Getting the hang of it

Do you have any idea how long it takes to grocery shop when you stop and read every label? A long time. Well, not really. But long enough for B to wonder WTH took me so long.

First let me bitch about the crotchmuffin dietitian I met with last week. I did not like her. We will just leave it at that. But she told me that pasta was pasta no matter what brand/type it was. She may be right. But I don't want to believe her. I picked up a box of Kroger Brand pasta and compared it to Healthy Choice, I think (I honestly cant remember for the life of me right now.) Anyhow, the carbs where WAY lower on the HC. So I bought that.

My Blood Sugar (BS) was low all day yesterday. I had a salad and spaghetti for dinner and two hours after I ate, my BS was 90. Not that it is bad. But when my numbers are low, I do stupid things. Like reward myself with ice cream or brownies. I really need to stop doing that.

I'm finally getting the hang of this testing and knowing what I can eat and what will fill me up without going over my carb intake. I also know what I should stay away from and which foods are free and I can eat all I want....Free foods help a lot. But do you have any idea how hard it is to make Jell-o and not put alcohol in it? Its hard. I had to read the instructions 3 times.

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.
