If I thought our house was topsy-turvy before... it's REALLY topsy-turvy now. We have primed and painted the baby's room (flowered wallpaper... gone). The somewhere between pink and red (maybe a really ugly rose color??) is GONE. That carpet was a stinky, dusty horrible mess. It's gone. Garbage. Adios. Drew is, at this very moment laying down hardwood floors in there. Yes, surprising to go with hardwoods in a baby's room... and we will need to put an area rug in there... but when we compared the cost of carpeting vs. hardwoods... and considered the fact that we would never be able to match the carpet that covers the rest of the upstairs... it really just made sense to go with hardwoods. The hope is that by the end of this week... the baby's room will be mostly done (we'll need to get curtains for the windows and I'll probably paint something like I did for Grant). I can't wait to reclaim my house! Also – I think Drew is going to put an offer in on a new (to him) car tomorrow! Drew still drives the first car he ever had... a 1982 VW Rabbit. It's old. It has no A/C. AAA has towed it back to our house many many times. It's been a good car for Drew... and he has lovingly maintained it since 1992. It has had a long, good life. Now, though, it's time for Drew to have a reliable, stable car with A/C. He's narrowed it down to a 2004 Audi Sedan and a 2004 Volvo S60. Last I heard, the plan was for me to go with him tomorrow morning and take a look and tell him what I think then he'll make an offer. In the meantime, I'm getting bigger and more uncomfortable every day. It's crotch hot with no wind here...combine that with all of the work I've been doing on the house and it means I have quite a bit of Braxton-Hicks contractions these days. I'm trying to just listen to those and know it means it's time for me to lay down for a bit. I have a fair amount of energy, which is a wonderful change. My blood sugars have been pretty good. I'm up to 30 units of insulin a night... and I'm doing really good about knowing when I need to take some fast insulin to get me through a carb-heavy meal. Today at lunch I had a low-carb lean cuisine (8 g total) plus a peach. The last time I had a peach my sugars were insane... this time, I did great! My blood sugar was under 100!! I have an ultrasound on Thursday to check baby size and placenta placement (last time they thought it was a little low). I'm hoping the placenta has moved up a bit and that the little guy is growing at a steady rate. Grant is doing amazing. He's just blossomed into such an amazing little man. He's communicating in complex sentences... and when he sees my cell phone he says “hi Danny” which means he wants to call and say hi to Granny (my mom). He spent a lot of this weekend outside with Dad... and has some nasty mosquito bites to show for it. He was really uncomfortable tonight... didn't want clothes on... no blanket... I could tell he was itching... so I put our after-bite on it and gave him a little Benadryl to take the edge off. He's sleeping right next to me... so sweet. So there you have it... busy time and an even busier week ahead!! Wish us luck!
