I got my test results back from my three hour glucose tolerance test and I am gestational diabetes free! Yippee!! I am so relieved, you have no idea! On another note, Travis is still in NJ on business and he's not sure if he'll be able to come home tomorrow yet. I am praying that he can since I miss him like crazy!
I can't believe that my little baby girl is about to turn 2 on Sunday! It seems like yesterday we were on our way to the hospital... Time has certainly flown by! We're having her birthday party on Saturday. Nothing too big, just family and a few friends. I am doing the cooking, so I didn't want a whole house full like last year! Travis and I can't wait to give her her new kitchen. I think she's going to love it! We really went overboard on gifts this year, but since this will be her last year as the 'only child', we wanted to make it special for her. Travis has to go away for business on Monday morning. He was originally supposed to go on Saturday or Sunday, but we nixed that one pretty quick. First of all, her party is on Saturday, secondly, her real birthday is Sunday along with the Superbowl. Not that I'm a football fan by any means, but the thought of him being by himself on Caitlin's birthday and the Superbowl was just not okay with me. So, he talked to his boss and all is good. He can leave on Monday. Caitlin and I will be staying with my parents, since I hate being without him. He's going to have to go back again sometime mid-February for 1 night, and Caitlin and I will go with him that time. We plan on going to see NYC quickly too. I know there's a lot to see, but I've always wanted to just 'see' it, no matter how quickly. I'll take what I can get! I'm actually kind of looking forward to it! Other than that, not too much is new. We're still waiting to hear on the local job. I would be THRILLED if he got it, and it paid what it needs to. The only other snag is, we'd need the health insurance to kick in immediately because of the baby on the way. But, we'll see. I am praying that all goes well though. He would be less than 5 minutes away, rather than 50 minutes away. It would solve so many problems too, including not having to sell the house and move immediately! I could use all the prayers I can get! Time for bed. I have to get the 3 hour glucose test done tomorrow morning since I failed the 1 hour one.  Please pray that all goes well and that I am gestational diabetes free!

Well, I just got a call from my doctor telling me that I flunked my glucose tolerance test! Now, I have to go back and get the 3 hour one done! Noooo!!! That means, 4 more needle pricks!! Of course, I will put up with the pricks as long as I don't have gestational diabetes! I pray that I don't have this... And I could use all the prayers I can get! Of course I'm worried about it... Will keep you informed... On a side note, it looks like Travis might have to travel a bit for his job. He has to go to Newark, NJ. I think that Caitlin and I will go with him. He won't have to work the entire time and we'll be so close to NYC. I've always wanted to go there... But we'll see what happens!
Well, my big 3-0 came and went with a bang. On my actual birthday, my parents came up to my house and we went to lunch. After lunch, we decided to go to Toys R Us to see if we could find some things for Caitlin. While we were walking around, I started feeling weird. I started getting really hot, and my ears started muffling... Then, my vision started going... Next thing I know, I'm on the ground with my Mom holding me up. I completely passed out! This is scary enough to happen at anytime, but being 7 months pregnant, it was REALLY scary! Luckily, my Mom broke my fall a bit, and I didn't land on my head or belly. But sheesh! What a way to spend your birthday, right? I went to the doctor and everything was fine. They think I got over-heated. My parents threw me a surprise birthday party and made it a baby shower too! It was great... And I got a ton of nice things for Jacob! It definitely made up for my actual day, that's for sure! Other than that, not too much is new. Just getting through the days until baby #2 arrives! This weekend, we're celebrating my Mom's birthday, and the following weekend is Caitlin's 2nd birthday party! Lots of birthdays!
Well, tomorrow is my big day! It doesn't bother me that I'm turning 30. I know some people have a hard time with getting older, but I feel like I'm where I want to be... So, no biggie! I had a doctor appointment today and everything went well. I took them a quart filled with suckers and a quart filled with minis. They LOVED them. They do so much for me, so I thought I'd do something nice for them. It looks like Jacob could be born on Friday, the 13th! Eeekk! I'm not so sure I like that idea, but if we schedule him to be born then, I'll have a doctor that I really like delivering him. So, we'll see. It's just a day, right? And I'm not normally so superstitious! My WONDERFUL husband surprised me with an early birthday gift yesterday. I have been complaining about not having a decent knife for a long time. And since I LOVE to cook, it's a big deal. So, he got me a Henckels knife set! It's AWESOME. I mean, I cut through a bag of carrots like they were butter. I couldn't believe it. I am so excited! Some women like jewelry or fancy dinners... Give me a kitchen gadget or an appliance, and I'm the happiest woman around! He wanted to get me something really nice since it's a big birthday... And he did a great job!
