so much fail
I've wanted to post, but typing on the laptop is a nightmare.
Not much really interesting in life right now, so here's some highlights of the boredom:
1. Nesting has kicked in, for both of us. Two weeks before leaving for work, Joe jumped in on getting the nursery started. All the unneeded furniture is out, the wallpaper peeled off like candy wrappers, it was so easy, and the bed is bead blasted and repainted, and set up up there. The walls are mostly done but for some cutting in. Next big jobs up there are finishing the walls and refinishing my old dresser to match the crib/changing table, which have to be put together. It's pretty awesome up there.
2. Had my 28 week appointment. Blood clot is all gone, no cyst showing any longer (they checked again). Got a brief 3D face shot and she yawned emphatically. Was cute. Did my GD 1 hour test that day and failed in spectacular fashion (191).
3. Had the three hour test two days ago and failed THAT in spectacular fashion. 80 fasting, 232 1 hour, 200+ 2 hour, 75 3 hour? Apparently my blood sugar works like my fucked up blood pressure, go me. I have to pick up my meter today, and I have classes next week and the week after. I'm feeling super ill from upping my protein. I think I'm seriously on the road to have every "threatening to the mother" pregnancy complication in existence or something.
4. Got the carseat blanket pretty much done. Now working on one that matches the pack n play, then I gotta do the crib afghan, which I have no idea how to count for, since it's going to be mattress size and not arbitrary sized like the baby blankets (which are generally 41-43" squares).
5. Been working my butt off in general since Joe left for work Saturday (10 dayish trip this go, then home for a couple weeks, then a month gone in April). I half finished the bathroom, the kitchen is totally usable, including having dishes, silverware and pots and pans (things piled up when I was on bedrest), and the dogs are going to have scrubbed crates today (I got crate pads, hoping they can't yank them out like they did the towels). I'm hoping I can get the crates done, the tub and sink cleaned, then I can go out and get my meter.
6. I would kill just about anyone right now for some Easter candy. =(
7. Installed WoW on the laptop. At most, I can do archaeology in the old world. Not tried in BC areas yet. Org is useless, and the video settings are cranked all the way down, but I can do little things at least. Sucks the laptop overheats to unbearable in about an hour.
