A feeling

I have a feeling that this little munchkin is going to come early.
I've been having this thought for a couple of days now.
Not sure when, and hopefully not any time soon, but I don't think I'll make it to 40w whether if it's from me going in to labor naturally or being induced.
And I have a feeling that even though she does come early, she's gonna be normal newborn weight.

*shrugs* I'm usually wrong though so we'll see what happens heh.

Welp, looks like we'll be going back primal earlier than expected. Even if my 3hr comes back ok, we (especially me) def needs to start eating better. Less junk.
I think I'll still include some toast with meals though to make sure I'm getting enough carbs. I know they're not the 'good' carbs, but it's better than eating too little at this point. Don't want to go in to ketosis or anything while preggo.
So yeah, that's not going to start until next week since tomorrow we have that concert. YAY!

Zoe REALLY loved the sweet potato I had for dinner last night! Of course I had to sweeten it up a bit.. sigh, bad me.
But still... about an hour and a half after.. she was moving like crazy for a good 30-40mins.
Really big movements too.
Was working on one of the figures so was sat down and hunched over some. She rolled over, turned or something b/c it was a HUGE movement feeling that just felt super weird lol.
She was moving big like that a couple more times and kicking, punching all over the place.
She has def gotten stronger b/c those cute little bladder punches have become uncomfortable hits :P lol

Results

Welp... good and bad.

Bad-
I failed my 1hr glucose test. Their cut off for norm is 130, my level was 160.
It sucks but I'm honestly not surprised by that at all.
What does suck is that I'm going to have to spend 3hrs in the office waiting to get blood drawn next Thursday.... awesome :\
I don't have a nifty phone or laptop or anything, so gonna have to bring a book along I guess.
I could actually go in tomorrow, but hoping that DH will be able to come with me next week to keep me company.... even though he just read stuff for work and barely talked to me last time :P lol

Now good news-
My iron and thyroid levels are normal. YAY!
So no increase or decrease with my synthroid and I don't have to worry about being anemic. So that's at least SOME good news lol.


Sigh.... I won't be surprised if I do have GD. If I do, then we'll just have to go back to being Primal a bit sooner than expected. Hopefully it will be GD controlled by diet and no injections. I mean I'll do them gladly to keep LO safe, but would much rather keep things under control by diet *nodnod*

Painting the figures for the nursery now. It's going to take a looooooooooooong time b/c the paint isn't the best quality stuff and the slick vinyl stuff doesn't hold it well. So lots and lots and lots of coats to make it look decent. Killing my upper back being hunched over painting but hopefully in the end it will look decent.

Waiting waiting waiting

Called nurse this morning and left a message asking about my lab results.
Hope to hear back from her soon.
They don't call if pap or thyroid results are ok, but you would think for at least the glucose test, they would call. I mean damn, a ton of women work there... not that difficult to get at least ONE of them to call people. Draw frickin straws or something, but just CALL.. or at least make sure someone is answering the damn lab results line!
So annoyed!
My results better be great or I'm gonna be super pissed that they didn't call to tell me that there was a problem.

Ate WAY too much last night and I'm still feeling it this morning. Stomach is so achy and I feel like my stomach is going to pop at any moment lol.
That's what I get for stuffing my face :P

DH had his guy's night last night. His one friend that just had a baby was there.
It's SO sweet when he gets to talk to him b/c it makes DH a lot more excited for our LO.
Can't remember if I posted this or not... if so, oops...
But DH saw a photo of his friend resting in a recliner with his son sleeping on him.
DH has been wanting a recliner for years now, but that really lit a fire under his butt about wanting one b/c he wants to be able to do that with our girl.
DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

May talk him in to going on Sunday to look at some if we feel up for it.

Also last night, when we were laying in bed talking while trying to get to sleep. DH fell asleep with his hand resting on my bump.
Double DAWWWWWWWWWWWWW

hehe

Zoe was eh.. moderately active yesterday. She does NOT like it when her momma turns up the bass in the car :P lol
I had to pick my neices up from school yesterday and when I drive, I like getting my ghetto on and turn on loud bassy music to bump bump bump the car to. It's not loud loud like you hear custom systems have or anything, it's just loud enough to feel the seat bumping under your butt with the beat heh.
Anyway, whenever a new song would come on, she would start kicking.
Heh it's gonna be fun to feel what she does at the concert!

I'm excited but dreading it at the same time. I'm looking foward to all of the bands, but it's gonna be hot and uncomfortable having no seats or anything and I dread having to use the bathroom there!
With it probably being hot, I'm gonna have to constantly chug down water which is gonna make me sweat more and pee more. BLEH... those bathrooms are gonna be disgusting, I just know it!

And back to being ok

She's moving a bit more now. Guess the lemonade worked. YAY heh
No big kicks, just her moving/rolling? around in there. WHEW!


