We've had a busy few months since I last updated this thing. First, we had a grand time the rest of March with a quick trip to DC to see our sisters when Rick's mom came out to visit. It was a really quick turnaround trip. We went to the zoo, and enjoyed Easter with Sarah and Maria and Scott.
During Logan's well check I expressed my concern over his snoring at night. For the last year, he would wake up randomly, screaming and crying and then go back to sleep. His pediatrician said that his tonsils were huge, so she referred us to the base ENT who very quickly got us into an appointment and informed us that the tonsils and adenoids would need to come out. Just a week or so after that we discovered a nasty infected boil on Logan's finger that had to be lanced in the ER and he had to have a round of antibiotics to take care of the infection. Well, after that trip to the ER, the next week Rick and I took him to the hospital where he had his surgery. The base did such a great job of taking care of him. We were there all day. The two week recovery was not fun, but he bounced back so quickly. It's amazing how much he's changed since he's had his tonsils taken out. He has had no issues with potty training now, you can understand him a lot clearer and no more sleeping issues.
In April, Evan had the cutest kindergarten performance. They sung about bugs and had the cutest little dances. May was a pretty busy month as well. Evan ended up in the ER this time because he fell on the kitchen floor, smacking his glasses against his eyebrow line pretty hard. He had to get stitches, which he was not happy about of course. The rest of the school year passed by quickly. I can't believe how much he's grown and how good he is at school stuff. He does so well with math and reading, and his natural curiosity is just growing more everyday.
June was a busy month as well. I've been doing pretty well with my pregnancy, but wanted to do a bunch of stuff with the kids to try and keep them busy since we were going to be stuck inside for a few weeks after I gave birth. We went to splash pads and parks with friends, and enjoyed our time outside as much as possible. We also are doing swim lessons this summer to try and keep the kids occupied. I'm also thinking of signing the boys up for soccer this fall, if I feel brave. Of course, Rick will be knee deep in his research and thesis work at that time, so who knows if I will feel like doing that or not.
In June, Evan had to get his eyes dilated to see if there were any potential issues. Poor boy's right eye is so much weaker than the left eye. Doctor told us that we needed to patch his left eye to give the right exercise to become stronger. He said that most kids eyes stop developing by the time that they are 7 or 8 which kind of freaked me out since he's 7 in just a few months. So far we can tell that he's doing pretty well. His right eye seems to straighten a lot easier than it used to. He's been staying busy this summer with his ABA therapy, swim and Speech/OT.
I started measuring big this pregnancy at about 28 weeks, so they wanted an ultrasound at 30 weeks. At 30 weeks he was apparently over 4 lbs already, and he just kept getting bigger. I was a little alarmed because I've only had babies 7 lbs 3 oz or smaller. One of the doctors took pity on me and suggested that I get induced on July 5, when I was 39 weeks pregnant. I agreed, even though I had some reservations. I definitely prefer to keep them in as long as possible and try to get them to come out on their own. So, we had a quiet Fourth of July since I went into the hospital late that night to get started on my induction.
