riDONKulous!

Seriously! That is how I feel today!

Since I started working part time, I have tried to incorporate things in my life that I would like to do before a baby comes into it and I have no energy left for me.

My first thought: I would really like to play the guitar! So, the other day, I head down to Circut City, pick up a beginners CD, and begin learning.

(If only it were that easy... right?) Now, because of this sugar mania, I have to prick my fingers about 12 times a day, so playing and learning the guitar is becoming a sore subject if you will. *Yes I know that was lame, but damn that is how I feel today!*

Second Though: Paint/Draw something. Well, considering I could be the worst drawer, that is not such an easy challenge. But then, I saw a paint by number, and though... aaaha! This is something I can do! Oh yeeah! So I have started that... but what I figured, yet again, is that you have to use the tips of your fingertips. Blugh!

My next quest: a puzzle. Yes, a mind numbing (all be it a cute puzzle) puzzle! This sugar thing is a real pain in my ass, can i just say that!

Eat this, don't eat this, no ice cream for you fatty preggo lady. UGH! Why does health have to be so freaking important? Why can't we all just eat ice cream and donuts and look like God intended us to look.

Oh and did I mention I have to prick my sensitive fingers, yet again, in 20 min? baijdofuodiuflkfj!

Calories Schmalories. Stick your cream filled donught where the sun don't shine!

Diet stuff that works!

Yesterday I headed to a nutritionist/ Nurse practitioner to figure out why I have Gestational Diabetes AND Hypoglycemia, and how I can manage my diet and sugar.

She gave me this awesome website http://www.sparkpeople.com/ and if your pregnant you can go to http://www.babyfit.com/ . They have this awesome thing where you can add everything you eat, and count your calaries. I have to keep at 1800 calaries (because I am schmedium) and I have to eat mostly protein. Easier said than done, but I am sure gonna give it my all.

As of today, I have failed miserably! Keep in mind the normal rate of sugar is 80 - 110. Anything above or below is bad!

Wake up - 7:30ish - sugar 70 (too low)

After breakfast - 130 (too high) - mind you I had 1 egg for breakfast

After mid day snack - 95 - FINALLY!

After lunch - 80 - Yipeee!

and I am to take my sugar again at 6pm

Needless to say I have no idea what is going on with the sugar. First it is too low, then way too high, then back to normal. Hopefully this website is going to keep track of what I CAN and CAN'T eat :)

Amazing Horoscopes?

So I was totally bored yesterday and started researching Brady's horoscope. Not too sure how much of this I believe but you can't say it isn't fun :)

So if he is born right on time he will be a Taurus:
Parents of a Taurus tot are going to have to be very aware of this baby's need to be touched. Loving caresses and a tender touch are what the Taurus baby lives for! Along those lines, this is a child who needs to be comfortable. Things to keep in mind are providing a room and bed that are neither too hot nor too cold, food that is tasty (a budding gourmand has arrived!), soothing sounds, and whimsical toys. As Taurus rules the Second House, the House of Possessions, this baby's playthings will be very important. When it comes to the learning curve, the Taurus baby is not in a hurry to grasp new concepts. This tot will learn things at their own pace and be unresponsive to pressure, yet persevering in the end. In light of this, a gentle manner to get this baby to react and respond is the sensible course of action. Also familial in nature, the Taurus baby will enjoy having the family in close proximity, especially siblings. You can consider this baby a people person in general, as they are also likely to control the play circle where that well-known Taurean stubbornness will reveal itself! To sum up, the Taurus baby wants to be touched, will revel in delicious toys, and as an Earth Sign, will want to have both feet firmly planted on the ground!

If he is born a week early, he will be an Aries:
The Rambo of the play group has arrived! With an Aries baby around, you can expect lots of action and activity in your midst. Don't expect this tot to sit still with a rattle -- it just won't happen. The Aries baby is one who makes a lot of noise and will definitely be heard. There's really no choice! As a Fire sign, the little Ram will be dynamic and always up to something. Will this be a tough baby to deal with? More than likely. To that end, parents would be wise to show this child how to work with other babies early on. Things such as sharing won't come naturally, they must be learned. Even where siblings are concerned, the Aries child won't be a walk in the park. What the Aries baby may want most of all, however, is attention, so parents be well advised. In a play setting, the Aries tot will easily get the attention of others on their own. This baby will also start many things early, the better to get to the finish line, so to speak, in a hurry. To sum up, the Arian baby can be quite independent but enjoys interacting with others. This baby is a fairly physical child and craves constant stimulation. They will be ready from day one!

