32 Weeks

It has been a rough weekend.  I think my hormones have finally kicked in or something.  I've cried a lot the past two days.  I had a mini argument with my mom after she insulted me; someone I was in love with got married yesterday; I have mixed feelings about SD2; I am having a hard time with the diabetes.  It all built up and came crashing down. I spent much of the day in bed playing on my phone and trying to nap, hoping to relax and lower my stress level.  Now it's Sunday night and the start of the work week.  I hope I'm feeling alright tomorrow.

Last week I rearranged Montana's room and helped her clean it and sort her toys, then later that same night SD2 came over.  Around midnight when I settled in bed I started having contractions--real contractions, not just Braxton Hicks.  They were sporadic, some five minutes apart, some less often, and lasted about three hours.  I didn't worry too much about it because I wasn't spotting and it didn't last all night, but it was very  uncomfortable.  Since then I've only had Braxton Hicks, so I hope the real ones stay away at least another month.

I had my first appointment with the diabetes doctor during the week, and it went well.  I saw a nurse, a student doctor, and then who will now be my regular GD doctor, and they all said I did fantastic.  My numbers were on target, except two high readings, so they were pleased.  Since then I have had a few high readings that I can't explain, so I'm not sure what will happen at my next appointment.  They did say, however, that as the baby grows my readings may also increase.

I bought the baby's dresser this weekend.  What a pain in the ass that thing was!  I spent four hours putting it together.  I was very frustrated, but it is finished.  I bought some Pooh Bear stickers to decorate it since it is just a plain brown dresser, so it looks pretty cute!  Here is the finished product:





There are stickers on the sides and top as well, and since I still had some leftover I added them to the wall behind the crib.  My room is very Winnie-the-Pooh now!  My mom surprised me yesterday with some cute clothes, a Pooh stuffy, a Pooh sleeper, and a Pooh towel plus cloths.  Everything is washed and in the dresser.  I'm basically ready for this baby now! 


This week I will see Dr. J., start packing my hospital bag (Nemo's is done) and that's about it.
