Wow...Really?

OK, so I am now convinced that I actually have gestational diabetes. I am also convinced that my baby is HUGE! Listen to this...that girl is 6 pounds 3 ounces at 34 weeks. She really needs to slow her row.

So now I am on Glyburide to control my nighttime sugars, as this is when the doctor thinks she is taking in the most glucose, and fattening up. But now I am dealing with some crazy hypoglycemia in the morning. I am working on getting that figured out.

Also, she was lying transverse last time we checked. I am doing all the yoga moves I can to get that girl to turn, but she just may really like lounging where she is. I thought I felt her move around, but she tricked me!

Also, nothing like a crazy pregnancy to make you truly consider the tubal ligation....considering...not asking for opinions...just saying.

I went to do some window shopping yesterday in the "city". It was much fun. I will be returning with Andrew to purchase a few cute things I saw. Especially those baby nightgowns with the elastic in the bottom. I love those!

We are rowing the Wild Horses of Sweetbriar this week. The kids are loving the lap books or "Fold and Learns "created by the folks at Five in a Row. They have learned about Massachusetts, similes, writing in a first person view, and today we will talk about splatter art. We are sticking close to the recommendations from FIAR. None of these are my idea. I love it when I don't really have to think.

Monkey has been presenting me with several books each night to enjoy with him. Last night he took it one step further and asked me to look up several authors and illustrators he wants to check out at the library next time we go. That is so great! That is called a love of learning folks....goal accomplished. Sparking the interest, and letting them roll with it. I act all cool about it when he tells me a new author or illustrator, but inside I am doing cartwheels, or some other fantastic gymnastic move this body has not done in well....too long. :)

Puppy is busy regressing in his potty training. He loves to pee his pants these days. At least it is just pee. Also, while shopping yesterday in this outdoor outlet facility, kind of swanky place, they have little trees planted here and there. Well, one tree was apparently just too dry, it needed watering...yes, we scandalized many a passerby yesterday. Love it!

Mouse has just finished Where the Red Fern Grows. Her official review...It is soooo sad, I can never read that again. That reminds me that most animal stories end poorly. Why must they always kill off our sweet animal friends....WHY? Just think of your top 3 favorite animal stories, classic, not this new feel good stuff...they all die don't they?

Well, we are nesting around here, so it is clean the house day...week....ok month! Today is bedrooms. Don't tell Andrew but I am packing up books...lots of them. I hate to say that yes some people can have too many books. Especially old computer study guides. I am sure he feels the same about our 3 bookshelves of children's books. Those are next. HONEST!