And just b/c it was so darn delicious.. Just had 2 tuna fish sandwiches. YUUUUUUUM. I've been wanting it for a while, but for some reason always just put it off. OMG so good. Load up the mayo, put on some lettuce and some pickled banana peppers.... HEAVEN lol.

Let me sleep damnit!!

I dunno WTH is wrong with me but I just can not get a good night's sleep in :(
It's not the bump or baby moving (which she didn't do much of last night.. more on that in a bit)...
I just can't ever seem to find that sweet spot, and if by chance I do... I can't actually STAY asleep for the life of me. It's not even having to pee all the time b/c before, I could fall right back to sleep after.
UUUUUGH
Woke up with a headache today too :(
Sigh, couldn't get back to sleep this morning so hoping that will help me fall asleep and stay asleep easier tonight.
Going to try to keep myself busy so I'm not tempted to take a nap.
____

But yeah as I mentioned.. Zoe was not moving much last night. Of course that has me worried now.
Logical part knows that it's not anything to worry about right now. I felt her move a little, just not much.
But every other part of me is worrying like crazy! SIGH
I imagine it's going to be like this all the time and when she's born... it's gonna be a whole new set of worries lol.
Oh well.... about to drink some lemonade to see if that will get her to perk up a bit.

Taking a break

From working on the nursery thing. If I don't my eyes are gonna start crossing lol
Plus I wanted some chocolate :P

I still can't believe bananas give me heartburn. It's just so strange. And even though it is mild, it lasted ALL night long.

Hmm... my next appointment is in 2 weeks. Not exactly 4 weeks between each, but meh... doesn't really matter too much.
I still haven't gotten a call back. They have a number to call to get lab results. Awesome right? Well it would be if anyone ever frickin answered the damn phone. I've called it 3 times now and it just rings and rings and rings some more.
If I still don't hear anything back by Thursday, gonna give the nurse a call and ask.

DH wants me to get the mole on my boob checked out. I've had it since.. well, since at least a teenager. But it has gotten larger since becoming pregnant. Googling... apparently that's pretty common.
It's not blotchy or anything, but it def has gotten larger. I don't think there's a problem, but will ask OB about it next appointment if I remember.

Zoe is a little more active today. Actually started last night while laying in bed. She was moving around a lot more which was such a relief.
And today, she's been moving and kicking or punching away in there every once in a while. Comes in bursts and then quiets down for a while.
Gosh, I can not wait to meet this little girl!
____

Alrighty, gotta get back to work, booo
Still have a little over half of the Millenium falcon to cut out and then have to do a bunch of touch ups and UUUUUUGH....
Have I mentioned how much of a pain in the butt this is? Yes? Well..... there's a reason I keep repeating it! lol

The figures are going to be SOOOOOOO much easier. Maybe not the painting part, but putting them on the wall is going to be easy peasy since they're one giant piece instead of a bunch of tiny little pieces that get all distorted and don't want to go together correctly! Grrrrrr

25w

Wow... only 15 more weeks to go. IF LO stays in that long that is. Hope she stays in for most of that time.

Anywho... here is my bellyshot of the week.
Decided to try on my maternity dress again. It still fits really well which surprises me. Thought by now that it would be too snug heh
25w compared to 22w

Man I need a haircut :P
____

Since I'm gonna be posting up a lot of photos today as I said I would (and actually remembered to)... here are some random ones first.
Last week, we got in the pet gate that DH ordered.... and this is what the UPS guy did to conceal it outside...

I can barely see that box! It's so well hidden!......... -_-

Why we bought the pet gate. DH wanted to move the litterbox to keep the dogs out of it. Yes... our dogs are cat shit eaters as a lot are unfortunatly. Dunno wth it is with cat crap and dogs loving it. BLEH
Anyway, this is the setup DH did in the sunroom

We actually went out and bought those stools for the cat to jump on... and to help keep the gate propped up.
Cat seems to enjoy it though and dogs can't get in to it now, so YAY!
His royal fatness....

And finally... well I guess this isn't too random. It's my card table work station :P Where I'll be working most of the day today cutting out the nursery thing

The big black thing on the green pad is the Millenium Falcon I'm cutting out. Soooooo much work
____

Here's the glider & ottoman
They were covered up with blankets just in case the cat decided to take interest in them. He hasn't so far though so took them off to take the photo. Plus they really need to air out. The cushions have this funky turpentine smell to them

It's pretty comfy, but I want to get a thicker butt cushion for it. It's comfy for about maybe 10mins and my butt starts to hurt b/c there's not much there on the chair.


And finally here are the carseats.
The larger one just says Cosco on it *shrugs* And the smaller (the tan/plaid one) has an Evenflo booklet with it so I'm gonna step out on a limb here and say that's the brand it is lol

Like I said, they're nothing special, but they're gonna keep LO safe and sound and that's all that matters :D
