Ooops!

I've had so much on my mind, I completely forgot to update my blog!

We haven't made much more headway with moving. Unpacking is even worse since I have to do most of it (it's my junk and DH has no clue what to do with it). We finally got internet yesterday, went from dial-up to cable, very nice!

Since we moved in, DH bought me a new bedroom set and a nice computer chair. We were using a folding chair before, so this really is nice. We also got new end tables and a coffee table.

We went on our vacation and I was definately ready to come home halfway through it. I had no intention of being down in Kentucky for 9 days, but DH wanted to be gone that long so that's what we did. We stayed in a hotel for the first few days before his aunt laid a big enough guilt trip on him that we ended up staying with her. That was the rough part for me because while I do like the family he has there, I can't handle such large doses... especially when deprived of the little bit of coffee I'm allowed!

Peanut seems to be doing well. I had an u/s the Wednesday after we got back and the tech managed to catch her wiggling her toes! Her estimated weight at 35 weeks was 5lbs 9 oz putting her in the 60th percentile. Just a tad bigger than normal :).

I am on insulin now and things seem totally out of control with it. I take two shots a day and I started having problems with my blood sugar getting too low so some adjustments were made yesterday and that made things worse! I woke up at midnight to a glucose level of 37 and it should have been no lower than 70 at that point in time. That was the worst of the readings, but I've had quite a few bad ones over the last few days so hopefully there will be more adjustments come Monday when I see the OB again.

I get to have a non-stress test (NST) every week now. Those are only interesting for the first 10 minutes or so unless I have a contraction. I love hearing the baby's heartbeat, but 30-45 minutes of the same sound over and over again, no matter how beautiful, gets a tad boring. The first NST went perfectly, heartbeat was right where it should be and no contractions. The second was good too, but I managed to have 3 contractions while on the monitor. Nothing to be concerned about I guess since I'm not at all dialated.

Speaking of dialation, why on earth didn't anyone tell my that being checked for dialation was soooo unpleasent? I figured the doc would whip out the speculum and look, not stick his arm up there and feel! Okay, so it was only two fingers, but it might as well have been a baseball bat. Not looking forward to having that checked again! I'll take a wild guess and say it's even worse when there is dialation.

I've had 3 baby showers! One was a surprise thrown by some friends of ours. That one was fun until it was time to drive home. DH and I drove seperately since he had to leave early to go to work. So that left me to drive home in the first real snow of the season and I was 30 minutes from home. Not to mention that I needed to drive past home another 20 minutes and do some grocery shopping. Of course those times are how long it takes without the snow. The second shower was the next day. My mom threw that one. It was fun as well. The last one was Wednesday and only lasted about 20 minutes lol! My co-workers surprised me with some yummy food and a rather nice gift. As a bonus, I got to eat extra yummy food because my blood sugar was yet again too low. That's the only plus side to my GD being out of control, extra food when I get too low. Sure, it isn't worth it, but I have no control over it so I might as well enjoy the one perk.

A little over 3 weeks til my due date. No one at work thinks I'm going to make it that long, my belly is HUGE. I'm tiny, but I have this belly that enters a room about a minute before I do.
