Why you little...

One of the things I forgot to mention....
Zoe loves getting on the kindle and I don't mind her being on it for a limited amount of time. Well apparently I don't supervise her good enough b/c the girl pre-ordered a book LOL.
She's actually downloaded some free games too for it. Oops.
Thankfully it was only $5 and something I'll read, but still.... that could've turned in to something very expensive :P

DH disabled all of that though so hopefully we won't have anymore problems :P

UGH, this cold isn't too bad, but it's still keeping me up at night. Stuffy nose I can deal with but my mouth drying out and then my nose dries out and becomes painful.... it sucks.
Right now I'm just feeling a little hot, stuffy and like I'm permanently in a fog. Hoping it only gets as bad as this.
____

Aww, Zoe was so sweet. She follows me in to the bathroom of course. I was using the bathroom and she saw my stomach which just had an indentation from my PJ bottoms. She saw it though and got this worried look on her face and said "Oh no! Mommy hurt."
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww *heart melts*
My sweet baby girl.
____

I know there was something else I wanted to mention but can't remember now.
So instead of that.... here's some photo spam!!


At the family get together. She had fun trying to play pool... and I'm pretty sure this is where she caught the cold.

Sneak peak at the nursery. A lot more has been done but I haven't taken more photos yet.
First photo is Zoe's contribution lol.

Zoe just being cute

And finally a few photos from Christmas. We took a bunch at first but then just completely forgot to take more later in the day. Whoops.

Sick but ok

So this cold that has been going around has finally gotten to me. I can't resist kisses from my girl so I knew it would happen. I'm sure her coughing and sneezing all over me didn't help either lol.

Thankfully it doesn't seem that bad though. Zoe still has it but it's mostly just random coughing here and there and slightly runny nose right now. So nothing too bad. Hoping it's that way for me too.

Well... this is if I don't catch the flu that SiL had and her dumbass going out to eat with us anyway. UGH that makes me so angry. Yes, other SiL was leaving that day, but you have the FLU... stay your ass home. Your sister will understand! Hell, she even asked why she didn't just stay home.
And I know people always complain about their husband's being the big babies when sick... no... that's SiL. The girl reverts back to a damn bossy 5yo child when she gets sick (and not w/ the flu.. I know that's serious and sucky). She is lucky her husband has the patience of a dang saint.
____

Gave other SiL the femara and the rest of the ovulation tests. She seemed pretty excited to try it when her husband gets home. I really hope it helps. Hell... I will call in and ship her the refills of it if she wanted me to. I think I have 3 refills.
I had thought she was doing some kind of fertility treatments but she said that the one near her isn't accepting anymore patients right now.
That's actually pretty sad that there are that many people needing treatment :( I hope something works for her though. I hate that she is going through this at all and as I've said before... she would make such a wonderful mommy.
I think they've looked in to possibly adopting too, so they're looking at every option out there it seems.
____

Hmmm, there were other things I wanted to mention but of course... now I can't think of anything.
Oh well....

Merry the day after Christmas!

Or Happy Holidays if you celebrate something else... or WOO it's Friday! For anyone that doesn't celebrate anything :D

Yesterday was great and SO tiring.
Had to wake up early to put ham in the oven and even then it could've used at least another 30min-1hr.
Oh well.

Zoe took to opening her presents like a champ lol. Santa brought her the easel which she loves and she LOVED opening everything else. Would rip some paper off and want to put it in the bag of trash hehe. It was a very tidy Xmas morning here :P lol

I just set up her Little People princess castle thing for her (which was easy but also a PITA) and she's playing with it right now. We'll have to upgrade to a much larger doll house eventually but she loves it :)
Now have to set up/open everything else for her..... as soon as we figure out where to put everything.

She made out like a bandit though. Her and her cousins. Holy crap... they all got SO much stuff. I can understand though. It's just SO much fun shopping for LOs. You see all of this stuff that you know they'll love and it's hard to resist getting it. Heck, up until Xmas eve we were still wanting but resisting the urge to buy more for Zoe lol.

Ok, just set up her hello kitty play tent thing. Holy crap it's HUGE but Zoe loves it too. She's crawling in and out of it :)

I got a game, Guardians of the Galaxy from Dh's friends. We already bought Guardians but oh well.
And then DH got me 2 shirts.... same thing I got for him heh. We kept our gifts simple and cheap since we were going all out for everyone else.
____

Went out to Target (2 different ones) and Home Depot this morning.
There were a couple of ornaments I wanted to try to get for Xmas next year for half off. Got a couple, but not the one I was hoping they'd have. It was a cutesy looking Spiderman and I think they had some cutesy Star Wars ones too. They did have 2 storm troopers but both of them were broke. OH well... They'll probably have it next year, so will try again then.... or more like pay full price for them b/c the hell if I'm going out with 2 youngins lol. And yes, I did go to 2 different ones just to look for those ornaments lol. It was still early though so not a lot of people out.
People be crazy up in the Xmas sections though. Good lord they go crazy for the discount Christmas stuff. People with their carts filled to the brim and then some with it. Insane.

