As most of you might know, I tend to stress out a lot. I've been trying to calm my nerves for this pregnancy because I know that stress isn't good for me or Boo. Although I had my ups and downs...I was doing alright until about two and a half weeks ago. (A Wednesday) The power was shut off because of a hugely unpaid bill. Now, it wouldn't be so bad if someone didn't take it so lightly. Greg's dad thought it was kinda funny...and told us not to worry, that the power would be back on by that Monday. Greg was obviously upset and we took shelter in a motel nearby. Monday rolls around...no power...Wednesday rolls around...STILL no power. Greg's dad told us that he needed more money after we already gave him enough for a down payment on the bill. By this point, the baby fund is completely gone and Greg only has a few dollars.
It will take 15 days for the money to come in and the power to be turned on.
I. Am. Not. Impressed.
Greg and I have been looking for our own place for around seven months now. But it's been extremely hard. Neither Greg or I want to live in the city because of all of the bad things you hear about it. And honestly I don't want my child to go to an inner city school. However, we don't have the money to do so. We're stuck. And there doesn't seem like any way to change the situation for at least a year and a half.
Blehhhhh I friggen HATE being broke. (I know I'm not alone in this feeling.)
Anyway, with all of these money problems and not sure what's going on, I was stressed out. Unfortunately for me, apparently when you stress out you can make your limbs swell. And you can make them swell to gross proportions and make you stress out even MORE. When I went to my last appointment, although everything was normal (except for my giant butt) I was told that I need to moderate my stress because it's not good to have. Even if my blood pressure is normal I could still develop pre-e just because of my stress level.
'Cause I didn't have anything that could stress me out in the past five minutes...thanks Doc.
I go for my glucose test in two weeks and I'm nervous about it. Although I don't have diabetes, I have a lot of family members who do. And my mom had "sugar in the urine" when she had my sister. I'm worried that I have it because of all the weight I gained. I know I could eat a diabetic diet but I don't want any other problems. I know even if I failed the one hour test I'm going to have a big baby...and they might not let me have a vaginal birth. But only time will tell.
Not only am I worried about that test, I am worried about a possible problem. I was having some sharp pains at the side of my stomach. I brushed it off like it was nothing, but the doctor I had at the appointment told me that if it's not better by the next visit they are going to have to ultrasound my gull bladder. OY!
Well, now it's off to clean and get things packed up for my yard sale.
Until Next Time:
