Test Run for the Test

Mess hall brunch, then we headed up to Regensburg. We have an appt at the hospital there for our 1st trimester screen (for those of you who don't know, it's the 1st big test for any problems with Schatzi--it tests for likelihood of Downs and Trisomy-18). After last week's mishap with the diabetes doc I wanted to make sure ahead of time that we could find this appt. I'm not so stressed about the diabetes since I had it with Wee Laddie...but there's only a small time window where we can get this test done and I'd hate to miss our chance.

Found the hospital with no problem.

We were driving away from there and Wee Laddie spotted a fountain. He loves fountains so he said, "Wanna go look at the wonner [water]? Wanna go see it?" We didn't end up finding a parking spot near there, but we parked near a parkish area & walked around for a while. Happily, we found a fountain there, too.





And we looked around a church Guitarman had found when his sister was here… St. Emmeram’s Basilica. Very ornate. I always find it interesting to see these elaborate testaments to peoples’ beliefs.







Then we went to IKEA for lunch and to look for a rocking chair. We (well, I) have been sorta looking for a new rocker for a while. We got a glider as a baby gift, but we pretty much used it all up after almost 2 years of hard use. Anyway, the ones I really like are crazy-expensive (of course), so I thought we'd go in the opposite direction and see if we could find something likeable (but maybe somewhere short of really cool) and inexpensive. There's a chair we both like that's not really a rocker but seems like it'll work as one. Plus it'll look nice in the living room (which is what we'd originally looked at it for) if it outlives its usefulness as a rocker.

Wee Laddie fell asleep in the car on the way home… too late to get in a decent nap, and too early to still be willing to sleep once we got home. So his nap was about 20 minutes. Ugh. I’m so tired of the almost-daily nap battle. It drains me. In light of that, Guitarman picked up deli meat and we had sandwiches for dinner.

This was the 2nd night of Wee Laddie going to bed on his own. He got very upset at the beginning tonight, but we calmed him down and he’s been okay since then.
