Little bit of this and that

Got in new furniture today. YAY!
We were only looking for a recliner, but the entire living room set (recliner, sofa, loveseat) caught our eye and after doing some serious thinking and crunching numbers, we went for it.
It's so nice. Leather so it will stay nice and cool. Couch has recliners on the end and yeah... it's nice.
Gonna be tough trying to keep the dogs from scratching it up to hell though.
Just need DH to get home now to set it up how he wants. I really could care less lol.

Finally got the moons done last night. Haven't hung them up yet though. I've taken photos but feeling REALLY lazy right now b/c I did not sleep well last night.
Woke up at 3:30 and didn't get back to sleep until 6. Tossed and turned b/c I could not get comfortable. If it wasn't the belly, it was my ribs or hip or knee or arm. BLEH!
I should sleep like a baby tonight.. or hoping I will b/c I have my NST tomorrow morning.
____

Man... it is seriously hitting me that there are only 2.5 more weeks in July! Frickin insane!!
I hope this baby girl comes a little early, but not too early. We still need to put in the carseat. Wash diapers, buy a bunch of baby stuff and UGH... just feels like SO much even though it's really not a lot.

We have 2 baby classes next week. Infant CPR and then that 8hr long thing on Saturday. I still can't believe DH wants to do that. 8hrs!!! UUUUUUUUUGH I'm barely comfortable at home... I can't imagine how bad it's going to be at this class! lol
____

I wish this baby girl would drop some. She is right up under my boobs and causing some serious indigestion lol. Glad I haven't experienced the infamous rib kicks though. I know she's put pressure on some of my ribs every once in a while b/c I'll get random aches, but haven't actually felt any kicks to them thank goodness.
____

Even though I'm pretty much over being pregnant.... I'm so going to miss feeling her and seeing her move in there. It's still so weird and cool.
Hell this entire experience has been weird and cool. I still get moments where I feel like I should be waking up from this dream at any moment.

35 weeks

Don' think it has really changed much. *shrugs*  Oh well, so long as the u/s show that she's still growing like she should then whatever heh.

No nursery shots yet. We'll be moving the glider/ottoman in there today and I SHOULD have the moon things done today as well. Worked on the eyes last night. Put it off until the last minute. Really need to get over this procrastinating thing. Don't want baby girl to inherit that bad habit lol.
____

Coworkers are making DH paranoid. He was told by someone that a friend was told they were having a girl, and out popped a boy.
So now on my next u/s appointment, he wants me to ask if they will confirm that yes, it's still a girl. hehe
I dunno why but just think it's cute that he's worried about it so much.
Yes mistakes can and do happen, but I wouldn't think they're that common *shrugs*
I'll be asking though. Hopefully the tech won't mind and Zoe will cooperate and show the goods.

Pretty much same old same old when it comes to how I'm feeling.
Woke up this morning to use the bathroom. Laid back down and must've moved my leg wrong. Shooting pain from my right hip up on to the lower part of the bump.
Frickin hurt like hell.

Sleep has been meh. Not too bad thankfully, but still not great.

Don't really have any other preg symptoms. At least nothing that I've noticed. My nose is a little stuffy, but I can still breath through it so not worried about it. Haven't noticed any swelling which I'm happy about. I could be swelling but it's not enough that it catches my attention.

My fasting sugar levels are doing something weird. Not sure what's going on but I've had 2 so far above what it should be.
I'm not doing anything different since I started the glyburide *shrugs* The ob I saw on Monday didn't think anything of it. But who knows if this keeps happening. They may have to increase my dose maybe.

Another woman from my DD group gave birth not too long ago. Think she was just over 35w! She and baby are doing great which is really awesome to hear.
I think we're going to have a lot more giving birth in the next couple of weeks. It's still so crazy to think how close to the end this pregnancy is coming.
I'm gonna miss it for the most part, but I'm ready to start this next chapter in our lives.

