a big hammer on the bolt thingy, they could not budge it either.

So Ian is free now,..but that was so scary, I can't believe he did that! I am not sure how he managed to get locked in. I did not think he had the dexterity to turn that little knob that makes the door lock. Savannah says she did not lock it and then close it. John does not think it was locked when he shut it after putting Ian to be last night. I have no way of knowing because I never went up there last night since I was afraid I would wake everyone up! Who knows what happened...all I know is I am glad he is out.

Lesson learned: No matter how little they are, DO NOT have locks on the door that can lock from the inside! (Especially if your hinges are on the inside of the door!)

John also accidentally knocked one of the suction cups on the screen thingy on the back windows of my car (you know those things you put up so the sun is not in your kids eyes) into the door of the car and now the window will not go back up.

It is raining so the window being down is a bad thing. It is parked in the garage though. Anyways, it keeps me from being able to drive anywhere right now. This afternoon will include picking the kids up and taking them to somewhere to eat, going to the store and getting new doorknobs..one for Ian's room since they had to break it, and one for all the other rooms in the house so it won't happen again!

Also John will have to find a way to fix my window now..he thinks he can do it.

You know some days are better than others..this has just not been one of those days! To top it off I have a horrible headache now that will not go away. I think it is a stress headache. I'll be glad when February gets here...well in some ways I will. I really do not like being in the third trimester much. Although, I do want her to stay in till she is ready to come out. However, I am going from 2-3. It is kind of a scary thought. I know we can do it though! We just have to work on being mentally and physically prepared. Which reminds me..I should be moving more stuff out of her room and closet...

Update

I passed the 3 hour test, barely. However, a pass is a pass!

Everything else is going great. Ian said his first kind of sentence this morning. He said "go..right..now". He wanted to ride in the car.

Both kids are still growing like weeds. It is so hard to believe how big they have gotten some days.

We are really looking forward to the 1st. That is when we have our 4D ultrasound. I will post pictures!

Update

Well, we have officially decided her name will be Caroline (Caro-line) Elizabeth.

I have a new camera and as soon as I get the hang of it I hope to post pictures. The Halloween ones did not turn out very well. Savannah was a kitty-cat and Ian was a lion.

Today I took my 1 hour glucose test. It is a test where you eat nothing and then drink a super sugary drink. Then they test your blood sugar levels to see how they are. My OB wants to see them below 145. (This varies amoung OBS some have a lower cut off). I had a 148. This means I failed. I am not diagnosed with gestational diabetes yet. I have to go back tomorrow and take a 3 hour test. I do the same thing..I do not eat tonight and then I go in tomorrow and drink more of the sugary drink and then wait 3 hours to have my blood drawn. That will determine if I am diagnosed or not. Some people fail the first one and then past the second one, so I can still hope!

Onto more happy news. I will be getting a 4D ultrasound done at the Drs office on Dec 1st. We will have tons of pictures from it, so I hope to be able to post them that afternoon. We are excited! We have never had one of these before..but several friends have and they are really cool. We can't wait to see her!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
