Hi everyone,
Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. As D-Day approaches, it seems there is more and more to do, especially at work.
I had my baby shower on Saturday and it was great. I feel very blessed to have such a large family. We got just about everything, except for some of the expensive items that I knew I would be purchasing anyway. However, I wonder if it was a mistake for everyone to know I'm having a girl. I got LOTS of clothes, all pink.
Now I'm not complaining, but blue and red and yellow and green are nice colors, too.
The bad news for me was that I failed the one-hour glucose test last week and had to do the three-hour test yesterday. You fast from midnight the following night. Then they take blood first thing, then they take blood every hour on the hour for three hours. It wasn't pleasant, but I tried to keep my spirits up. I've been reading a lot about gestational diabetes. If I have it, well, then we take it from there. The surprising thing for me is I thought I had been so good the last few months, eating better and exercising. But I was struggling with my blood sugar, feeling faint sometimes, so maybe it was gestational diabetetes after all. Well, we'll find out soon enough.
I started to read the e-mails in this chain and had to laugh. I got so mad at my DH last night. He doesn't cook at all. Meaning he doesn't even make himself a sandwich. It really bothers me cuz I work full time, too, but I usually can make peace with it as he does do some nice things for me. (Like he got up early and waited in line for me at Lab Corp where I had the glucose test so I would be the first in line but wouldn't have to sit there). Anyway, I got so mad at him last night. I'm just home from work, tired, and hungry. He's watching TV but I had to make the dinner while he just sat there. Sigh. I stopped short of telling him he was on his own with finding dinner once the baby came.
Anyway, the mantra for today is healthy babies, healthy babies, and hopefully the rest will fall into place or at least be things we can deal with.
Hope everyone has a great day and sorry I wasn't able to reply to all posts. I'll try to stay on top of things better from now on!
Take care,
Dawn
