Almost Done!

So today is April 8 which means there are only 7 more days left of the tax season!! I only have to work maybe 5 more since I don't work on Sat or Sun. Might work this Sat though if my co worker decides she wants it off! :) I'm actually looking forward to being done! I love my job, but I really can't wait to be home with the kids again.

Other than that, nothing really exciting going on. Wishing the weather would finally get nicer. We had a few days of being really nice and now it's crap! Welcome to NW Indiana! It sucks! Sophia is really getting antsy about wanting to play outside. I don't blame her!

OMG..I just realized that we are now down to only 19 days until we do the March for Babies for the march of dimes! I finally found a place that will do our shirts for us fairly inexpensive. :) YIPPIE! Professional shirts! :) YAY us! Go team!

And now a post from the youngest Kinker

The Results are in

Finally got the results of my 2nd blood tests. I have to take iron tablets 3 times a day for 3 months. Then they will retest my blood to see if it's doing anything. They also had the results of my urine culture. I had a little e coli show up but since I took the antibiotics, it should be gone. They are going to let the urologist follow up on that part.

I'm really hoping by taking the iron that I'll get my energy back. My mom also said that being cold all the time is a sign of low iron too and I'm ALWAYS cold. So we'll see what happens!

My future rocket scientist!

Sophia had her appt with the NICU follow up clinic today. She goes once a year to be tested by the child pyschologist. I never fell over when they told me how tall she was! 46 inches!! She's 2 inches shy of 4 feet!! Which means she's 1ft 4 in shorter than ME! OMG!

So the child psych does her tests. She said they don't start calling it an IQ test until they are 6 yrs old. Right now it's a developmental quotient(or DQ *giggle*) test. Sophia did VERY well. *grin* PROUD MOMMA!

So she tells me that between 90 and 100 is normal or average. Sophia's verbal or language skills tested out at 119!!! I wasn't too shocked really as I know she has a great vocabulary and awesome enunciation for her age. The shocker came when I got her overall score. 110! She's above average! I'm so proud of her. The CP said that she probably would have tested higher if Sophia hadn't gotten bored at the end and did the tests instead of goofing off. Poor girl. I'm gonna have my hands full trying to keep her challenged while learning. The dr said that's probably why her attention span is lower. She gets bored easily.

I'm just so proud of her anyways! We were given a couple of things to work on ie how she holds her pencil when she writes, making sure she finishes a task before rewarding her.

Sophia has decided she doesn't want to do gymnastics. While I'm sad about it, I know that I can't force her to do it and I can only hope that in the future she will change her mind. I'm thinking of renting or buying a copy of the Nadia Comaneci movie. I loved that movie so even if Sophia doesn't want to watch it, I will! :) So tomorrow I have to call the school and see if I can get a refund of my money. According to their website, it says a 100% guarantee or they will refund your money if it's within a month. It's only been a few days! :(

Okay..I'm off to enjoy my evening. I"m officially on vacation until next Monday! WOOT!

Are we there yet?

So I got our hotel room booked for next Friday! I'm so freaking excited. I wish we could go sooner but well, you kinda gotta have money at the time you're going. LOL But I guess I can wait a week. It will be a good end to a week off.

I can't wait to see the Children's Museum. I hope the kids have fun! I'm sure they will. Sophia could have fun almost anywhere. ALMOST anywhere. Someday I will have to share the story of her cousin, Carla's birthday party. LOL It's funny but I don't know if Kim will like it. haha

Okay...Off to hang out with the kids.

Almost that time!

Sophia is officially on Spring Break!! Woohoo!!! Today they had an Easter Party at school. Of course they can get away with that because the preschool is in a church. lol. Public school can't do easter parties LOL

Wayne starts his vacation at 11:31pm tonight! LOL It will be nice to have him home for 9 days but I know I will quickly get irritated with something. Especially at night ie bedtime for the kids. He's not usually home at night with us so it will be different.

I work tomorrow and then I'm off Sat and Sun, work Mon then I'm off the rest of the week! YAY ME! Love my boss and that he will let me take the time off. Of course it's without pay but that's okay.

I also went for more blood tests yesterday. My iron levels are quite low so they want to do more tests. I guess if it's going to make me feel better, I'll do it. Tomorrow is my kidney ultrasound. Say a prayer that they don't find anything horribly wrong with me.

So there you have it. Really exciting stuff huh?
