So here lately I have been feeling a little better with the morning sickness. I mainly just feel extreme tiredness. I don't want to jinx myself because last time I said I was feeling better it started over. I started taking 2 Flintstones Complete vitamins at night and it has made a huge difference. The past few days I can actually brush my teeth without puking and I haven't gotten sick at night, I think in almost a week. I am really hoping the worst of it has passed. I will be 12 weeks tomorrow!!! I can't believe that I am already 3 months pregnant. I went last Thursday to have my glucose screening test done as most of you already know. I couldn't eat or drink anything after midnight and had to increase my carbs the 3 days before my apt. When I got there I went straight in and had my fasting blood test done. The nurse said that if it was normal then we could proceed with the rest of the glucose testing and it was so she gave me the glucose drink that was very large! The first thing she said was if you throw this up then you will have to come and do this whole process over. It was the hardest thing I had to do. Even harder than actually taking the blood test. I drank the drink and waited an hour until they took my blood again. That first hour was the worst. I had to really concentrate on not throwing up. Once the hour was over I went back again for my 2nd blood test. I sat in the waiting room during each hour because I didn't want to have to leave and come back each time. Originally the nurse on the phone said bring a book which led me to believe that I couldn't leave. The nurse I saw said they don't care if you leave but it is really important to be there right when its been an hour and some people don't come back when they should. I saw several women doing the same thing. One woman went to her car to nap and they had to call her once because she didn't come back in time. It was interesting to watch. lol So anyway, I waited 2 more hours after the first 2 blood test to take 2 more and then I was able to go home and chow down on some food finally. I was so tired just from going to the doctor. I took a nap then I got a phone call from the woman's clinic. The nurse said I passed my glucose test and all was great in the world. For some of you that may not know, if I had not passed my glucose test then I would be diagnosed with gestational diabetes and my life would have to change completely these days. But it's not the case and I don't have to worry about it again for a while until they decide to check it again. I am just so thankful that I passed. I am also very thankful for my wonderful husband who sat there with me for 4 hours at the doctor. I have a few great friends who offered to go with me too but Franz ended up getting off. It all worked out.
So this week I feel like I have so much to do before we leave for California!!!! I need to clean the house, pack, go get a few things from the store and get my doggies situated before we leave. Murphy is staying with my dad, Debbie, and Drew. He loves staying at Grandpa's house. He knows who Grandpa is and it is really too funny to watch him get excited about seeing him. Anyway, Macy is going to be taking care of by Gretchen. Thankful for our family who helps us out with our furry children. I don't think I could leave if I didn't feel comfortable with Murphy and Macy being well taken care of. I can't believe it is almost July which means that I only have one month left until school starts back. I was sitting here trying to think of what I did the first couple of weeks of school last year and I have no idea. I guess it was all a blur. I some how taught all my students our routines and rules but don't know how I did it. I know it will just come to me when school begins and hopefully I will do an even better job since it will now be my second year of teaching. :)
When we get back from California I will have to really get going on things for school. My classroom is still in boxes from them doing the floors and I have a few things I want to get done before school begins. I want to have everything ready for the first day of school. Oh yea speaking of school, I just remembered that I have to go to Central Office to do my paperwork for my maternity leave. I need to do that pretty soon. I also have us on two waiting list for day cares. Forest Heights and First Baptist which are both very close to Arlington. I spoke with a very nice lady at First Baptist and she was confident that we would have a spot when the baby comes and is 6 weeks old. That made me feel so much better. I was really worried that being on a waiting list we would end up not having any where for the baby to go when I have to go back to work. It's all good though. Anyways, I have talked and talked and it is time to get off here. Hope everyone has a great week!
