Only 72 Days to Go....

Well........maybe. Possibly only 65 if I elect to have a C-section a week prior. (Which is a possibility) I have not been sleeping well lately, but I am sure that is in preperation for what is to come. Ethan is CONSTANTLY on the move. This boy wakes up at odd hours of the morning, and doesn't slow down til late hours of the late morning, early afternoon. For example, waking me up at 1am, and he doesn't stop flipping, rolling, kicking, etc til anytime between 10am & 1pm. What!?? Where is all this energy coming from!??? Momma doesn't know, cause I barely have energy to get my daily tasks done. I have a feeling we are in for our hands full with this one. Might look and resemble Zach, but is a total terror. Oh please God.... give me the strength to handle a boy like that. We have been so lucky with Zach. He was always a good baby, went through some stages that I am glad are behind us now, some minor terrible two trantrums still come out, but other than that, he is a great little boy. Ethan on the other hand, WHOA.... I am scared. Hahahaha

Well, we have been 2nd guessing our name lately for our little boy. I really like the name Ethan, and I have a feeling it is going to stick, however Josh and I can not come to an agreement on a middle name for him. We wanted to keep the middle name possibly around the Grandpa's however some of these names, just aren't "working" for me and for my taste in how I like things to sound. OCD-- I know... LOL... my bosses laugh when I tell them Ethan & Jones have exactly the same number of characters, and I think the middle name should too. COLBY is PERFECT. But, I am pretty sure I am not going to get my way with that name, regardless how much more I beg. Josh hates it, and has pretty much said so. So, we are looking at Grandpa's 1st and middle names, and have come up with the following. Robert and James, Michael and Edward. Well, not so lucky for me. Out of all 4 names, the only one I think sounds great with Ethan is Michael, and my nephew already has it. People tell me that I shouldn't care- its a family name, and its a middle name. But, I don't need problems, so that name is pretty much out. So, I guess we will look at Josh's Dad, and I guess it is either going to be Robert or James. (Josh is leaning to James, and I am leaning towards Robert-- LMAO) I knew this was going to happen. Can I catch a break, yet!?? I am sure we will finally decide here coming up this week. :)
SO,.... onto other news- I had my glucose 1 hour a week ago Mon. By Wed. I got the dreaded call that they would say normal levels go up to 130, and my level was at 153. REALLY!?? How the heck did this happen?? Why can't I ever pass that stupid test?? This pregnancy has been SOO different and better than the one with Zach. I haven't gained much weight, except I think I am up to like 22lbs now. In 29 almost 30 weeks, I think I am doing AWESOME. This time last time with Zach, I was probably already at 30lbs. Eating my sleeve of chips-a-hoy and a cupcake daily. Gestational with him-- ok I could see it-- but with Ethan?? I am just not showing the signs/symtpoms except through bloodwork. So, I have to complete and choke down a 3 hour test. I talked to the Dr. and he said that there isn't any other way to monitor things until he gets back a 3 hour. So, no matter how sick I get, how much I feel like passing out, I have to complete the test. I really need to buckle down and just get it done, for the safety of Ethan & myself.
Glucola is NASTY. The way I feel after I drink it stinks, and on top of that, the bottles get bigger when you fail the 1st time. 50ml to 100ml 3 times!! 50 ML- 300ML total. Are they TRYING to kill me?? OH MY GOSH.... UH--- so unlucky!!
So, this week will be attempt number 2. Wish me luck! LOL. I am gonna need it.

Off to get things accomplished. I really need to get moving. ONLY 65 DAYS LEFT possibly. And that's if he doesn't decide to come 2-3 weeks EARLY like Zach did. YIKES!!!!!

XOXOXOXOX