Actually had to wake Zoe up. Poor girl woke up at 3 last night and was coughing every 5mins or so. Not a bad cough though thankfully. I was already awake b/c Fuck pregnancy insomnia.. that's why :\
About to put Zoe down for a nap in a second.

Oh and I went to Home Depot to color match the yellow acrylic paint I was using in the nursery. Yes... I started to paint *gasp* lol
Yellow acrylic paint just SUCKS ASS. It doesn't cover anything for shit and you have to use so many layers.
After the paint peeled off a few spots.. I just said screw it and went and got some actual for the walls paint to use in there. I only got a sample size which is plenty... not going to go over every single spot if I can help it. Just over the obvious areas that need to be covered.

Oh and looked at Target online today and bought a bunch of clothes for baby boy too. Had to be quick b/c a lot of what I did want was already sold out. Frickin love a good clearance sale.
____

Oh but Christmas was good overall. Zoe had a blast with her cousins and all of the new stuff she got. And yeah... it was good.... well.. except for dinner. The salad and roll I had were good and.... that was it. We were supposed to have steak but someone royally screwed up the giant piece of expensive meat that was purchased.
They were trying to cook it like a prime rib roast but it ended up cooking like an extremely dried out pot roast. There was so much of it left b/c it was disgusting. Just a total waste. Such a shame b/c I was looking forward to some good steak :(

We're supposed to be going back tonight for turkey. Hopefully it won't be ruined lol.
____

And yep.... think I need to take my glyburide with dinner. My fasting level has been in low to mid 70's the last 2 days which IMO is too low. Going to try taking the glyburide earlier to see if it helps.

Baby boy didn't move at all when we were at inlaws. Think he could hear all of the noise and froze. Made me paranoid though so when we came home real quick mid afternoon, I dopplered just to check on him and his lil heart was beating and he kicked a few times.

____

And this is my cue that Zoe needs a nap. Defiant and grumpy is never a good combo in a toddler.

Grr, stupid

So, I had 2 packs of oatmeal again for breakfast this morning and my sugar was 121! BLEH!!
It's been below 110's the last few times I've had it. Low sugar oatmeal my ass.
AND my doctor's office didn't call in my glyburide prescription yesterday. Really???
My fasting was only 92 this morning thankfully (was afraid it was going to just keep going up and up). But still... shouldn't that be something they call in pretty quick, especially when they told me they were going to call it in? Sigh. Will have to call the pharmacy to see if they got it in yet and if not, call my doc's office.

____

Had a terrible dream last night. It didn't start off bad, just kind of strange. It was a legos and video game land.
We were in a castle (after a bunch of other crap had happened), and FiL comes in asking to see Zoe. Just the look on his face.. I knew something was wrong.
Well, he sees Zoe and just gives her a big hug and tells her he loves her.
No one else really notices anything strange, but I can't help but speak up and ask him why he's telling Zoe goodbye.
He gets the anguished look on his face but doesn't say anything and I start to bawl in the dream b/c I know something is wrong and he was essentially telling Zoe goodbye b/c he was never going to see her again.
Well, the dream ended there b/c I woke myself up b/c I was actually sobbing in my sleep. I had tears just streaming down my face. That's never happened before and kind of weird that it did.
____

Zoe's cold doesn't seem to be worse. Did hear her coughing a couple of times during the night but that was probably just her sinuses draining.
Her nose is still runny but doesn't seem to be as bad as it was yesterday.
She didn't nap which always makes he cranky. Will try to get her to nap or at least relax in her room for a bit today. She did go right to sleep when we put her down for bed.

I used that suction bulb thing we still have from when she was born to suck out the snot from her nose last night. Good... gross.... lord....
There was a TON of it. She'd only let me suck some out a little bit at a time but it kept coming. So gross. Wish I could teach her how to just blow her nose. I've tried a couple of times, but she doesn't understand.
____

And I should start taping the nursery walls today. The heroes are mostly done. Just have some details to add which shouldn't take too long.
I don't think I'll be adding more heroes. We'll have pictures and other things to put up that will fill everything out a bit more.