Ok... hello. I am hoping Brady comes right on time! I don't think I want a Rambo, not sharing child for my very first. Maybe on my 3rd when I have the hang of it? Maybe?

Not like I'm any better, geesh, I'm a Gemini.

What is your horoscope? Are you similar to your sign?

14 Years Ago...

My life changed forever!! I remember it like it was yesterday!

I walked into the kitchen, where my mom and dad were having a casual Sat. lunch, and there on the refridgerator was a very small black and white picture. I stared at it for a minute, opened the fridge, only to shut the door again, and have it stare back at me. The smallest picture, the smallest person, what the hell was that doing on our fridge???

"UM.... MOM.... DAD.... is there something you need to tell me?!?!"
"Well, yes" said my mom. "We didn't know when to tell you... but.... we're having a baby!" She squealed happily!
"I'm sorry... WHAT???? Your WHAT?? You two are like 80! And you have sex! Oh... MY...GOD! My friends are going to freak! What the hell did you do that for?!?"
"Well, dear, we have been trying for a while, and now is the time," she said!
"You've been trying... like having sex... OH MY GOD, you freakin weirdo's, why did you tell me that? Is this some weird teenaged method of birth control, I mean really people, I am only 13! Do you actually think I am having sex?? UGh! Plus you've been married for like 15 years, I thought the sex stopped after 2? OH MY GOD! I am never goin to forgive you two!

As I stormed out of the kitchen I saw the expresion on her face. She was in pure disbelief. She thought I would be happy. I could just tell by her eyes.

I'll never forget calling my BF and telling her the news.
"Dude, your parents are having sex... Ewwww!"
"Yeah, thanks for the support A-hole! What the hell am I going to do with a baby? I mean, I have been an only child for 13 years, and now here they go, screwing that up!!"
"Ah...what's the worst that could happen?"
---------------------------------------------

7 Months later, I was sitting in a hospital room waiting for my baby bro to be born. I wasn't sure what to do, read?, pace?, sleep?. At the age of 14 your really not sure what to do with yourself, let alone a little one. 12 hours in, my dad comes running out of the room...
"He's here!!!!"

As I walk back into the room, I see my mom delivering this squishyist, nastiest piece of who knows what? I turn to my father, in disbelief, and say... "IS.... THAT.... HIM???"

"No" the doctor says, "this is the placenta!"
"Oh for crying out loud!! Will someone please show me my brother, and will someone get my mom some chinese food. That is all she keeps talking about."

As I turn around, there he is. This little, slimey, baby. Crying his lungs out and staring right at me.

"Do you want to hold him?" My dad says.
"Um... no! I don't think so... what if I drop him?"
"You won't drop him honey, you'll be fine. Here... I will show you."

Daddy put the little guy in my arms and he silenced for a moment. I just remember sitting there holding this little human. My first and only sibling. What was it going to be like with him around? I remember thinking. What would he be like? He sure looked like mom. Blonde hair, pale skin, blue eyes. He didn't even look Italian. Then, the weirdest sensation. I loved him like a child, not really like a brother, but I loved him like a brother, not really like my child.
------------------------------------

So folks, I sit here today. 7 Months pregnant and my baby bro turning 13. What a weird moment in time. Such an incredible turn of events! How amazing the circle of life reallly is!

I love you baby bro. More like a child, but always like a brother!!!

Random Why's?

Why is it that when you marry someone, you seem to marry everyone??
You know, like in a movie, you can't just watch the main characters, there are always "extras" in a scene that you need to watch?

As if marriage weren't hard enough, sometime these "extras" feel the need to pop in and say hello, as if we had forgotten about them?

Sometimes it makes me crazy, and I wish all the "extras" could work on their own relationships as opposed to giving their opinion on yours!

Maybe I would be better off in an idie film, where there were only main characters, (b/c the budget was too small), that way I could really focus on what is important.
-----------------------

Why is it my plant will not grow :( I have an ivy, and I broke a piece off, so I could have another ivy, but apparently this ivy doesn't really like the break away/water thingy. It doesn't want to grow, and that saddens me.
----------------------

Why is it that when taking prenatals, some fingernails grow and other don't. I have 2 nails that break consistantly, while the others make me look like I am going for some Guiness book of world records?

Any werid Why's you have today??
