All registered and ready to go

Here we are, week 26, and we have only 12 to go (remember I have C/s and Dr. G does them 10 days before the due date). Anyway, I went with a friend to register the other day at Babies R Us. It is amazing how many new things they have for babies since E was born. And that was not too long ago! Carters now makes this super soft line of sheets and bedding accessories and (you won't believe this) they have ORGANIC crib sheets. Yes, you read that correctly.

I admit one of the things I need desperately is more crib sheets (mothers of one infant: double what you use and add two so I can skip a laundry day if needed). Point made? So I admit I registered for a few (6) crib sheets. LOL. I had to go back for formula yesterday and found it necessary to buy one of these sheets for E now. I bought a sage green one and it is beautiful. So soft and luxurious.

The other place we are registered is USA Baby. I had a hard time with this one. Mostly because the nearest one for the Flower Mound/Lewisville crowd is Frisco (a traffic-laden 20 minute drive). However, they are the only store that carries my stroller and the matching bedding (to E' crib) for the new baby. I will need a double stroller (a lifeline for parents with two babies I hear) and I was looking for one that would fit my current infant car seat. Presto! Found it all at USA Baby. The good thing about them is it can be purchased online and shipped. The bad thing is you can't see what you're buying.

Who knew I would need anything for a baby I am having so soon after E? Especially another girl baby. My head is swimming in thoughts of how this is all going to work out anyway. Frazzled was never a big word in my vocabulary but I might start trying it on for size...

Nope...not there yet. Ask me in a few weeks.

Still no call...

Ok, as of tomorrow morning it will be a week since the dreaded glucose test and I still have not heard from Dr. G's people. I think it is safe to assume that I passed the test. YAY! In fact, I just polished off a Cadbury egg for dessert. Yum.

I still have to go in and have the baby checked for growth. I am praying all is well and it is just an extra chance for me to see my baby girl. It may be awhile before I see her again. Since I had diabetes with E, I got to have weekly sonograms and NSTs (non-stress tests) but not this time. This very well may be my last sono. Sad when you think of it that way. July seems so far away.

Could it be???

Normally my Dr's office calls early in the morning to tell me if I have failed a blood test. When I was pregnant with E, they called at 8:30 the next day to tell me I had to go in for the 3 hour test. Well I took my test Thursday and it is now Monday night and no call from their office.

This could mean one of two things. 1. I passed the test (YAY) or 2. Dr. G has been out of the office and has not had time to read my results and inform the nurses of the next step.

I really think that they would have had another Dr. look at it if the tests had been out of range and Dr. G was out, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I guess I will know for sure on Friday.

Cold Good Friday

I have not been able to post much this week. J had the computer in his room until yesterday. Now, I am happy to say, the computer is in it's new room and I can actually use the computer after 8pm. YAY!

We had this freak cold front blow through this week and it's supposed to get even colder this weekend. We are going to Brad's parent's today and they are predicting snow up there tomorrow. Brrrr. Here in Big D they even have a chance of snow reported for Sunday morning. What a fun Easter Egg hunt that will be. Everyone bring out your gloves and find some eggs in the freezing temps. Poor girls who already had their beautiful sundresses ready to go. I need to find E a sweater at least.

So, I had the glucose test yesterday. It wasn't too horrible. I felt like I had eaten a pound of jelly beans. Yuck! I will have results by Monday. I also have to go back for a sonogram next week to check this size of the baby and make sure she is growing well. Apparently the top of my uterus is measuring small. Nothing too alarming, just another thing to worry about for another week.

So...off we go to Oklahoma...where the wind (and snow) comes sweeping down the plain....

The room!!!

Here it is. We are missing two things (well three if you want to get technical). I can't decide what to do about the valance. I love the fact that E has a nice view from the rocking chair of the trees and the sky. She loves to look out while she takes a bottle. However, the valance is just beautiful and my favorite part of the bedding. It is pink toile and gingham check.

The other two things that are missing are the other crib (still in E's old room) and the bedding for the new baby (Ebay here we come)...I guess we are missing the new baby too. LOL! E seems to love her room. She has a lot of space to crawl around and explore. Here are some pics. They don't do the room justice. It is absolutely beautiful!!!!

B is home!!!!!

B finally got home from San Miguel last night. His flight arrived at DFW around 10:30 pm, then we had to wait over an hour because they lost his bags. Grrrr!!! So, it was a late night.

I finished the baby's room just in the nick of time as I was running out the door. (I was literally hammering nails in the wall at 9:45pm). I could not have finished it without my mom and dad. Dad helped paint the tall parts I can't reach and hung the blinds; and my mom put up the wallpaper border and convinced me the room needed the wood blinds instead of pull down shades. I am so much happier with the choice. So, thanks guys!

B loved his surprise. It was nothing compared to the present he bought me in Mexico. It is a gorgeous garnet (my birth stone) necklace with lots of silver and sparkly things. I don't really have any maternity things that match it, but it gives me a great excuse to shop.

It is so good having him home. The old saying is really true. You never realize what a good thing you have until it's gone. Welcome home B!!!
