Some days I'm pretty relaxed about the baby & others (like today) I think it was hard enough with one child! Like Sassy & La Mere I feel bad for DS that I don't have the energy to play & run around all the time & I can see he's getting frustrated, but then I think, well I'm not going to be able to do that when the baby is here either. I hope he copes with it as he really doesn't seem to understand that we're having a baby.
As for the money thing, I can imagine how hard that would be. We're fine at the moment, but depending how big a mortgage we end up taking when we buy a new house, finances could be much tighter
La Mere - I'm so sorry you're worried about where you'll be when you give birth What is the situation with your house? I hope you work something out... does DH know how you're feeling?
Well... GRR! I called the drs office because they hadn't called me. So now, I have to go to the drs office monday to get RE TESTED! She wanted me to go tomorrow, I was like: ehm.. no?! If you would of called me before, I would of planned the whole thing! And she told me she had 2 weeks to call me anyhow... grrr! So now, I have a Drs monday as well as re-testing for the glucose. And I have to go to Houston on Wednesday... joy!
My doctor told me they don't do the one hour test anymore as it's a waste of time because everyone fails it. So we just do the 2hr test and get jabbed 3 times in the 2 hours. Mines booked for tomorrow morning. I'm nervous because I think I'm a lil more likely to have it because of my high blood pressure. I mean that would be the icing on the effing cake wouldn't it? Having GD as well as high BP. But I guess no point in getting too stressed about it until the results are in.
I haven't stopped crying in three days because I'm so stressed. I only slept for 4 hours last night (3 the night before and 5 the night before that), then went to my glucose test this morning. It was horrible. I sat there and cried for 3 1/2 hours. My arms look like I'm a heroine user and feel like pin cushions. And my back hurts from sitting in their uncomfortable chairs for hours. I finally got to go home and eat, then took a nap. Then I get a call from my Dr's office saying the lab messed up ANOTHER blood test (the one for the cholestasis) and I have to get more blood drawn tomorrow. I am so fed up. This is the third blood test they've messed up. So, now I have to have MORE blood taken (from where, I don't know... my arms can't take much more) and then wait AGAIN for the results. Meanwhile, I am so itchy I can't stand it, and my face, arms and legs are red and raw from scratching. I've had it. I can't take much more.

Deedee - hope you pass this time
La Mere - I wish you could give birth in your house! How exciting to build your own place, but super stressful too, even without a child & baby on the way, so I understand how hard it must be. It might not be ideal if you don't get to move in for the birth, but you'll be ok and you'll be in there with your family soon enough
I think we all need a pint of Ben & Jerry's tonight. Sending some Phish Food, Chubby Hubby, and What a Cluster your way!
