Okay Sappy Today I am feeling very sappy--busting with love for my baby!! I know corny right lol. But every time I feel the baby wiggle I just feel like I love them so much. It's also spread to their father--I love him so much and I'm so grateful that he gave me this baby! I have been so hard to deal with I am sure--Pete is such a trooper and even though I am a big meanie 75% of the time he is still nice to me :)
I am excited for this week, it has to be better than last week that's for sure lol. I am freaking out with excitement that I should be able to see my baby this week, my OB's secretary said that when I see them tomorrow they will send a rush request for an ultrasound for me :)
I can't wait I am busting to see baby again!!
Okay that's enough for now lol just know that I am watching sappy videos right now such as Enya and Dave Matthews Band!

Tuna Casserole I have been enjoying tuna casserole so much the past few days!! Such a delicious treat to just be able to grab out of the fridge :)
I've just been referred to an obstetrician to see if I'm a c-section candidate, and because my blood pressure was pretty high at my last appointment. My regular doctor seems to think my baby is going to be huge, and breech, so he's sent me off to this OB. My first appointment is on Monday so we'll see how it goes.
I was supposed to get another ultrasound, and I've waited a couple of days for a call, and I KNEW IT!!! My regular doc never even sent the requisition! AGAIN! They did this last time, then I called the office and got transferred to a nurse who first didn't call me back and then refused to help me. Today I called the office really peed off since my OB wanted me to get this ultrasound rushed, hopefully get in tomorrow or Monday morning. How am I supposed to do that when they didn't even receive a bloody requisition??? Of course I got transferred to the nurse voicemail again, and I get so annoyed because she has this super long useless message, that she freakin repeats in French. How many words does it take to say "leave a message at the beep"??????? She could say it in Spanish and I think we would get the gist after hearing BEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!
I left a ticked off message because I am sick of this crap. I am sick of waiting for an ultrasound that is not bloody coming. So I called the office back and said can you have my doc call me, I don't trust the nurse to call me back (and she didn't, by the way), and the secretary told me the doc is out of the office until Monday. I was freaking out. I called the OB's office and first of all she told me to calm down, not to worry about it, they could still see me Monday, and they would send a requisition for a rush ultrasound on Monday. Thank goodness, finally some competence!!!
The reason I was so ticked off is because my regular dr. makes such a big deal about my high blood pressure, my high blood sugar, my huge baby, and then his office screws up the request for an ultrasound (which they did last time too!!)
I can't wait to see the OB. I am so sick of my regular dr. messing up my ultrasound requests. I have to see a dietician to start following a gestational diabetes diet, even though I don't officially have GD I am at the borderline apparently. The OB might put me on blood pressure meds I guess depending where my bp is on Monday.
School is going well :) I already have a couple of huge projects on the go, they're not due for a while but they're group projects so will require meetings outside of class time etc. I'm finding the material really interesting but it's really different than what I'm used to (accounting is more of a solitary pursuit!) It's nice to get out of the house for a couple hours each day, although stay tuned for complaining lol.
I had a nice surprise from Barb the other day (baby's grandma) and it was a sweet little onesie for the baby, with an mini Anne Geddes book of poems, and some little socks, and an encouraging card (it's true my emotions are like a teeter totter these days!!). It really made me smile and the items are so so cute :)
I called a couple of people to invite them to my baby shower (my sis told me I am having one woooo hooooo but she didn't say when) and guess what none of them called me back. I emailed another girl and she said she wouldn't feel comfortable not knowing anyone else at the shower. It's upsetting since I would go to their showers if any of them invited me, but oh well. I only want people there who really want to be there anyways!!!
And it's so nice to think of having one, it warms my heart a lot :)
Well that's all for now, past couple of days have been stressful but I'm hoping to be able to stay calm, try to get my emotions under control, it's hard because I seem lately to get ten times more mad, or sad or whatever now then I normally would. Poor Pete! But he is doing well comforting me.

Here comes the Bear! When I wake up at night I am in a terrible mood. Annoyed at being awake, my nose (congestion) is usually driving me nuts, I have to pee, and I'm starving! Not only am I starving, but what I want to eat is super specific and usually not in the house. Then I get mad while I get hungrier and hungrier!
So tonight the same thing happened, and you know what saved the day? Turkey soup! I warmed up this delicious, chunky turkey soup that Barb made and gave to me and it was so so wonderful. It hit the spot and baby was kicking away after I ate so we were both happy :) Thank you so so much Barb it was absolutely wonderful and so appreciated! I am so nice and full now that I can go lay back down and I'm sure I'll sleep like a little lamb (fall asleep like a lamb and wake up like a bear haha!).

So Emotional So yesterday I was really emotional, crying at the drop of a hat. Then I woke up at three am and had to pee and then eat, which is normal every two hours at night now. I stayed up and watched She's Having a Baby with Kevin Bacon, and the end was so sweet that I was bawling loudly and uncontrollably. Pete came out and comforted me, and he said that when he went to sleep I was crying, when he woke up I was crying again lol.
Something weird since I've been pregnant is my sore wrists, they will ache and ache, but seem to get a lot better when I load up on cheese and milk. It's got to be related to needing calcium because I notice the pain comes around at the same time as I start to crave cheese products. Then I eat the dairy like a banshee and my wrists feel better. Very odd!
I got an Anne Geddes day planner and a wall calender, I just love them! I was up late another night and browsing her website and I was literally getting shivers looking at all the beautiful baby stuff and thinking about my lovely baby. I would love to get a print or two to have framed for the baby's room, we already have the calender up in there. (Baby is sleeping in our room but the other room is still their's and will have the changing table, clothes, supplies etc.).
I went to the college on Friday, and got my timetable for my courses starting this Monday. I am super excited to start (although stay tuned for inevitable complaining) and am already registered. On Monday I have my appointment to get my books and everything else I need so I am hoping everything goes well. My schedule is nice and light, fifteen hours in a week of classes. The classes are interesting one is Sociology of the Family. I am happy to have something that will help my third tri go by quickly :)
I was talking to my accounting professor, and she told me that she spoke to the lady who interviewed me for this great government job in accounting in 2007. Apparently I did really really well at the interview and they just chose someone who had more experience. I really wanted that job badly, it had everything I wanted. But it is a relief to know that I did so well at the interview. I am still going to apply for good accounting jobs after I have the baby, even though I'm looking at college now I'm not crazy and if the opportunity comes up (especially for a government job) I'll jump at it. It just hurts not to get something you want so much!!
I have my next appointment on Tuesday, I am freaking out about how much weight I gained over the holidays. It's going to be insane! Hopefully everything else is hunky dory though, I never received a call about a bad gestational diabetes test result, hopefully that's not just because no one looked at the file due to the holidays. I will not be happy if I get a nasty surprise about this test at my appointment, they should pay more attention to these things and tell the patient right away of any bad results.
Anyway, that's it for now, I'm off to do some reading!
