  Here's my rant: I had a nasty flare up of gastroparesis yesterday afternoon/evening, which sent my blood sugar up (not being able to eat and still having a high bs is a totally unfair combination) and put me in a foul mood. My mood wasn't helped by having a checkup with an OB I haven't seen in a while (it's a big practice) who questioned why my fasting blood sugars have been high and accused me of cheating on my diet. Yeah, doc, I'm getting up in the middle of the night just to eat something I know will spike my blood sugar a few hours later. Because obviously I'm getting up at 5 am to work out and tracking every damn thing I put in my mouth all day and testing my blood sugar every few hours and getting angry at myself every time it's high (what the hell was I thinking by eating?) and being super neurotic about my weight gain because I'm a bad patient and don't give a shit about my unborn child.

  
  

  And here's my rave: We got new bookcases yesterday, and they look even better than I thought they would when we ordered them two months ago. Our plans for today revolve around organizing our books (to include finally unpacking the boxes of books that have been taking up the office closet for a year) and putting away other things, which have been taking up space in the office and future nursery, in the office closet as part of Operation Make Room for Baby.

  
  

  As for the rest of the weekend, I have to come up with something inexpensive to do to entertain myself out of the house all day tomorrow. My husband has a deadline for an article he's been writing, and it will be better for us both if I'm not around while he's stressing out about that.

  Haven't checked-in for a while. I'm doing ok, I hurt my back on Monday and I'm still dealing with that, but otherwise fine. 

  
  

  Do you have any exciting weekend plans to share? Or dull weekend plans?

  How are you doing today? Do you have anything to rant or rave about? Feeling pretty good today.
  
  Do you have any exciting weekend plans to share? Or dull weekend plans? I'm volunteering at the Dragon Boat Race today and I've been really looking forward to it, and the weather is really nasty looking. Wtf. Hopefully it will not rain too much.

  I am doing ok. I am exhausted, though. Work has been incredibly stressful and busy. On top of that, there has been the added stress of my dad's heart surgery earlier this week. He is doing so well, though, so everyone who has sent T&P our way I am incredibly grateful! He should get discharged tomorrow!!!!
  
  Today is actually my mom's birthday. We are doing a very small celebration in the hospital (just some cards and I bought flowers for my dad to give to my mom - since he can't shop). Our nursery furniture is getting delivered someone today. So as soon as that comes, we will probably head to the hospital to visit my dad. We will do a bigger celebration tomorrow for my mom and my dad being home!

  I tried (and failed) to edit my post above to add this pic of our new bookcases. And now it looks like I've added it twice here! I guess I'm really pleased with them!

  I'm pretty tired today, but enjoying taking it easy after having a very busy day yesterday.  We drove about 2 hours away to a small town in Amish country to do some shopping, eating (PIE!) and just walk around.  It was fun, but the 2 hour drive took about half an hour longer on the way home due to traffic.  Ugh.  Then we went out to dinner with BIL and his wife to celebrate his birthday, which was also fun, but dang, I am tired.
  
  Tomorrow I am helping my mom with her resume and probably just catching up on some chores and grocery shopping. Boring, but at least it will be a productive day.

  I guess I am doing okay.  I am getting a little frustrated with baby boy because I haven't been feeling him very strongly the past few days...I guess he is just burrowing down somewhere where it's hard for me to feel him?  I know I have an anterior placenta but...come on, kid!  I need my reassurance.

  
  

  I'm in a fiction workshop and I volunteered to a submit a short story for our next meeting, and I need to get it sent out by next Saturday.  My husband and I went out to breakfast this morning while our apartment was being shown but otherwise I have been holed up in the office writing (taking a little break now, obviously).  I've been bad about writing as much as I mean to so I need a deadline to actually make me do it.  Hopefully I can enjoy an activity with my husband tomorrow though, maybe the botanical garden or a hike.

  
  

  One good thing is that our apartment did get rented today, after only the second showing.

  
  

  Okay, time to turn off the internet again!  Have a great weekend, ladies
