First NST results
I've been updating like crazy this week! I like crowding out your friends pages.
I went to the hospital for an NST on Friday. They hooked me up to this computer to monitor the heart beat and gave me this little button thing to click every time I felt her move. It actually took longer than my doctor said it would - over half an hour connected to the monitor. The good news is that her heart beat seemed strong, as well as her movements (as usual). Every time she kicked, it registered on the printout even bigger than her heart beat. I'm telling you, she's beating me up from the inside!! The bad news is there was a moment where her heart beat completely disappeared, and I don't know what that means. They were going to keep me for further monitoring but ended up letting me leave. I just wish I knew what it meant. I will remain optimistic that it is okay, and they wouldn't have let me leave if it wasn't.
This dial up is driving me crazy. It's not horrible, but I think I'm just too impatient. I've been playing a lot of solitaire while waiting for pages to load. Maybe I try to do too many things at the same time and it's making it worse. I've been spoiled by cable internet for too long. But hey, at least we have internet.
Yesterday my mother in law and sister in law stopped by to visit, which was nice. Before that my boss came to my house. WEIRD. Rob had gotten vouchers for her husband and son to go to the motocross event at the Palace, so she stopped by to get them from me so that I didn't have to make a trip to give them to her. It was nice of her, but there's just something unsettling about having your boss visit your house... it's ironic though that RIGHT after she left, my mother in law stopped by, and these two ladies know each other and don't particularly like each other.
Yesterday was also cleaning day, and I think I'll be doing some more tonight while the Grammies take over TV. Nesting mode has begun. Well water turns my tub and toilet orange. I think I pulled something trying to scrub the shower... lol.
I'm so tired, but it seems like there's so much to do coming up. Twice a week driving to and from the hospital, which will most likely be on work days too since they are Tuesdays and Fridays (days they like to work me at night because they don't want to). I have an appointment to sign up for WIC at 9:30 on Wednesday. Next Sunday is the diaper party, and I still don't know where it is going to be. I hope it will be here. A lady at Rob's work offered to throw one for us, but it seems that no one wants to go if it's at her house. Something about Little Hitler. And having it at a bar may not be such a good idea either. It's probably not good for me to be around smoke, and it would mean even more driving. The only times I don't get motion sickness is when I'm driving the short distances to and from work. I'm not the one to make these decisions, though.
We won a car off of eBay. A Crown Imperial. I don't know what color it is, but it will probably be another "Old [insert color here]", just like Old Blue. We'll be like a tank fleet. But it holds a car seat, and that was our only requirement for buying a car (aside from cheapness). Everything is looking up, money wise. Rob's hours picked up. The car was just a little bit over our entire tax return, but we still have our $510 in the bank, the money coming in May from Bush's rebate, and whatever money we make off of Rob's truck (minus a new windshield). Seems like we'll be just fine when I'm not working after our daughter is here.
