Week in Review

So not too much went on this week but I'll post the highlights. on Monday i had a doctors appointment and everything is looking good with the baby. I'm measuring a little bit bigger than i should, but that was expected for me since moma measured big as well. i had to do the glucose testing while i was there. on Tuesday i just stayed home and relaxed. i have been sleeping so poorly lately that I've become a little zombie like. i know that your body prepares for when the baby comes by giving you sleepless nights, but this is seriously out of control. i have been averaging about 3-4 hours per night for the last 2 weeks. i just can't fall asleep at night and then if i wake up to go potty, i can't fall back asleep so i have been doing a lot of reading and TV watching and just plain old tossing and turning. there is nothing more frustrating than being super tired and not being able to fall asleep. my brain just seems to be working 100 miles an hour. i think of everything for hours at night. it's nuts. the doctor told me to just try and relax and if i couldn't fall asleep, to get up and do something. it's like i have ADD. then on Wednesday (i think) the doctor called me and said that my glucose test came back a little bit high and that i would have to go in for the 4 hour glucose pain in the butt test for gestational diabetes. so i was a little bummed. he also said that i was anemic which also depressed me. so now i have to take iron pills for the remainder of my pregnancy. at least maybe i will have more energy! on Friday i went into dadi's work and watched the shop while he went on a delivery. he also said he would start paying me each week to come in and clean the place so i took him up on that offer so that i could get some spending cash. the only scary part was that i had to clean the bathroom and i knew it was going to be a tough job the first time around. once i removed the 9 years of grime it wouldn't be too bad. (literally- the bathroom had never once been cleaned in 9 years- it was horrible) so i spent the majority of Friday morning in the nasty bathroom scrubbing the floor on my hands and knees and then on to the toilet and the sink. i also Mr clean magic erasered the walls as well. it looks so much better but 9 years of grime doesn't come off too easily so some one new to the place wouldn't think it was very clean. i also swept the floors of the warehouse, vacuumed the office part and dusted the desks and computers and stuff. i wasn't finished when dadi came back so i had him take moma to chuck "e" cheeses. when he got back, i was pretty worn out and i collected my earnings (with a nice tip from dadi) and went home and took a shower. once i sat down, i couldn't get back up. my back hurt so much and I've been hobbling around ever since. i over did it big time and i regret it. he told me not to, but i didn't listen. i felt fine while i was cleaning but once i stopped, my body just shut down. dadi brought home CPK for me on his way home from work and we had a nice afternoon/evening. we were supposed to go out on a date and have my mom watch moma, but after the day i had, i decided to stay in and relax. it was best since i couldn't move too well. we did go to the mall later in the evening to get a new book to read. moma kept telling me to "get the lead out". dadi taught her to say that and he thinks it's so funny! today i went to the doctors office to get my glucose testing done. i was there from 9:00 until 1:00. i had to have my blood drawn 4 times. it wasn't too fun. since i had the time, i decided that i would see the doctor at the after hours clinic for this cold i have. i just can't seem to get better and it's been over a month so he examined me and put me on antibiotics. hopefully they can get this thing out of my system once and for all.! oh, i couldn't eat before or during the glucose testing so by the time i was done, i was so hungry. i had to go and get a couple of things from Sam's club on my way home so i stopped there and after i shopped, i got a pretzel. while i was waiting for it, i felt like i was going to pass out. everything went a little bit black for a second and i started shaking and sweating really bad. i have never been so close to fainting and not fainted. i had to sit down and a women came up and asked me if i was okay. i told her i just needed to eat and was waiting for my pretzel. it was a little bit scary. once i got my pretzel, i sat down and ate it and it took a little while for me to feel better. then i drove home and relaxed the rest of the day. dadi picked up the house and back yard and gave moma a bath while i was gone. what an awesome mother's day present!! tomorrow we are going to my grandmas house in hemet for the day. a lot of the family is going to be there so it should be nice. I'm bringing our swimsuits so that we can swim in her pool. she lives in a mobile home community and it has a nice pool that none of the old geezers use so hopefully we will have it to ourselves. i just hope that moma can be her usually chipper self tomorrow and be cute and fun for the relatives that haven't seen her for awhile.
