All is well.

I have lost 8 pounds which for my situation is not concerning. Two weeks ago when I was weighed I was down 4 but the nurse was a dummy and said I read the scale wrong. Ummmm it's pretty straight forward. So when I went on Wednesday I was down another four. I had a different nurse and she actually read it with me and yes I was right the first time. Losing 8 pounds over 4 weeks is a lot different then losing it over two. But again, it's no big deal. I am ecstatic since it's less weight to lose after the baby. The reg ob said with the weight loss I have gained 15 pounds and I shouldn't gain anymore. My G.D. is still diet controllable and the difference in food is why I lost the weight. I only have to check my sugars twice a day now, down from four. At my first visit the HR ob said I have too much fluid and after researching it a bit more I found that having too much is a bad thing. For that reason they starting seeing me four weeks earlier then they would have normally. At every visit I am put on the fetal monitor and I have an ultrasound done. So far everything is fine with the tests.

I can't tell you how glad I am that my insurance is an HMO. I have no idea how we would afford it otherwise.

We still haven't chosen s definite name. It seems we change our minds every week!

Work is starting to wear me out. It mentally exhausts me and I even begged the HR OB to put me on leave. She laughed and said there was no reason. Of course that's terrific but man I could use a break from that place. My replacement comes soon and I don't get a good vibe. Six more weeks and it's not my job anymore so I guess it's not that bad. I don't think I will go back, even part time, but I am still undecided. I am staying home until summer is over and then we'll figure it out.

Little J and I went to look at Christmas lights last night. I found an awesome subdivision on my way home from a late night at work and nearly every house was decorated. It was fantastic. We haven't ever really went out before so it was nice and nostalgic, well except that it was eighty degrees.

We have also been making tons of ornaments and crafts. Our dining room looks like a glitter factory exploded in it. We've been to Joann and HobLob every weekend. It's fun and we're making new traditions. I let little J decorate the tree this year. It took every ounce of my self control not to take over. I always have matching ornaments and none of the kiddie stuff. All that changed this year when we couldn't find the base for J's tree. I have to admit the tree looks great and I should have let him help me decorate a long time ago.

speak of the devil, the kid wants the computer......
