We had a little celebration here yesterday morning after I told Jillian we were done with the plastic wrap!
We got three poop samples! It only took from Monday to Saturday night to get them, but hey we got them! The first two poop tests came back this weekend as negative. The one was for c-dif which I was pretty positive she did not have and the other was for bacteria which also came back negative. Brent dropped off the third test on his way to work today so we will see what that comes back with. She has still been at the 7ml of laxative twice a day and really she should be pooping all over the place however her poop has gone back to its normal consistency. Her little body just likes to confuse us all!
I am just thankful that we got the three samples. It was a long week here wrapping her butt and it did not make her very happy (and I don't blame her!). The last test we were trying to finish needed to be done within 8 days of starting and I was getting stressed that would not happen so its a huge relief to have it done!
On Friday Jilli and I were having a chill day just attempting to get poop (we did not get any poop Friday). She was not in the best mood so we were kind of laying low. My dad and brother called me and they were 10min from my house playing disc golf and wanted to know if I wanted to join them for lunch. Jilli and I met them for lunch and then we went over to a park to play. I have never seen flying, biting ants before but this park was sure full of them! Jilli still enjoyed it but we did not stay for long (they really thought my dad was tasty!) Jilli had been asking to go to a park and play rocket ship (a few of the parks in Lake Geneva have play rocket ships) so we met Brent after work in Lake Geneva and she played on the rocket ship for a while and then we walked to Pot Belly and got dinner.
Saturday morning I woke up to Jillian yelling for Brent. He had told her the night before that they could play with her new kitchen in the morning and she was like a kid on Christmas morning who could not wait to play with their new toy. She came and laid in bed with us for a while and then she just could not wait any longer so they went down and played kitchen. During the day Saturday we worked on cleaning around the house and a few house projects. Jillian actually took a nap! I went to get the vacuum and turned around and she was asleep on the couch! Saturday afternoon we did maternity pictures in the same park that we did Jillian's. Our friend Jenny took the pictures and Tim made Jillian smile! After pictures my parents met us all at Spechers for dinner (we did pictures in the park next to Spechers). After dinner we all came back here and Jenny edited pictures and the guys had a fire in the back yard. It was a really nice evening!
Sunday morning we had church and then a picnic with our small group at Pets. Jilli loved the pretend log cabin and she even got Brent and I on the teeter totter! Pets holds so many great memories over the years (my parents use to bring me there when I was little, Brent and I met there at a Boy Scout picnic, we had a picnic there the weekend of our wedding and many dates there). Jilli got to try out her new cooling neck band from Caroline. It really helped to keep her cooler (Jillian was full of sweat just from the car ride over and we had the ac on) We were there for a little over 2 hours and Jilli had three times of 15min each were she played at the park, the rest of the time she spent in her stroller coloring or playing iPad. By the end her legs were so tired she could no longer walk. We went over to my parents because while we were at the picnic they took my tires to be balanced because I got them rotated and they were not properly balanced so that needed to get fixed so they helped out by dropping my car off and picking it back up for me. Once we got to my parents Jilli said she was too hot to be outside and needed ice packs to help cool off. Mom and I ran to Kohls looking for nursing tanks but instead found a bunch of 2T t-shirts on clearance for a couple bucks each and she has started to move into some 2T stuff (sometimes 2T stuff is skinnier then 18 or 24 mo stuff so it fits her better). We grabbed some dinner and then headed home. Jilli fell asleep in the car around 8pm. She woke up for a little bit around 9:30 and then again at 10. After 2am she woke up for about an hour and was really upset that she could not go outside and play right then. I am not sure what that was all about because at first she was mad that bees need to be outside so I am thinking she had a bad dream about bees and then all of the sudden it turned into her being mad that we would not take her outside in the middle of the night.
We are getting close in the count down to baby. I have an appointment and ultra sound tomorrow. As I was typing this post I had to take my rings off because my hands must have swelled during the night because all of the sudden my fingers hurt. With Jilli I did not have to take my rings off until the day of delivery and I was hoping it would be the same this time. Its just a sign that we are getting closer to holding our little girl!
