Ending the First Trimester

This week finishes up our first trimester. With that, we've opened the blog to all and started to be more liberal with telling people. Ghee's been feeling good and continues to enjoy the vacation with occasional afternoon naps. This week we spoke to the diabetes nurse at Dr. Brown's office to start setting the schedule for the school year. There will have to be some decisions made. From what she suggested, we'll have appointments every-other week until the 32nd week. Starting the 32nd week we'll have bi-weekly appointments. One will be the blood sugar monitoring and the other will be a stress test. It looks like the 32nd week falls around the first part of December. I'm already working on scheduling the every-other week appointments for first thing (well, 8am) Monday mornings because they don't have afternoon appointments for their diabetes patients. I have to admit I am a tad nervous about how the year will go.
Instead of camping, Philip headed to the farm with me. We visited family and participated in harvest activities. Unfortunately, we missed Friday and the kids by only a few minutes, but had the chance to hang out with Sydney and Blair quite a bit which was so much fun. We had to rush back on Sunday because one of our sprinkler pipes burst in the backyard. Again, we are feeling so lucky to be in a neighborhood where people look out for one another. Fortunately, they had turned off the water and even cleaned up a bit. We are not looking forward to our next water bill!
Lastly, we are excited this week that someone has finally placed an offer on our 'old' house. We have our fingers crossed that all of this will work out and find it rather ironic that it might go to a young couple with the man working in the tech field and the woman just got a new job as a teacher in LWSD. It does have a little bit of 'meant to be' to it.