So! Not a ton has been going on lately. I've been busy doing a whole lot of nothing it seems! This weekend, we went to Babies R Us and got Jacob a Fisher Price Glider Seat. It looks so comfy cozy, and I can't wait to use it! We also found a swing that we really like, but $160 is STEEP for a swing! These baby product people really like to stick it to you, that's for sure! The good news is, I got a birthday card from my inlaws with a gift card to BRU!! Yeehaw! So, we do have enough to get the swing (including the GC's we got for Christmas) but we're going to wait and see if it goes on sale. I also made up 2 quart cans for my doctor's office. One, I filled with minis, the other with suckers. I did all Valentine designs and they really turned out cute! I know they will love them. When I took in SOE's during Christmas time, they went NUTS! And heck, maybe they'll give me some extra samples of Enfamil Lipil! LOL. I can't believe I'm turning 30 on Wednesday... I feel like I'm at a great time in my life though. I will be 30, but I have a loving husband, a beautiful girl and a son on the way! What more could I ask for, really? Not a thing! Tonight, Travis and I were on cloud 9 since 24 started up today! We LOVE 24!!! It's our favorite show on TV. We were NOT disappointed either... It was so good! So, other than that, not too much has been going on. Caitlin's been talking more and more, she'll even let you take her picture now... She yells, 'CHEESE!' It's so cute!
After reading about Ms. Lynne's grandson, 'Champ', it's really made me put things in perspective. I can't stop thinking about that poor little baby, and how the entire family must be feeling. My heart just aches for them. Being pregnant myself, I always worry about problems. I am only 1 week earlier (26 weeks today) than when Ms. Lynne's daughter in law gave birth prematurely. That really scares me! We were so lucky with Caitlin, dispite the fact that I needed an emergency C-section... Everything turned out fine in the end. I have been an emotional wreck during this pregnancy. I cry for no reason, I snap at the drop of a hat. And the worst is, I usually take it out on poor Travis. Lately, I can and will find anything that he's doing wrong. And it's horrible. And after I've yelled, I feel terrible. It's like I become another person or something. He understands, and tells me not to worry, but it's still not right. I don't remember being like this when I was pregnant with Caitlin. My biggest fear though is postpartum depression. I had quite a bad case after Caitlin. One that I won't soon forget. It was awful. And I am so scared that I will get it again. I just remember not sleeping in the hospital. I would shuffle down to the nursery at 3am, leaving Travis to sleep in my hospital bed, and I'd hold Caitlin and rock her all night, sobbing. I'm sure the nurses thought I was crazy or something, but they never said a thing. It was just awful though. And coming home wasn't any easier. I worry about this... And taking care of 2 little ones? Oh boy... I know I will get through it, and it'll be fine, but I still wonder... and worry.
Well, as many of you know Travis got a new job about three months ago. It's a great job, he really likes it, it pays GREAT... BUT... It's a 50 minute commute for him, and that's if the weather is good. We've been lucky so far, and haven't had much snow. But when it is snowing, it's more like an hour and a half or more. The other problem is, his department is moving to a new location sometime in March... And this place is an hour and 15 minutes away from our home! We've had our house on the market for a little while, but haven't been actively pursuing it. With the holidays and me being pregnant, we just got side-tracked. And packing and moving is the LAST thing I want to do. Not to mention, I'd have to find all new doctors, a new hospital... I wouldn't have my family close by... All these negatives. So, there is a slight possibility that Travis could get a job with the company he was working for before now, and this job would be 5 minutes away from us! The only problem is, it might not pay as well, and with me not working, we'd need it to pay around the same. We can take a bit of a cut, but not too big. I have been praying all day that we hear good news. This would be such a huge relief to a lot of our stress. It would really solve a lot of our problems... I am hopeful that our prayers will be answered...
Well, it's official. I am sick. Not really sick, but I have a cold and a sore throat. Not exactly how I wanted to ring in the New Year. But it's not too bad, thankfully. I can't imagine how I'd be if I wasn't on all of these vitamins! Caitlin is doing great though. No runny nose or anything. Let's hope it stays that way. Today was Travis' first day back to work and Caitlin is missing him. When I got her up, she was looking around for Daddy. She started calling, 'Daddddddyyyy!!!' And then she said, 'Where Daddy go?' It was so cute. When I told her that he had to go to work, she said, 'Oh no! Daddddyyy!' Like I was just kidding around or something. So, when I took her downstairs, she peeked in our bedroom hoping to see him. It was so cute! She didn't see a big lump under the covers since the bed was made, so she looked confused and said, 'Daddy seeping?' She's really starting to talk more and more... It's adorable. Well, we're off to find me some more maternity pants. When I was pregnant with Caitlin, I was still working so I wore mostly dress clothes. Now, I'm at home and am NOT wearing dress clothes or dresses. So, I need some more jeans. I went to a maternity store and they wanted over $40 for a pair of jeans. Thanks, but NO!!
