I really, really needed it. This past week has been crazy, since I was packing up and moving back to Santiago (not with furniture and stuff, cos I’m staying at my parents’ for a while, but I still had to pack a whole bunch of baby stuff and clothes and things). I could NEVER have done it if I’d still been at work. I thought I’d miss work but… NOPE. At least not last week. We’ll see this week, now that things have calmed down a Little.
I’m 34+3 weeks and Daniel is still where he’s supposed to be. Yesterday I had a tiny bit of a scare as I was driving the 6 hrs to Santiago, because I started having really bad cramps and feared they might be contractions. Turned out I really REALLY had to pee–and once I finally found a rest station, the “contractions” went away. I know it sounds idiotic–how could I NOT REALIZE I had to pee??? I have no explanation for that. So many weird things happen when you’re pregnant… you kinda lose control of yourself.
Also… I had a 4th baby shower last week, hosted by my sister/mom/cousins/aunts. It was beautiful and totally surprising… so surprising, I dropped my purse and lost my car keys in the process, LOL. And they made all health food again :). I was so touched.
My gestational diabetes has been ok. I’ve pretty much identified things that make my blood sugar spike–mainly pasta and bread. Strangely enough, not sushi or cake or chocolate, at least in small doses. But bread and pasta are killers, even in the amount suggested by the nutritionist.
In other, non-baby-related news… my mom and sister were visiting this past week, and I’m kinda worried about my mom. She has this scyatic-nerve-like pain, but her back MRI is clear and her physical is normal. WTF? Could it be muscular? Doesn’t seem like it, but it makes me feel kind of stupid not to be able to help her. It’s nothing serious, but still sucks.
Also… took my cat Rum to the vet cos he was too fat and drinking too much water. Turns out he’s diabetic too :(. And his kidneys/liver aren’t working so well. I felt really bad about that, cos it’s my fault, for overfeeding him. So now we’re on a strict diet/exercise Schedule. Hope it Works. I want kitty to be part of my family for a long time.
