Yesterday's Appt

My appt went pretty good, I lost two pounds in the past 3 weeks (woo hoo!). As I expected, the Dr does want to take Bebe a lil earlier than we planned. So, Sailor will be home in about 6 weeks, and Bebe will be born a few days later. We haven't nailed down an exact induction date yet, but I think we're going to try and shoot for about Oct 16. Bad news is, Sailor won't be here for Halloween. I was really wanting him and Princess to get to go trick or treating together, but I guess they'll have to do some other father/daughter bonding.

31 Weeks!

As of yesterday, I am 31 weeks pregnant! Sailor will be here in less than 8 weeks, and Bebe in 8 1/2 weeks! I'm so excited! I can't believe how close it is! I'm really anxious about Wednesday's appt. I'll hopefully find out for sure when we're going to have her. We're supposed to induce on Oct 25, but since I have Gestational Diabetes, we might induce a little earlier. Sailor wants to go ahead and request leave, so we need to know! Part of me wants to wait til the 25th so that Sailor can be here for Halloween to take Princess trick or treating. But, part of me wants to go earlier because I've had terrible pelvic pain lately. I'm also a little nervous that if we try and wait til the 25th, she'll end up coming early. All of the babies in my family have been late, but I'm still getting nervous. I'll update after my appt.

In other news, our house is now on the market! It was listed on Friday. Keep your fingers crossed that it sells fast!

Sucky News

I got my results back yesterday and I have Gestational Diabetes. I'm kinda shocked and pretty bummed about it. I feel perfectly normal and healthy, I really wasn't expecting this. My doctor's office is setting me up for some diet counseling or something, but I really don't know what to do until then. I didn't really need another reason to be in a bad mood, but I guess I have one now! LOL I'm still doing water aerobics every day and I cut out sweets a couple weeks ago, so I'm trying. Unfortunately, this means that Bebe might have to come a little earlier than we planned. I know that I can't plan out everything exactly the way I want, but I did want her to be a Scorpio and I did want her to be born close enough to Halloween that Sailor would be able to take Princess trick or treating. If she comes early, he'll already be gone by Halloween. As it is now, he'll be leaving the day after Halloween. I guess I'll know more after my appt next week.

5 Years!

Today is mine and Sailor's 5th Anniversary! I can't believe it! It doesn't really feel like it since we're not together, but at least I got to talk to him and he sent me a sweet e-card. We didn't do gifts since we just bought eachother laptops before he left. As of tomorrow...Sailor will be here in 9 weeks and Bebe in 9 1/2 weeks! I'm so excited! I can't believe how fast it's going, 9 weeks sounds so short! I'm freaking out a little, though, because I'm not at all prepared! I'll be buying stuff for her soon, though. Our house should be on the market by next week, today is the last day that my FIL's working on it, and then hopefully the cleaning lady will come this weekend and then it'll be ready to be bought! I hope it sells soon, I'm getting tired of paying a mortgage for a house that I'm not living in.

10 More Weeks!

10 more weeks til my hubby is home! I'm so excited! I had a Dr's appt on Tuesday and my glucose levels were slightly elevated. So, I have to go take the 3 hour test. Dr said that if he was willing to bet, he'd bet that I don't have gestational diabetes, but gotta find out for sure anyway! So, I cut out the excess sugar (Apple Jacks, ice cream, chocolate covered granola bars) and am now eating a little healthier (Cheerios, reduced fat wheat thins and mozz cheese). I'm sooo missing my nightly bowl of ice cream, though! And yesterday, they were eating chocolate cake on tv, it looked soooo good! Other than that, everything's going great! I'm still in a little pain from time to time (pelvic pain), but it's not too bad. The heat is killing me, but I'm doing water aerobics every day, so at least I get lots of time in the water! I'm 29 weeks today, so Sailor will be home in 10 weeks and Bebe will be here in 29 1/2 weeks. Unless, of course, I have gestational diabetes, then I might be seeing them both a little earlier. I got an u/s at my appt, Bebe is still definitely a girl! I wasn't too worried about that, but it's always nice to have confirmation when I'm far enough long for it to be VERY obvious! LOL I've gained 20 lbs, but I'm still doing pretty good, Dr's not concerned and I think my muscle weight will kinda slow down some now since I've been working out for almost 4 weeks now. I'm getting a nice tan, mostly on my chest and arms, but my face and legs are getting some sun, too. Nothing on the belly, but I'm gonna start using Self Tanner on that to even me out a lil. LOL Speaking of the belly...it's HUGE. I wish I had a belly pic to share, but none have been taken yet. It's been so hard to adjust to living one bedroom. I'm getting so tired of being in this room, but Princess terrorizes the entire house if I let her out, so we just stayin our bedroom. I'm also hating sharing a room with her, I need my space, she's just in my face and all over me all the time! She's actually being good and playing by herself right now, it's a rarity!

So Sad

My fingers have been swelling off and on lately...fine in the mornings, swollen at night. Last week I finally had to take my ring off because it was irritating my skin when I was swollen. My finger hasn't healed yet, and everytime I look at it, I'm so sad. I needed my wedding ring on my finger. Now I just feel empty. I'm really trying to be independant while he's gone, but there's so many things that I just can't do by myself. I hate feeling so helpless. I also have no way of contacting him. He can call me when he needs to, but I haven't been able to figure out how to call him. I refuse to just sit around and hope that he'll get online, but we do make plans to be online together and I'm getting sick of being stood up. Sometimes he'll fall asleep after work and not wake up in time to get online and talk to me, or something else will come up. Either way, I'm tired of feeling like he has all the control here. Whether intentionally or not, I'm basically forced to wait around on him to email, im, or call me. I'm having an exceptionally BAD day today. I attempted to put together a computer armoire by myself. There wasn't really anyone around to help me and I really thought I could do it myself. I usually do these types of things, but Sailor's always around if I need help. Well, I broke two pieces. So now I have to wait for the replacement parts to come in before I get a desk. I needed to talk to Sailor to calm myself down, but I tried to call and I can't get it to work. I just feel stupid and incompetent today, nothing's working right and I wish I could just go to bed and stay there all day.

I'll have a more positive update on my life when I'm having a better day.

ETA: I talked to Sailor and he had given me the wrong number. He didn't know his number when he first got his phone, so he asked someone else and they told him the wrong number. So, I'm not a complete idiot, I just had the wrong damn number. I am feeling better after talking to him, though.
