22 wk update

Okay so I am not very good at this updating thing. So here it goes. Me and my "passengers" as the receptionist at the Dr.'s office calls them, went to see the OB yesterday. He actually did a few things! I was measured. His comment was "it is definatly expanding!' Yeah I know, thank you. He listened to the heatbeats. We got to hear them but Dr. G was not sure if it was only one he was hearing or both. Sometimes they beat together. I told him I was always short of breath. His response was, "yeah, that happens, just relax." Okay but how do I sleep at night?! My blood pressure was good. I am going on Saturday to do the Gestational Diabetes test. That is where I have to drink this sugary orange drink (does not taste like orange soda!) and then wait an hour and they test my blood. With Sarah I failed that test and had to go back in for the 3 hour test. That is where I drink the crap and then every hour for three hours they test my blood to make sure my levels do go down. If they don't then I am labeled as being a gestational diabetic. The only thing I can do from there is to eat really good, maybe do insulin, depending on how severe. The only cure is to deliver the babies. If I have this I could also end up delivering big babies. So I would really need to watch it. I go back in 4 weeks. I see the high risk OB December 1st. I dread going to him becuase they take forever to scan the babies and measure them. I always have to have them stop in the middle because I can't breath. So frustrating!

Sarah is doing well. She is at preschool this whole week becuase daycare is closed. She is loving being at school everyday. I am thinking of taking her out of daycare and just keeping her in school since she loves it so much. I was talking to the teacher yesterday and she was telling me that the boys just love her! She tells them what to do and they just do it! So cute. She calls them "her boys." I think we are going to have to watch out for this little girl! The letter of the week is I. For share she wanted to bring ice cream! Smart, but no I wouldn't let her.

Next week is Thanksgiving. Tim and Sarah will put up our new fake tree while I make a side for dinner. Then we will go to my Grandmother and Grandfather Thiele's house in NP for dinner. My Aunt Donna is coming down to cook. This gives my mother a break. So I am excited to see Aunt Donna and Uncle Randy (if he can come). It will be a nice day. Then I am off Friday, first time in 10 years I have been off! I think Sarah and I will just hang out. I am not up to shopping with all the crazies on Black Friday. Either Saturday or Sunday my dad will come over and paint the nursery for us since Tim has to work and I can't get on a ladder. I ordered the bedding so as soon as that comes in I have to match paint. It is getting exciting! Between now and then I have to get Tim to help me clean out the room. The question is, where to put all the crap!!?? I have a feeling we will be donating a lot of it. :-( There is no room at the inn anymore.

Well that is all the news I have for now. Hope everyone is well.
