25 weeks!

Figured it's time for an updated picture. Had a good lunch with Kdiddy from Singlesaints (although neither of us has been on there forEVER), and gave her the sweater/hat set pictured below. Hadn't seen her for a long time, so it was good to get together again.

AND, I just got the phone call from the nurse at the OB. I'd called to check on the results, and she said everything looks really good and the levels are within normal, so YAY!! No diabetes!

Life is good ... but I'm tired.

25 weeks!

Oops

Forgot to post pictures of this little sweater and hat set I made for a friend's baby. It didn't turn out *quite* as I'd hoped, but is still quite cute, IMHO. ;) It's supposed to be for a size 6 months, and since she's due this summer, it should be good for the fall ... hopefully.

Horror-mones

So, I didn't have the best night last night with the baby keeping me awake and then the kiddo waking me up (she had nightmares) and then hubby came home and woke me up ... didn't sleep so good. Cried a lot, waited until hubby got up and told him that he wasn't nice this morning. Had a couple of naps. Am feeling somewhat better now. It's just been a long, stressful day, and I'm glad kiddo is in bed and hubby's taking a nap before work. It's actually kind of quiet now. Weird.

Thanks to Mimzie being so generous in giving advice and assistance and linking me to pages to get some more help and a better free pattern, I made a newborn diaper tonight.


It didn't take that long and looks pretty good! I just hope it WORKS. Still have to sew on some snaps though (and i'll eventually be getting a snap press). I'm realizing this is a bigger project than I'd anticipated, but I am still planning to use clothies at least part time at first, hopefully full time once he gets out of the newborn size. That being said, I still need more than one diaper for the newborn stage and will need a ton of smalls and other sizes, so thank you Katie for getting me together with Paige -- I'm going over tomorrow to get some things and check out some stuff, and will have a better idea of what on earth I'm going to be doing the next three months ... and then the next few years. lol.

So all in all, the ending of the day is turning out better than the beginning. Yay!

Happy Birthday to Moi

So yesterday was my 32nd birthday. Hubby woke me up with a rose and chocolate covered gummy bears, which are my favorite, but I don't have them very often because A) they tend to make my teeth hurt after a while, and B) who needs that much sugar? At any rate, when we were first dating, he wanted to know what to get me for my birthday, so he asked me what my favorite candy was. He thought I was lying that they even existed, because he couldn't find them. He bought me yummy chocolates and gummy bears though. It was sweet. Then after we got married, he was wandering through the grocery store by our house and found them! He's bought them a few times and decided he likes them too. So we sat and talked for a few minutes while munching on chocolate covered gummy bears. It was sweet.

I went in to wake up kiddo, and she said, "what day is it?" "Thursday." "It's your birthday! Happy birthday Ma!" It was quite cute.

Then I went to the DMV place to renew my driver's license and get my name changed and all that ... but they decided to have a staff meeting and opened late, so I went home and took kiddo to school. She'd made me a necklace out of yarn. I wore it until I got back down to the DMV, then put it in my purse. She was excited I still had it when she got home. lol. At the DMV it occurred to me that when I was 16, mom and I got my license either on the day or the day after ... so now I've been legally driving for half of my life. Weird. That's the only thing that made me feel older really.

My MIL came over with some cash for my birthday, so I picked up some lunch for me and hubby and some groceries, then we took the rest and went to dinner last night. McGrath's -- totally craving this parmesan crusted halibut from a restaurant in Oregon, but McGrath's has a decent version. I need more though, so I think I'm going to buy some halibut at the grocery store and try my hand at it.

I also got emails all day and phone calls from people who love me and wanted to wish me a happy birthday. I really appreciate so many people remembering!

Then I re-watched Juno after work last night. See, I'd watched it (and Dan in Real Life) while I was at the doctor's office the other day, doing the 3-hour glucose test for gestational diabetes. (still don't know the results). I thought it was cute ... but should've only watched it once. The second time it totally depressed me. I've been in a funk all day, between eating too much at dinner last night and still being bloated today but needing to eat, and the story of the movie ... It made me cry. Hubby thought I was upset with him this morning, and even though he'd said something a couple of days ago that did hurt my feelings and he got weird last night after dinner, I'm not mad at him. It was the dang movie! lol. Couldn't explain it to him because he didn't want to watch it, and we both knew that movie would depress him, so ... that's that. I slept on the recliner for a while this morning after he got home, so that didn't help him feeling I was mad, and I could see that he'd reached for me in his sleep when I took kiddo to school. So for my nap, instead of sleeping in kiddo's bed, I went and got in bed with him (he was still reaching across the bed for me) and he cuddled me. It was nice. I feel better now, so I'm glad I went in there.

Life sure gets interesting sometimes. I still don't know the results of the glucose test, but didn't get terribly sick after, just tired and emotional with some other things that happened that day. So ... hopefully I passed.

And now I'm off to work again.

Baby Stuff!

Oh my gosh ... I tried to get a car seat in the stores a few weeks ago and just got frustrated and upset. The one I wanted online (which said they had it in stores) is not really in stores here.

So, I just ordered the darn thing online ... along with a pack 'n' play, stroller, and a high chair, all matching zoo themed sort of stuff, so it's gender neutral and can be used if hubby decides we want another baby. (tongue in cheek; he's said he doesn't know if he can handle me pregnant again. bwahahaha.).

I feel better now. We have some clothes for him and the car seat will be here in a week or two, so we can actually bring him home at least ... lol.

The best part is that because I ordered it all at once (and spent so much ... *sigh*), I ended up with free shipping. $50 saved. Wahoooo!!!
