A weight off my shoulders

I got the test results back yesterday. Turns out I passed! :) It was a long weekend of worrying about it. I know I shouldn't worry, but that's what I do - and I do it often. I apparently have an iron deficiency and am supposed to take some iron pills in addition to the prenatal vitamins. We'll see how that goes.
It's odd to realize that there's only 10 weeks left until the due date. Agh, time really does fly. It's also time to really start thinking about what I need to buy before the baby comes, and let me tell you, that list is pretty long. The only things that I have purchased are a bouncer & a swing - and that's only because I bought them for the daycare, but they haven't been used. I do have a few clothes, but those will have to wait a few weeks or so - at least until the bellybutton falls off. And I have a pair of socks & a cute little pink hat, but the necessities I have yet to buy. A changing table/dresser would be great to have right now, even, just because it's getting increasingly difficult to get on the floor to change Laney's diaper. My brother's going to build a cradle, and that should be pretty neat. :)
Hopefully this week won't drag on and on. It's already been a long morning.

Glucose test

Yesterday I took the 3 hour glucose test. My sister & Kate went with me, which was nice since I had to sit at the hospital for an awfully long time. I had my blood drawn 4 times, which, quite frankly, is not my favorite thing. I still have a mark/bruise from having my blood drawn on Tuesday. The worst part of the whole thing is that I won't know the test results until tomorrow. I have never been so nervous for anything my entire life.

First Post

I decided I had better start something like this up, because apparently I have alot to say.

These past two weeks have been long and difficult ones. It began Saturday, the 11, when I came down with a cold of some sort. Being pregnant and having a cold is difficult, because I don't want to take any medicine unless I absolutely have to. Since my nose was stuffed up I had a very hard time sleeping, so I got about 4 hours of sleep every night for about a week. I also started working full time again. So on top of getting no sleep, being sick, and being very emotional due to pregnancy, by Wednesday I was just not able to function at all. I woke up Wednesday with everything hurting, and I was getting a headache, and I could hardly do anything. I couldn't get the baby to quit crying or eat anything, so Beth came over and we had a good talk about everything. So she took the kids home so that I could rest up and hopefully get better. I took the next day off as well, just so that I could hopefully avoid exposing the kids to the cold and so I could get some much needed rest.
Later that night, (Thursday, the 17) I was talking to my mom and she told me that my aunt had called her that morning and said that we should probably go see our grandma because it didn't look like she was going to make it - she has been slowly dying for the past year or so). We decided that Friday we were going to go up and see her. I called Beth and told her what was going on and she said that would be fine and to keep her posted. 8:30 Thursday night, my mom called to say that my grandma had died & that we were going to go take care of funeral arrangements the next day. So my weekend consisted of driving to Tripoli everyday, being sick, making funeral arrangements, having the visitation on Sunday night, and then having the funeral on Monday.
Tuesday, I had a doctor's appointment which consisted of a glucose test (to check for gestational diabetes), which I ended up failing. So tomorrow I will go take a 3 hour long test at the hospital. I have never been so worried about anything my entire life.
All of this has been happening these past two weeks, which is compounded by the fact that a rumor was spread about me over the weekend that I was not a good daycare provider.
I don't think I've ever been so stressed in my life.
