Lil Sis Update

Well, we went to the dr yesterday for the dreaded 1 hour glucose test. The good news is that I didn't blow it out of the water like I did with Ian. My level with him was 223 and with her 143. Unfortunately, I do still have to do the 3 hour one next week since I was borderline with her. Hopefully, I will pass that one like I did with him. I hate that test. I'm an easy stick for blood work but they always bruise the crap out of me and I look like a drug addict. So Perry now has to take the morning off so that he can stay with Ian because no children are allowed at the lab. How do people manage that if they don't have daycare or family or a sitter?

That's our other challenge is finding a sitter for Ian. All of our family is 3 hours away and I am very picky about who will be Ian's sitter or even his lil sister's. I think in today's world you have to be. I have a lot of contacts unfortunately they are all in the Auburn area and no one will come to Tallassee because it is 'too far away'. We run into that with other services as well from Montgomery or Auburn. You would think I lived in Siberia or something. We have a possibility for the summer but no one for the fall. I'm worried that lil sis will make a surprise early appearance and Perry won't be able to be in the OR with me as he is baby sitting Ian or Ian will be at school and we won't have anyone to pick him up. Good grief this is getting stressful just thinking about it.

Oh well, got to get ready to go to Bham for the afternoon. Ian has an eye doctor appt. We may find out if he needs eye surgery today. Hopefully not, but if it will help with him focusing his eyes and stop them crossing and being lazy we will do it. We are hoping that his eyes are part of why he usually holds his head back when he is walking. It seems he has an 'A' pattern to focus his eyes. He leans his head back to focus on some objects.
