Miscellaneous



I just wanted to say I cannot stand beef stroganoff! Especially the Hamburger Helper kind, if any of you have had the joyful experience like I had as a child with a plateful of it in front of you, challenging you to enjoy it. I remembered how much I hated it when I was talking to my little brother Adam today and I told him I would write about it in my blog, so here it is!

I am glad to actually have a slight variation of subjects to talk about because though I am talking about the pregnancy a lot, it isn't truly the only thing going on right now. For example, I am lately realizing how much I need to educate myself on politics. I have never been a political person, and it has never interested me. But I don't want to be a parent that has no opinion or answers for my children if they were to ever ask me about the subject. Michael keeps himself informed about politics, and I can't let him one up me on that!

The next year or two ahead of us will really present some challenges and hurdles to overcome, and I am praying that we make the right decisions. As far as moving out of Augusta, I can't wait, and I know he can't either. It is lame-o here and I can't stand living in a place where people are even more so narrow minded and behind the times. Moving to Atlanta will be a good move.

God is good!! I'm so glad we started going to church lately also. I feel a little more balanced again and I am reminded that no matter how much we struggle right now, we are so so blessed and that should never be taken for granted.

Yippee!

Case of the GD!!

Gestational diabetes be damned. by Mrs. Flinger


Well I have a case of the GD, which is gestational diabetes, lucky me! It is a temporary form of diabetes that is brought on from any number of things, background, race, age, etc... It is when my body isn't producing enough insulin as it should. It usually disappears after the baby is born and when it is controlled, usually things are fine. The only bad thing is if it isn't controlled properly, the baby could be huge! I don't need insulin so far, they want to see if I can just control the sugars with a a diet. I've been told that there's nothing I did wrong to bring this on, but I still feel bad a little bit, like maybe I should have been healthier pre-pregnancy or something? But it's all good. I have to stab myself 4 times daily which is with this cool little electronic device. It would be a whole lot cooler stabbing someone else with it though! Then I have this fun lil diet plan I have to follow to keep my sugar levels at a certain spot. It isn't thattt bad, no liquor (duh!), no fried foods, no juice, no desserts... But all else is still cool to eat, however it has to be in tiny tiny portions. That is why I'm callin this diet the MC diet (Mariah Carey).

The biggest and hardest part of this diet is not really the foods, because I have to have 3 meals a day plus 3 snacks, which I usually don't eat that much. The hardest part will be taking the time out to look in this book to see what amount of food I can have of each and planning it out! How annoying this will be when we are in Atlanta for the 4th of July weekend! Poooooo!

Anyways, onto other business. We went to the Prenatal Imaging place this weekend for our 3d/4d ultrasound, and our little bugger moved from transverse lie in my tummy to breech (frank) with his legs folded up on his head and face like a lawn chair! How is that even comfy? She tried for like 10 minutes but couldn't get any good face shots or any shots for that matter. I was sooo sad, had been lookin forward to this appt forever!! So we have to go back on the 1st of July to see if he moved or moved his legs! Wah wah! And the funny thing is, I think he switched positions that morning, because I have been telling hubby all morning how I felt the strangest uncomfy movement from him, which I think was him turning. Now that he's lying like this, I don't feel his kicks like I was before, which sucks because I waited so long to feel movement and was really enjoying it along with Michael Wooden. Oh well, I do still feel him move, so I'm sure he is just fine, with his little already stubborn self!

Oh, and we finally went to church this last weekend, which felt good because we hadn't gone in awhile. We are going again this weekend too. God rules!

30 Weeks Today!

Yippee! I can't believe there is 10 more weeks to go and that's it! And obviously, if I pop sooner, it'll be even quicker than that! Getting ready for the baby shower, which I am still hoping I can survive the heat those couple days in Atlanta. I got my wish and little Chris Rod is kicking harder and I can feel him daily. I have been happy with that the last couple weeks, and also hubby can feel him kick now from the outside so he has enjoyed that. Sometimes it feels like he is trying to escape but I know the kicks and jabs will be harder soon especially as he grows and grows. My tummy is largish and very uncomfortable at this point, and with this Georgia humidity and hot summer air, I could just collapse on a daily. Other than that, nothing much else is going on. I think I will update later when I have more wit and more of a creative mind. Right now I feel blank and airy. lol

My definition of bliss is living life to the fullest. I am always on a journey to grow and change. I am a woman, mother, wife, sister, and friend. I have always kept a diary or journal.....and now I keep a blog. I love to read, write, and express myself. This blog will contain my life experiences and stances. It will contain my rants and raves. It will contain my joys and my heartaches. And last but not least, it will contain ME.
