Getting it together.....

Went to the new OB/GYN again last night. Good news, insha Allah. After measuring the baby very thoroughly....it turns out that he's a good size and weighs about 7 lbs. Which is good. My first two babies were just over 7 lbs.

So she's of the opinion....that if I can manage to keep my sugars under control this week....if I exercise a lot....that just maybe, we can go for a natural delivery. If I didn't go into labour on my own this week....she'll consider inducing me. NOW THAT'S GOOD NEWS! Alhamdulillah.

Either way....I'll only be carrying the baby to 38 weeks. Which is on Sunday, insha Allah. So I'm almost done! YAY! But MAN....I don't know how I'm going to push myself to walk......it's so strenuous.....I've got this beach ball in front of me that weighs a ton....I gotta arch my back when I walk....I can't stand up easily.....my feet are swollen to proportions unreal.....and I just HURT all over. SIGH! I gotta make myself walk....I do....I do....I do!!!

And I have to watch my sugars. And actually...they've been quite good. But for some reason....when I woke up this morning...I tested and it was 250!!! ????? What happened? That's the first time for that to happen! Usually in the morning it's around 110. So I took my needle.....and made myself a HUGE tuna salad for breakfast.

But I'm still hungry. OMG....I wanna eat a Mega Mushroom sandwich from Hardees! PLEASE? ANYONE? Sigh! So okay....I put extreme effort this week....eat rabbit food...walk around a lot....and take care of me. JOY!

Washing machine worries are finally over.....(haha...knock wood anyone?)..... They came and fixed it all up.....and the machine hardly makes noise now....great! So I've began my washing marathon! Gotta finish up the Rocky Mountains of laundry....insha Allah....I'll get it done.

I have the baby clothes that I'm dying to wash up first....but so far, I've managed to hold off. I wanna wash up those clothes and enjoy it, u know? So I'll hold out until I get the bulk of the other stuff done.....!!!!

A special thanks to Sobia, Cherie and Angelz for throwing me a virtual baby shower over in the Sobia Forums.....it was so special....I love all the pics u guys drew.......and the warm words. You all are very kind!

It seems that yesterday was my last time driving the car. It's dangerous for me to drive. My stomach is on the steering wheel....my feet barely reach the petals......and backing up is SOOO difficult. So I've decided to give it up. And anyways....I'm supposed to walk, right? So there.....bye bye car.....see you later!

~~~~~~~~

I've got some organizing stuff to do before Hubby makes it here. Gotta love organization. I got the maid coming this week....every other day to help me with it. I just don't have the energy to get things done. Next week the maid is coming every day......she's been a real sweetheart and is a fast worker......I can't wait till I actually live in the villa.....well...should I make it there!!

And what about me? Well.....I'm on plan. Will not be swayed. And you know what happened yesterday? At the DR's office they have this magazine and there is this section, sort of like...Dear Abby. Someone wrote in a question about her husband marrying his secretary at work...and how heartbroken she is.....I was sitting there reading it.....and I was trying not to cry. I could feel her pain....the title of the article was..."huwa Kharab baytee"....meaning....he's destroying my home. SIGH. And then I get home....Mohammed Hassan is doing a question and answer period.....a woman calls in, asking why would her husband want to marry another wife, when she does everything for him, keeps a perfect house, the children...u name it....why should a man consider it? And again, I said....THIS ISSUE IS FOLLOWING ME TODAY! HAHA! But sure.....it sure helps me put myself in perspective when I realize that I'm not the only one......

Solutions for me are peeking out from the corner....can't wait to make it there....wish I could drive...walking sucks!
