Hooray for the homestretch! We met one of our midwives yesterday at our 30 week appointment. I am measuring right on for 30 weeks so the midwife is not concerned at all about my weight gain at this point. I passed my glucose screen with flying colors; 105 and they like to see it under 140. Great news!

Reagan thinks that 5 years old is so grown up. She has a new sense of independence and wanted to do a lot of things yesterday on her own. And she acted very grown up for what she had to endure on her 5th birthday. After leaving the doctor's office yesterday we experienced car troubles which found us at the Subaru service dept. for an hour or so. To my delight, they had a Keurig and a fine selection of coffee for me. And for Reagan, an arts and crafts area with all kinds of activities along with free popcorn. She had a great time and was so good while we had to wait. In the midst of our misfortune we found several things for which we were very lucky on St. Patrick's Day. 1. We were fortunate that Mike was with us and the one driving when the car had issues. 2. We were fortunate that the car made it all the way to the dealership so we avoided having to call a tow truck. 3. We were fortunate that all of the car rental companies didn't have cars and the dealership loaned us a courtesy car to drive until the repairs are made to the car. The whole experience changed the way I feel about Subarus. They were so kind to us and made what could have been a very negative experience into more of a positive one.

So, in the 2009 Subaru Forester, we were able to complete our plans for the day. I got my stolen cell phone replaced and we took Reagan to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate her birthday. She had a blast! She ran from game to game in wild excitement. We got some tokens and showed her how to play some of the games. Mike got to fly an airplane and Mommy got to play skee ball. After pizza, we let Reagan play until all the tokens were gone. She ended up with over 100 tickets and was able to pick out her prize. It ended up being pretty enjoyable fun for everyone and didn't cost very much. Reagan was upset that we couldn't go back this morning after dropping Mike off at the train station. Ha!
