Tired and Hungry

I haven't been sleeping worth a shit lately. Getting up 2 times a night to pee and all the tossing and turning makes for a cranky me in the morning.

I am so hungry in the morning. I really need to get to the store and buy Lite bread and some things. This GD thing is going to get old real quick. Seriously, 1 slice of bread with PB is NOT enough for breakfast. Not to mention that I can NOT have any type of juice or milk in the morning. So I am thinking, more like hoping, I can trick myself by getting the Lite bread b/c with that I can eat two pieces vs 1.

Let me tell you what B pulled last night. I had planned on making spaghetti for dinner. Sans the garlic bread. Like any other day, B asks whats for dinner and I tell him spaghetti but no garlic bread. You would have thought I committed a sin. He says WHY? I explained to him that since I am already eating pasta, I cant eat the bread too. So I figure instead of torturing myself, I just didn't buy it. What is his response? "What else can you make for dinner? I can NOT eat spaghetti without garlic bread."

OMFG! AYFKM?!

Don't be supportive and understanding that I have to adjust my diet for the next 8 weeks. God, I wanted to kick him in his nuts.... See, I didn't sleep well last night.

3D U/S pictures

We went to Sylvania Ultrasound http://www.sylultra.com/ last night and seriously, these women must have been the nicest people I have ever met!!

I am totally in love with Baby Cakes. It was such an awesome experience and I am SO glad we paid the money to have it done. I cant stop looking at my little baby.

So here are some pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as B and I do...or at least half as much.

I started with this b/c it is SO my child. As you can see there are TWO fingers in front of the one that is upright. I fucking love this picture!!

Well, its official

I have GD. Its OK. I'm cool with it. My OB said 2 of the 4 blood draws were elevated. So I need to see a dietitian. Aside from that everything is great. No sugar in my urine, which is a good thing and I have only gained 6 pounds. WOOT!

Get this, my BP was 102/70. If any of you know what I deal with at work on a daily basis, you are probably like me and wondering how on earth it is so low. Got me....

Moving onto Baby Cakes. HR was 132 and according to the doc, my belly is measuring right on track.

I cant wait till Thursday. We are getting the 3D u/s done.

Check out this cuteness I bought at Target the other night. Each item was ONE DOLLAR. How can you wrong for $1?

And last but not least. 30 weeks picture of me.

Can you tell I didn't sleep very well last night?

Be sure to check back on Friday for 3D pictures of Baby Cakes!

30 week appt today

I have my 30 week appointment today and I get the results of my 3hour GD test. To say the least, I am a little nervous. **fingers crossed** that I passed this time.

Baby Cakes has been a wild child lately. The other night BC kicked me so hard in the southern region I just about peed my pants. It hurt so bad that I yelped. I seriously have no idea what is going on in there.

We made more progress on the nursery over the weekend. B and I put up the border and B put up the ceiling fan. My friend Cyndi came over to pick up the rocking chair and to take measurements for a blanket and a valance. Its so wonderful to have talented friends. I cant wait to see how everything turns out. I'll try to post pictures tonight.

And last but not least, I went to Target last night and I just so happened to be walking by the baby section and what do I see, a 75% off sign. I got the cutest little onesies for a $1 each.
I'll post pictures of those too.

Whats that smell?

Not what you think... its new furniture!!! I have the best ass kissing hubby in the world. He was off work for two days and I came home on Tuesday to this. Check it out!!

View from looking in from the hallway:

The light switch and outlet covers.

The Crib

The changing table

Its all coming together! I am so excited!! I still feel as thou I have a long list of things to get and get done. I need to find fabric for the rocking chair (which happens to be my great grandma's). I need to find fabric to make the valance. I would like to find a red lamp and a white shade. I am waiting on the border to arrive, so I can put that up and B needs to put up the new ceiling fan.

Once I get all that done, I just sit and wait for my shower, and then its back to work!!

Mural and 29week picture

Here is the mural that I put up over the weekend. I freaking LOVE it.

And here is me after a LONG Monday. 29 weeks.

Guess I don't have much else to say. Well we did pick up the crib and changing table. But it is not assembled yet. Hopefully B will get to it this weekend.

As always. I aim to please others

Yea, WTFE. I am so sick of the SAME fight.

My SIL is beyond passive aggressive with my DH, and he doesn't see it.
See called yesterday and says she got her invite to my baby shower, but while talking with her boyfriends mom, she hadn't mentioned anything about receiving hers. Well that is b/c she didn't get one sent to her. I had to cut 12 people from the list and unfortunately, she didn't make the cut.

As usual, my DH tells me to invite her b/c he doesn't want to be caught in the middle of a fight between me, his mom and his sister. I told him I was NOT going to be bullied into inviting this woman that I don't even know when I had to cut cousins and friends from my list. His response. Whats one more person? Excuse me? That's not even the point. The point is, I'm not inviting her. How fair is it to my FAMILY and my FRIENDS who didn't get invites. But SIL's boyfriend's mom HAD to be invited so SIL wouldn't throw a fit like a 5 year old. Apparently the short bus didn't pick me up today, b/c I don't get it.