Update

Got a call back and back on glyburide I go.
Also had to reschedule my next appointment b/c they want to do another ultrasound for some reason. Hey whatever, not going to decline another chance to see my little man :) But if DH can't get off, then will have to drop Zoe off with her granny.

Also b/c I have to go back on glyburide.... I have to do the twice a week monitoring again.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I guess that's why I hadn't heard anything about it before. Damnit. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to go so far out of the way to drop Zoe off for these appointments.
Oh well. Gotta do what ya gotta do. Just going to be a giant PITA. May try to bring her for the NST appointments. Will try once and see how it goes lol. Wish they had a little nursery or something at this place. That would be SO helpful.
But hey... bright side being that I'll get to see Oren every week at the end. :)

Few more days!

.... until Christmas! So exciting :)
Hope everyone is doing well and getting all of your last minute shopping done with little headache heh.

Family get together yesterday wasn't that bad. But thank goodness DH had enough thought to buy 4 pizzas before we went. If we hadn't of gotten those pizzas... everyone would've filled up on nothing but sugary desserts and crackers :\
I couldn't eat any of said pizza though b/c I was saving my 'cheat' for something sugar lol.
Still though... how are you going to throw a party/get together and not provide some frickin food??? Geeze.

Zoe had fun. She spent the night w/ aunt and apparently her very slightly runny nose is now full blown snotfest along with sneezing. Awesome.
I know she caught this cold from one of her cousins. How do I know? Well b/c they always tell us after the fact that one of them is sick... you know... after Zoe has been around them, hugging them, giving them kisses, etc.
Obviously we can't put her in a bubble to keep her from getting sick, but how about NOT exposing her that much to other sick kids huh? Geeze.

Anyway... I'm hoping Zoe doesn't get any sicker. If she does.. I know I'll be soon behind her with my own cold.

Also really hoping she doesn't get sicker b/c I don't want her Christmas to be all miserable b/c she feels bad. She seems fine other than the sneezing and runny nose though so... FX.

Left a message with my doc this morning. My fasting was 99 today. Highest it has been. Figured with it going that high I should just go ahead and call instead of waiting. I mean it's not super high still, but better to be safe than sorry.
And speak of the devil, just got a call back. It was just the nurse saying they got the message and wanting to know what the lowest it's been since it has been elevated.
Will get a call back later with whatever the doctor says. So that's good.
____

Anterior placenta w/ a breech baby sucks for movement :( Don't get me wrong, obviously I would rather not feel anything and him be perfectly fine, but... not feeling him move for very long stretches gets me SO incredibly worried.
I felt him a lot more when he was head down. Even though the kicks were all being covered by the placenta, it still seemed like I felt him more often.
Oh well though. Like I said, all that matters is that he's ok in there.... it just makes me worry when I can't feel him.
____

Planning on working on the nursery today. Probably will after fixing and eating some lunch. :)

3rd tri

Holy crap... am I really in third trimester already? MAN... the holidays is making this go by super fast. Maybe it will slow down afterwards, but.... who knows. Just feels like everything is flying by now and I feel so..... so unprepared.

I haven't done shit to the nursery. I did almost finish the cityscape... just have I think a few background buildings to do but that should only take a couple of minutes.
But then I have the superheroes to draw, figure out if I want to add more, taping everything up which is going to be such a PITA... and just UUUUUUUUGH.
Things just keep coming up though whether if it's just being tired or going somewhere so I haven't worked on it.

Ok... this week.... I have no plans on going anywhere so will try to devote most of the day working on it. I want to start painting by the end of the week. *nodnod* We'll see if it happens.... lol.
____

Grrr, another high fasting number. Again, not super high. Still in the 90's but BLEH!
They never mentioned about me having to come in for the whole NST plus an ultrasound another day of that week, but with this happening.... it might be a possibility at the end. I really hope not.
Seeing baby boy that often would be awesome, but it's going to be such a hassle having to drop Zoe off for the appointments.
Right now, my plan was to just take her with me and keep her busy w/ the kindle since the appointments would just be standard things like peeing in a cup, weight, blood pressure and probably doppler.
We'll see what happens.
____

Family thing this afternoon. BLEH!
Not looking forward to it b/c it's going to be a bunch of finger foods that I'm not going to be able to eat any of.
Hell, I'm about to go make rice crispy treats for it :\ BUT, I am damn well going to eat some of it!! Not as much as I want, but I'll be damned if I'm going to fix them and not eat a little bit. Rofl.
My sugar after eating has been excellent except for those 2 times w/ the rice.... It's all about moderation *nodnod*
