Snow

Is so over-rated. It's all pretty and everything, but come on! I'm having flash backs to when I was little and field behind our house was just a never ending mountain of snow! We are set to get another snow storm tomorrow. We were suppsed to move the sofa bed up from B-ville, but I think we are stopping that because it will just be an icky mess with snow/rain and all that fun stuff. As long as the chair makes it downstairs I'll have an idea of what I'm working with here!

Chuck and I are off tomorrow to go to Ikea to get some nice organizing stuff for our apartment. Like I told him, I don't care if it's put together, I just want the stuff so I know what I'm doing trying to make everything work in this apartment. It's going to get even more crowded come the end of May beginning of June around here. Never mind all the 'baby equipment' we'll have around also!

I'm also off to Target today to do some returns. I'm going to check out the baby section (as usual) and see if they have the swing that you plug in! That makes me very damn happy. I had found a different pattern I had liked at Wal-Fart, but will happily switch to a swing that plugs and doesn't use up so damn batteries! That makes me happy. I just hope it's cute and not butt ass ugly! Oh well, she will never know!

I'm off to enjoy the day now!

Results

So they did some girlie stuff at the last appointment. What do you know I have a lovely yeast infection AND a bacterial infection going on. Nice. This is the second round of meds for the bacterial thing. Yucko.

My other complain right now? The freakin' weather. When is it all going to melt and go away? I type this as they are talking about our third snow storm in a week starting tomorrow night at rush hour! I would normally stay the night at work, but not on Valentine's Day! That is going to be one fun ass drive. It's only about 25 miles from work to home. But in traffic, like this morning it can take up to 2 1/2 hours! Gotta love Chicago traffic!

24 week check up

Let me just say...6 months! Holy shit! It hit me the other day that she will be here in 3 months give or take! Yikes!

So the check up went well. She measures 'very good' as the doctor said. I've lost another 8 pounds, go figure. Chuck calls it the 'pregnancy diet'. Figures. Only I would get knocked up and lose weight in the process. The doctor showed no signs of worry that I'm losing weight still. I was actually quite shocked that I lost 8 pounds in a month, since I feel like I'm eating a lot more than I was before! Thank God. I think my jaw hit the floor when she weighed me. LOL. It explains why I have to pay attention to my wedding band since there are times when I look down and it's up to my knuckle before I know what's going on! I got the icky glucose drink for the next appointment. I'm trying the lime this time since orange carbinated drinks leave me in a bad way a few hours after drinking them! Hopefully it will go well this time as it did the last.

I'm totally 'feeling' more pregnant now. I think I can bend at the waist from a sitting position and that doesn't work so well. I can no longer sit on the floor with the kids because it takes me forever to get my ass back up. Oh yeah, this doctor said it's not my sciatica that is acting up it's just how she is positioned. Nice. It's odd because it's my tail bone that hurts like hell. Getting up and down is brutal. I feel like a 90 year old woman trying to get up and start walking. Once I'm walking, I'm good to go...but getting there seems to entertain my husband. Nothing but love.

We were supposed to move in two weeks. Chuck decided to see if they would keep the rent the same where we are now. (Considering we have only thought about packing and never actually started, that's really scary!) After that last flood, I told him it was up to him to get it all worked out. Well the new property manager ( who actually got shit done around here after the flood last month...new carpet and paint in the hallway, repairing the ceiling in the hallway) is incredibly good, it's too bad she's leaving in a few months to go back to Texas.

Chuck is just happy he doesn't have to pack up his stuff. Although he still needs to go through everything (he's the biggest pack rat I've ever met) since the office/toy room will soon become the kids' room! I've begun the nesting thing (I think it's too soon, but others disagree) I want everything in it's place so I don't have to worry about any of it any more!
