Eye Doctor for Kindergarten

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great week! This past Friday, I took Marleigh to get a physical from her pediatrician for kindergarten. Today, I had to take her to the eye doctor to have her eyes checked. She is so funny! She has a phobia about doctors-don't we all. She is so nervous as we waited in the waiting room-asking me all kinds of questions. Am I going to get a shot? What is he going to do?

So we get back to the room and the nurse comes in. Marleigh said, "I thought you were going to be a boy not a girl!" The nurse laughed and explained. Then she left and Dr. Bob came in. He examined her eyes, which were 20/20. Thank you, Lord! She didn't take after her mother there! She told him-you have gray hair like my grandpa. He about lost it. It was so funny. Leave it up to my child to remind someone how old they look.

It is so hard to believe that she is starting kindergarten this fall. I can't believe it. She is going to go to the school that I teach at, so she is not going to be able to get away with much. I feel sorry for teacher's children. Somehow, they have to live up to and act better than the norm.

Update on Pregnancy:

I went to the doctor this past Thursday. My blood pressure was down, which the doc was glad to see. I still have some swelling, as to be expected in this stage of my pregnancy, so he says. I go back this Thursday. Hopefully, he will be able to tell me more about when he thinks Milly will want to make her way into the world.

I have a lot going through my mind about labor, delivery, coming home, making time for 2, making sure that Marleigh feels just as or if not more important than before. All of these thoughts are streaming through my head and sometimes keep me up at night. Please pray, as I have asked before, that this transition will be easy for all.

Have a blessed and great week!

Live, Laugh, Love
