times, they are a changin'

sorry for waiting a whole week to update, especially with so much changin' going on! i believe the last few times i blogged i mentioned getting the nursery ready, failing my gestational diabetes test and the distress of starting to eat meat again. so lots of changes!

to start with the simplest; the nursery is the same as when my parents left, just cluttered with our normal, daily refuse. please, please comment with some ideas to decorate the walls!

i woke up to good news this morning...i passed the three hour diabetes test!!! yay! i guess not having a sweet tooth made it a bit more difficult. it was soooo hard to eat all of those sweets everyday. i had constant headaches and felt so lethargic. i felt chained to the house because i had to eat these large portions so often that it was hard to leave for more than an hour. the test itself was not fun...unless sitting on an uncomfortable floor for 3 1/2 hours and getting your arms poked over and over is your idea of fun! after the first blood draw on both arms the nurses had trouble getting blood from my poor, poked veins. so they had to stick me over and over, moving the needles around underneath my skin....grrrr..... p.s. the reason i was sitting on the floor was that the waiting room where they wanted me to sit at the lab corp was uncomfortable and also very busy with all these guys coming in for their court-mandated drug tests and paternity tests. not a fun environment. so they had an empty office and let me spread out and rest in peace.

so for the eating meat thing....the first few days were a little hard. the meat tasted strongly of...well...meat! but i have to admit, after a week back on meat, that i have been missing it! i fully intend on going back to being a vegetarian (although i might have to eat meat while breastfeeding....more on that later) but i am going to take full advantage of all the things i have been missing...yesterday, i thought i might die of happiness while eating a double cheeseburger. seriously, die!!!! please give me a swift kick in the future if you ever overhear me talking about how a veggie burger is not that different. i was deluded, please forgive me. so for now, i am planning all of the dinners i have been denying myself for years. hot wings, here i come!

29 weeks. buddy is getting ready to be a good big brother! i thin k i am getting fat face. gross.

the dresser....lets not discuss how difficult it was to get in the house! buddy once again, doing his vanna white thing!

thanks mom and dad for such a beautiful baby bed. now i just have to decide how to decorate the room!