Random thought

I've come to believe that our bodies cause us to get constipated during pregnancy to help us with laboring and pushing.
I've been told and read from multiple people that pushing is like trying to have a really big #2... and being constipated and trying to push THAT out... *nodnod* It makes sense.


That is all...... o_o

It's all good

Appointment this morning went well.
Baby girl cooperated very well. Wiggling around, practice breathing, heart rate still great, amniotic fluid where it should be :)
The tech was really happy about that... u/s lasted all of 3mins heh. She said it usually takes around 30min most of the time b/c the baby doesn't want to cooperate *shrugs*
She looked at Zoe's face for a little bit which was really cool b/c my LO was opening her mouth and licking her lips. Well I didn't see the tongue part but the tech said it lol. I did see her opening her mouth though and I guess swallowing the amniotic fluid. That was so cool.
Got to see her face a little better too BUT, tech didn't get good shots of it so nothing to share today. Booooooooo
It's like she waits until it's a crap angle and THEN decides to take a shot of it lol. Oh well.

No growth scan this week, but will start it weekly next time. Also next time will start to have my cervix checked. BLEH. I guess it will be interesting to hear how my cervix is doing, if I'm dilated at all etc, but still... not fun having to drop and spread im. Going to have to actually trim the hedges on a regular basis now heh.
____

We bought a ceiling fan for the nursery :D
Didn't get the expensive one we were eyeballing b/c well.. it's expensive heh.
Just decided a regular white one would work perfectly fine. DH spend ALL day yesterday cussing up a storm while installing it lol. He finally got it done though and it works so yay :D
It's funny... we went with a cheaper fan.... we moved an old tv in to the nursery and DH starts talking about wanting to buy a new tv for the room. Erm... no. lol
I'm usually pretty indecisive when it comes to things like that, but yeah, no. Eventually yes, I would like to get a new tv for the nursery, but right now.. we have other things we NEED to purchase first *nodnod*
So yeah, new tv is on hold until... gosh, probably next year some time.

I'll get photos tomorrow of the nursery. Think we're going to be putting the glider in there tonight or tomorrow and I should have the moon things finished by then so will get some updated photos along with my weekly bump photo :)

Stop looking at me that way!

So dinner last night was... uncomfortable.
I swear, DH's mom and aunt kept looking at me like I had just sprouted 2 heads b/c I don't care what kind of food is going to be at the baby shower.
Seriously... I don't give a flying crap!!
They just kept pestering telling me if I wanted something just say so. Yeah, duh, I know how to speak up and if I did care, I would.
This baby shower isn't for ME... it's being thrown because other people want to do it.
I've never given them any reason to think that I would want one or am the type of person that wants the attention.
Hell, I'm not that picky of an eater so fix whatever the hell they want and I'll show up!
I'm not SiL that had a damn list of every single thing she wanted!
Geeze......
Yeah can already tell this is going to be so... fun... :\
Just a week away and won't have to worry about this crap again!

I have to rant some more about MiL and aunt last night.
SiL mentioned that she wanted to move out of the area. Where? She didn't know. She and her husband don't make a lot of money so it's not like this would be a quick move or anything and she made it clear that it would be YEARS before they would actually really start looking in to it.

Well obviously no one wants her to move away b/c she'd be taking the LO with her, but DH's aunt kinda loud whispered to her
"Don't move my baby away from me." & "You can't move my baby away." when SiL ignored her first comment.
Seriously???
First of all... NOT YOUR BABY! And 2nd.. yeah it will be sad if they move far, but once again.. NOT YOUR BABY and how dare you try to guilt trip them in to staying where they don't want to be!!!
UUUUUUUGH that really pissed me off.

And when the aunt tried to get some backup from MiL... MiL said something that was just..... not right at all.
SiL said something like
"Well you'll have Zoe and *older sister's* litter of kids by the time we move."
MiL chimed in with a comment that was just TERRIBLE...
"Yeah... her (older SiL's) kids can play with *uncle & aunt's name* kids right?"

