Princess Kara had her baby shower today with all of her friends and family...and a few of mommy's. She go so many great things! Grandma Shelly has to be the bestest grannie in the world, she had so much food and great prizes. She had lots of help from Kara's Great Auntie Teresa, Cousins Jenny and Caitlin. Oh, and we can't foget Great Grannie Carolyn.
Its just pure amazement the amount of outpouring love and support that we have in our family. Everyone was so great and caring. I am so lucky to have a great family...I'm just speechless!
I go back to the doctor tomorrow, I have lots of questions about "pain" and "moodiness" but I'm sure it's all normal!
Thanks again for everything EVERYONE! WE LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!

So I failed....
I went today at 830a.m. before work to Samaritan for my 1 hour glucose tolerance test. Well let me tell ya, for those who haven't ever had one...in a few words...THEY SUCK...BAD. Anyway, I get there and go drink what I like to call "flat Sprite with A LOT of sugar in it" I plugged my nose and downed it and headed back out to the waiting room to sit with my hubby! Well I wasn't sitting down 5 minutes and Miss Kara decided that Mommy drank way too much sugar and she was going to have a party. My stomach flipped and flopped and she kicked and moved, I swear she was having a party in there. Even people who were sitting across the room could see my belly move and they laughed at me.
Now, stay with me here. I don't know if it's just people in general that annoy me or just this lady today at the lab office, but let me tell you the story. So in walks this girl with a little "mixed" baby and her mother. Obviously pregnant and sits near Tim and I. Well this girl who I later referred to Tim as "the crack whore" struck up a conversation with me asking me if I was here for my sugar test. I told her yes and in her mother starts about diabetes and how it just sucks having diabetes. I smile and kindly answer her questions. Then the "crack whore" asks me when I am due...I kindly respond Feb., she pipes back up and says well I'm due Feb. 6, Tim opens his mouth now and says, well she's due the 5th. Her mother all dressed in her for lack of better words "scum bag clothes without her teeth in and hair not brushed" said well you're HUGE (I mean this lady emphasized HUGE) for not being due until Feb. How much weight have you gained? I smiled and kindly said 13lbs. Then I felt my face get red and I wanted to cry. Luckily enough the place started to get busy and she found other people to annoy while I just sat there ready to burst into tears. Then when we got home my neighbor to top off everything says...I think there is 2 in there, look at you...THAT'S it...I cried on the way in the house...it's bad enough being "fluffy" to begin with but when people tell you that you look fat or huge that makes me emotional.
Anyway, yes, like I said I failed the damn test. I was out of there by 945 and my cell phone was ringing at 1145. My doctor's nurse telling me to call her. I called and she was out to lunch when I got down to Guilfoyle to eat lunch with Tim and told him, and we sat and waited for her to call and sure enough I failed and I need to take a 3 hour test. So that is scheduled for Saturday or Sunday which ever I decide to go to Carthage Area Hospital to get it done. I'm not too happy about going back to CAH, but it's got to get done. So, needless to say, I'm kind of bummed and am going to try to eat healthy from now until then, only the problem is, I don't feel like eating at all, all I'm worried about is my princess Kara.
xxoo

Kara's got a place to sleep!
Well, we're getting down to the wire. I have just started my "every 2 weeks" doctors appts. I almost cried yesterday when she told me 2 weeks. I can't believe that I have been pregnant for almost 9 months, yes I have 3 months to go, but I just can't believe that it's gone soo fast.
We got baby Kara's room started, she has a closet because Grannie Shelly is paranoid that Kara isn't going to have any clothes, so when Grannie Shelly started sending packages once a week we decided we better get Kara her own closet, because we know there is no room in Mommy's closet for Kara's clothes! She also has my bassanet (i'm sure i spelled that wrong) that I slept in as a baby, I can't wait to put her in it. But we are in the process of getting the crib and a dresser also.
I started my new job last week at Northern Federal Credit Union. So far, I LOVE IT and I'm so glad. I will be working on Commerce Street right here in Watertown, so it's not too far from home. It's a lot of training and a lot to remember but I'm sure that it's easier than it looks right now. And it's something that I can come back to after I have Kara and am ready to come back to work. We have been looking into day care and it's quite emotional if you ask me. I have so many damn questions on what they do during the day and I want to know everything about them and then there's the prices of day care...I just ended up crying. I have seen so many movies and watched so many programs where babysitters treat kids badly and I don't want anyone touching my baby. We may have made a decision but it's still in the thought process. It's one of our boss's wife, she has a daycare and she is sooo wonderful, they are a nice christian family and great people. Tim and I are just discussing the price right now.
So far, so good. I have gained 15 pounds and I now officially feel like a cow, I am at the point where I will just yell to either Tim or Brandon if I drop something because I can't bend over. Doctor says everything looks good and I should be right on schedule. I have my lovely glucose test on Thursday, so I'm actually eating all the junk food I can so in case I find out I have gestational diabetes I'm not deprived...I know pathetic. Well I'm off to do laundry and pay bills...believe me I'd rather be laying in the middle of the street in the freezing rain than do either.
xxoo to everyone
