Never a Dull Moment

I think this is the first time in two weeks that I've had time to just sit down and veg. Only six more weeks until the baby comes, and I CAN'T WAIT!

Turns out that while my counts have been lower than target, there have been a few my doctor is worried about. That, and waking up in the middle of the night to do the obligatory bathroom run and being so dizzy that I had to hold on to the wall to get there. That was early Sunday morning, and by the time the alarm went off to get me up on Monday morning, it was still there. Not too bad, but enough that I woke hubby and Little Guy up to drive me to work because I was afraid to get behind the wheel of a car.

So in response, I am now on a medication that will help my pancreas create more insulin on it's own. AND from now until the baby is born I am going into the hospital twice a week for a Non Stress Test, once a week for an Ultrasound, seeing the Dietitian once a week to check on my blood count/sugar count and once a week to the OB for my usual checkups. This is in addition to working with 26 darlings every day, having to prep for them, take the required new teacher classes and the training for my new SmartBoard (all before baby comes!). AND since nobody (but the hospital) sees their patients after 3 or 3:30 in the afternoon, I get ABSOLUTELY no work done at school. **Sigh** Back to grading papers in the evening and on weekends. I had just about eliminated that. Oh, I almost forgot, let's throw in two evening of baptism classes (because although I am there every single stinking Sunday, I still have to do it and be preached to about stuff I already do!). And Little Guy's Birthday at the end of the month. **Sigh** But as long as it means a healthy and happy baby, it's all good.

On a brighter note, hubby, with assistance from Little Guy, got Baby L's room all cleaned out and painted a beautiful shade of pink. Then this past Monday the new carpet came in for the two kids rooms. It is starting to really look like a baby's room. All we need to do is hang the border and then we can move in the baby furniture and I can start going through the boxes and boxes of STUFF we have from Little Guy to see what I can use for Baby L. Start washing and putting away stuff, not to mention to start putting away all the clothes that my mom has bought since she found out we were pregnant again.

Hubby went to the storage shed to get the baby stuff the other day, and it turns out that we have over 10 Xerox boxes of clothes left over from Little Guy, from newborn to about 4T. And since we're having a girl and my sister is having a girl (did I mention she is pregnant too, about ten weeks behind me?) I am not saving it any more. Mom kept on saying to keep it in case I had another boy, and I did, just to humor her. Because even if we were to have another boy, she'd still go out and clothe that child, even with all the clothes we had from Little Guy. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, and I do not have to clothe my child. My mom is super shopper and hits the sales. Any clothes that I buy for Little Guy are because I want to, not because I need to. And it helps that his birthday is just as the Spring and Summer season come upon us, because I don't have to buy him clothes, he gets it for his birthday! Yea!

Anyway, the whole point of that is that I am going to have one stinking big garage sale in late April or early May. I'm getting rid of clothes and toys! We have more toys coming out of our ears than we know what to do with. And he keeps on getting more! Maybe we'll make enough out of the garage sale to finance the gas to San Diego this summer. You never know!
