We had a bit of a screw up with our 37 week appointment this afternoon. Apparently my appointment was scheduled for 1:45, but we thought it was at 2:15. So, we missed my doctor because she got called over to deliver a baby. {And then Bryan said, “that could be us!} So I saw a … Continue reading 37 week update
I’m sitting here at 6:30 on a Monday night and barely awake. I felt the same way during my lunch hour. I could easily curl up {sort of} and close my eyes. Probably not opening them for hours. Instead, I pushed through the haze and went back to work, yawning my way through the afternoon. … Continue reading Our working household
We’ve reached the last major pregnancy milestone…9 months! Only three weeks to go until LBL 2.0 arrives. 🙂 I’m doing well in most aspects. I’m wearing down earlier each day and I’m spending more time on the couch trying to rest. It doesn’t do much for getting things done, keeping the house picked up, or … Continue reading 36 weeks!
I wrote about my glucose test experience here. I survived it, barely. The next day I was in a meeting with the team I worked with at the beginning of my career. They have spouses who work with my mother-in-law so I told them I’d had four blood draws the previous day. We commented on … Continue reading Glucose update
Life has been hectic. I basically traveled October away. When I was home I was doing laundry and cleaning the house. I only cooked one real meal during the month and it was when Bryan was at a football game. Maximus loved it enough for both of them and requested seconds. Of course he refused … Continue reading A short update on my busy life
On October 4, I passed the 7 month mark. It was like any other day, except I had to take my one-hour glucose test. I also had to pack for a seven day work trip. Besides those two things, I also had to make sure my house had food and was cleaned for the babysitters … Continue reading 28 weeks {7 months}
Week 26 Thursday, September 20 – New outfit! This shirt is really long when I’m not pregnant so I knew it would be a good maternity shirt! It’s not form fitting, even with a 6 1/2 month belly, so I got to wear a belt. You know, since I’m in love with belts. Except it … Continue reading What I wore: Week 26
It’s 3-hour glucose testing time! I’m sitting in the waiting room at the hospital lab. It’s a little before 6:30 am and I’ve already had my blood drawn once and have been sitting on a liter of sweet drink for about 30 minutes. I’m not sure exactly what to expect. So far LBL 2.0 Â is … Continue reading My 3 hour glucose experience
I don’t do a lot of traveling for work. I can usually count on one hand the number of times I have to be gone during the year. I have an annual trip every fall and then a few other meetings throughout. Sometimes I try to get a training in somewhere, but life gets pretty … Continue reading Lots of traveling, none of it relaxing
I got a call from my stand-in nurse last week. I was getting ready for the day, it was 6:15 Pacific time and a sleepy-eyed husband brought my phone into the bathroom. I missed the call, but listened to the voicemail on my elevator ride to my meeting. It was a simple, “call me back.” … Continue reading At 28 weeks, I failed my first test
