Update
It's been a long week. I started on insulin Monday evening- John gets to give me the shots. I can barely feel them, and it's not really that big a deal except I have essentially felt like crap since starting on them. I have a few good hours when I first get up and then I am a giant slug, scarcely able to move from the sofa! I'm hoping to adjust soon to them and feel better. Sadly, I'm expecting that my dosage will have to be increased this week as well as my fasting blood sugars are still over 100.
Jules is growing, measuring at 34 weeks (although I am not quite 32 weeks). My c-section is scheduled for October 11th, the day after John's 26th b-day. My doctor doesn't think that I will make it that far, so we will see. Speaking of October, I'd like to have a small surprise birthday party for John- that Sat. the 9th. Since I will either be at the end of my pregnancy or have a new baby, I thought we could just have cake and punch and a few appetizers. Anyone up for it? He'd never expect me to try and pull it off this year, which is exactly why I want to do it. :)
Have spent some quality time with Joe this week, and Joe has enjoyed playing with Nico and Lynne from Pennsylvania. We caught up briefly with Daiana and Riley, and that's about it this week. Joe is now at the train tracks with his Daddy, watching the VRE come in. He really loves that train thing. Friday we get the carpets cleaned and scotch-guarded (part of my 5-point plan for post baby happiness- clean and organize every room, paint the living room with child-proof paint, clean the carpets, decorate Jules' room and finish the yard) and then it's back to work for me. Woo!