But just when you think it couldn't get any better, it does.
B called his mom to tell her that SIL had called and B gave her the short story and that "she" didn't get sent an invite b/c I had to cut the list and we only had so many invites to work with.

Oh problem solved. My MIL is mailing her HER invite that she got. AYFKM? I told B that was not fair. MILs response...what is one more person and she will be family............someday (yea right). Are these people crazy? Why Why why why why do I have to invite my SILs boyfriends mom when I cant invite my own friends and family? I feel like a broken record. No one gets it. I am beyond pissed at my MIL and my husband. He always tells me to suck it up and do it for him. And so what if SIL gets her way. I am so over it and one of these days all hell is going to break lose and it is not going to be pretty.

And yet B wonders why I have been in a pissy mood since yesterday. Once again, at my expense, SIL gets her way. He says he owes me one. Not that I am keeping count, but he owes me a lot more than one.

A Funny For You!

As if the baby shower drama wasn't enough. There is more. BFF who is throwing the shower calls and tells me how retarded she is. Of course I have to say "what did you do this time" (hahahaha)

Any who, she mailed out 70 invites for my baby shower and my name isn't on them!
I stopped dead in my tracks and said YHGTBFKM! Then I laugh. Apparently one of my friends received her invite in the mail yesterday and she called said BFF and said "I would love to come to the baby shower, but I have no idea who it is for." Again, I laugh.

I said well, you did put the BRU registry cards in there right? They have my name on it. And people will look at that and I am sure everyone is smart enough to put two and two together. She reassured me that she did. I said well, you might have to send out an addenda... but we will see what happens.

Its now a little before 9am and I have 3 messages in my email box asking about it. hahahaha.

I hope BFF knows I will NEVER let her live this one down.

So if you are reading this and you recently received a baby shower invite with no name on it, its for me and I hope you can make it. LOL!

Isnt That Swell?

I noticed last night my my ankles were turning into cankles. OMG, no! This can NOT be happening.

I am sure its b/c I was such a busy bee at work yesterday and all the walking I did while shopping. Not to mention the baking and cleaning of the kitchen last night.

So, when all was said and done, I made sure to plant myself in the lazy boy with my feet propped up, drinking my last 20 ounces of water before bed.

It still amazes me that I am sleeping thru the night with all the water I am drinking.

This morning, no cankles. That makes me happy!

Remember that list?

Remember the bakers dozen list of pregnant woman I know?
Add 3 more to that number.

GOOD LORD! Babies EvErYwHeRe!!!

I'm a train wreck

I cried yesterday. I failed my GD test. So now I have to schedule the 3 hour test. Yea, fun!

I haven't talked to my mom in over a month. I am too stubborn to call her. She really upset me and said some hurtful things. And well, I refuse to call her. What makes matters worse is that my inside source tells me that my mom thinks I am just hormonal will come around. AYFKM? Not this time. Until she apologizes to me, I will not be coming around. I thought about calling her, just so she knows how truly pissed I am with her. Then I thought about writing her a letter, but I don't think she would get it.

Ya know, you don't treat and talk to your ONLY child carrying what may be your ONLY grandchild the way my mom has. And to not even call and check in on me? I don't even know what to say to that.

I feel so sorry for my bff who is throwing my baby shower. Its non stop drama. I am impaled at the way my friends and family have treated her. Totally not cool and down right disrespectful. This morning I honestly thought about sending out an email, but I know I should just let it go. What gets me is how if things don't go the way some one wants them to, they change their tude. WTFE!

It seriously amazes me that my BP is in normal range. I am becoming very hostile towards people. Well, stupid people that is. And look the fvck out if I didn't sleep well the night before. Such as last night. B fell asleep before me and I couldn't fall asleep b/c he was snoring so loud.
So, I slapped and punched him a couple times. I told him about it this morning and he said he remembers me punching him at one point. That made me laugh.

I'm going to try and have a positive day, but honestly. I am too tired to try. Thank god I have no plans for this evening.

Oh, so aside from all the drama and hostility. Baby Cakes is good. Heart tones were great and baby is measuring right on track. I start going every two weeks now! EEEK!

I'll try to take a belly shot and upload for ya'll tomorrow. I know I have been slacking with that.

Making progress on the nursery

After much debate about how fvcking expensive the crib and dresser from BRU was, we decided to start the search over. We found and agreed on a complete set from Target. Of course my life couldn't be easy. Its online only. Ugh. BUT, for a 4-1 converter crib, a dresser and changing table with tax and shipping its only $600.00.I say only like its no big deal. But it is. The dresser alone at BRU was $550.00

So with the money we saved by shopping around and finding something on sale, I bought some other cute stuff on ebay.

I was lucky enough to find a handmade Curious George boppy slip cover, a Curious George ceiling fan and a light switch plate and outlet covers. I got all that for less than $80.00

So now I play the waiting game. I hate waiting for things to arrive. But I get so excited to come home to packages or see the UPS truck coming down the road. I think I have issues.

Fuzz Balls

Fuzz balls on my shirts and sweaters. This belly is getting in the way of everything and my clothing is starting to look like hell.

I need to invest in something. Perhaps on of these.

I have an OB appointment today. I'm a little nervous as I am hoping to have my GD test results back.

Wish me luck!