To clarify... DH's uncle and aunt are infertile and had been trying for at least 12-15years to get pregnant with no success and are at the end of their TTC journey since they're both close to 50 now. Also DH's older sister is over 35 and has bad endo so I guess MiL thinks she'll never have kids either.
Anyway... boy.. her snide little comment really pissed me off. I can only imagine what she said about DH and I behind our backs.
AND nevermind that DH's aunt that was sitting right there is also infertile and could not have children of her own.
Now I love my MiL and she usually doesn't say anything nasty like that, but I guess she wasn't holding back last night.
Yeah it must be nice to get pregnant on birth control like she did and be SO fucking fertile in your prime. We're not all blessed like that so how about STFU about shit you don't know or understand.

And I don't know why they've written other SiL off as well. Yes she has bad endo, but she only JUST got married not too long ago and hasn't really spent much time with her new husband since they're both in the military and are rarely on leave at the same time.
She could get knocked up extremely quick. Yes her age is only slightly up there, but there are plenty of women that get pregnant and have healthy children in their later fertile years.
She could be a baby making machine! Who knows.

Sigh... anyway... family is so frickin frustrating sometimes....

Cliche ahead

Ok... never thought I'd say this... but
I'm SO over certain aspects of being pregnant lol.
Oh don't get me wrong. I do love being pregnant and can not wait to do this all over again a couple more times, but some of the uncomfortable and painful parts... yeah.... I won't be looking forward to those heh.

It just plain SUCKS when you can not get comfortable no matter if you're sitting, standing, or laying down. It's incredibly frustrating.

And this shortness of breath thing.... I will not be sad to see it go. When I was having that problem yesterday, I told DH... I can not even imagine what it's going to be like in a couple of weeks w/ an even bigger and heavier baby. I don't know how I'm going to breath, especially if she does end up 8lbs! Eeep

I know she still needs time to bake in there, but MAN.... I'm ready for her or well..... ready to not be pregnant any longer.
Gosh, I hate even saying that b/c it makes me feel like I'm being ungrateful when logically I know I'm not.
Oh well, I'm sure once it's all over, I'll look back on all of this with very fond memories. Heck even now as I can feel my breath being taken away from me.... I can't wait to eventually do this all again.


EDIT:

I just wanted to clarify that when I rant about FB... it's about family mostly. There are about 3-4 of them that keep posting the crap I hate seeing and it gets on my nerves to no end.
I am NOT complaining about the ladies in my DD group or anyone else that posts photos of their family, or notes about what's going w/ themselves or family etc.

Bad timing!!

Yesterday was awful!!!

Our frickin AC stopped working and it was another 100 degree day outside. BLEH!
Not sure when it started exactly. Was sitting here and the AC unit outside kicked on and I noticed that it was louder and didn't sound right.
Then, I started to notice that it was getting warmer in the house. Pulled out the small step ladder to get close to a vent and sure enough, warm air was being blown out.
I played with the thermostat for a bit, the unit shut off and never came back on.
UUUUUGH....
Called DH, he came home after work and called up his grandpa that knows someone. We called this guy and he eventually made it out to us after he got off of work. He repairs AC's for a living but also does it on the side after work to earn extra money. And lemme tell ya, he must make a ton. For 10mins of his time, we had to pay him $125. It was well spent though b/c he knew immedietly what was wrong! WOO!
Some thing inside the AC... capacitor? I think it's called, just pooped out. So he replaced it and tada! It's working again!
It was up to 89 in the house when it started to work and has taken all night to get it back to 76.
Capacitors only cost.. maybe $20 or a little less/more depending on what you get. So if the AC ever craps out again on us.. at least we know what to look for now and won't have to shell out another $125 if it needs to be replaced heh.
____

It's Friday though! YAY! Don't think we have anything planned for this weekend, but still... it's the weekend! WOO!
Need to start working on the nursery stuff again. WOuld've yesterday but it was too hot to do anything other than sit your butt in front of a fan :P
