Month: June 2010

This weekend was our Baby Shower! My friend Mo did a bang up job, distributing onsies to people so they could decorate them. It was a good turnout and everyone had a good time. No scary baby shower games like sniffing melted candy bars in diapers, trying to figure out which candy bar it is.…

7 weeks to go. Holy Shmoly. My belly has taken on weird new dimensions. I’m starting to stress. I feel time ticking away. They’ve been trying to hire a replacement for me at work. He signed today and it’s official. I means I probably won’t have to work through July 15th, and that means more…

So… we had to redo our sewer line. The best case scenario was that it would cost about $2400. If the water line got in the way or was damaged, it was going to be $1400 more. Turns out, through a series of unfortunate circumstances, our final bill totals more like $6200. Yikes. Not knowing…

Ay yay yay. It’s been a crazy week. The results from my 3 hours glucose tolerance test were bad, and worst of all, the morning fasting number was bad. I definitely have gestational diabetes.

I still don’t feel big, although I think I probably look big. I feel like I’m looking at a funhouse mirror when I look at my reflection. It’s been an easy hard…

Last night I sewed instead of working on my paintings. It’s my way of procrastinating. I suppose it could be worse. I could have procrastinated by sitting around, doing nothing. But lately, I just call that being pregnancy tired, and the only thing I can really procrastinate against when I’m “pregnancy tired” is sleeping. But…

Here we go, we’re in the final 10 week count down (give or take). My blood pressure is 120 over 60, I’m steadily gaining 2 pounds a month, I feel fine and I’m still very mobile. I’m on iron supplements and I feel better. Baby is about 3 pounds and about 15.7″ long. Looks like…
