one word to sum up how I feel lately. exhausted.

boys are doing well. just driving me nuts while I'm trying to pack. speaking of packing. we pack the truck up in 2 days. yikes. this day next week will be our last day in Pennsylvania for who knows how long. I'm sick of packing. I'm even more sick of not getting any help with the packing. Thank goodness, the kitchen is almost fully packed. I need more boxes.

everything is going well with baby girl. no names yet. latest weight check, I'm up 6 lbs from the beginning. blood pressure has been good, last check was 106/58. however I failed the last 3 hour glucose test. barely of course. so I'm back to sticking myself 4 times a day until baby girl's arrival. It could have been worse had it been diagnosed weeks ago. The good news is that our insurance covers the testing supplies fully. yay! that's one stress off my mind, especially knowing how much they cost without insurance.

well, I need to get off here and start making dinner.

I've forgotten how tiring packing is. need to get more boxes so I can pack more.

The plan right now is to pack up the apartment Sept 28-29. We'll clean all day on the 30th. Stay with my parents Oct 1-3. Josh found out if he stays until the 3rd that he'll get an extra paycheck 2 weeks later, so we figure its worth it.

We're going to use U-Pack moving for our trip. Basically we'll pack up our stuff at their terminal and they'll drive the truck to KY for us. Going this route saves us abut $400-500 since we won't be paying for gas on another truck. We just need to find some help unpacking the truck in KY.

Plans for this week are to find a place to live. We have a friend who's going to look at the places we're interested in for us, to make sure they aren't dumps.

I also need to call the OB's office I'd like to go to in Lexington. I tried on Friday, but they close early on Friday's apparently.

Tomorrow I have yet another GD test. Three 1 hour tests and one 3 hour test have already been done. If I pass this three hour test, then I doubt I'll be tested again. One can only hope, right? Also have my late 30 week appointment tomorrow, it had to be rescheduled due to flooding at the OB's office last week. How sad is it that I'm excited about going to the doctor's by myself???? (Josh has taken a half day)

That's about it, Michael's birthday is Thursday. still in denial that I'll have a THREE year old in a few days.

We're on the move!!!


Josh and I have been planning to move to Kentucky for the last 6+ months or so. Saturday we decided it was better to get this done before baby girl makes her arrival, so we'll be moving the first week of October. I'm a little nervous, but more excited than anything. I'm one of those weird people that loves to move. Of course with moving comes a lot of work. Lots of packing and cleaning, so I am beginning to foresee how my days/evenings will be spent for the next few weeks.


I know its been awhile. the past month has been filled with dentist appointments for me. 5 fillings, a cleaning, and basically 2 root canals later (one was an old root canal that had to be redone)... I'm done with the dentist until January or so when I have to get two crowns on the root canals. All that work on top of the extraction back in February caused me to max out my dental benefits for the year. fun times!

Also coming up is Michael's birthday. he'll be THREE in a little over 2 weeks. he has become so much more verbal. he counts to 5 now, though he usually skips the number 1. he's definitely a daddy's boy. everything is about daddy. I try to get him to say "I love mommy" and he always says, "I love daddy." sigh...someday, right?

Tristan had his 15 month check up a bit ago. He's weighing in at 27 lbs 4 oz and is 32" tall. This one keeps me busy. always into something or climbing something. the boys love to play together and chase each other around the room.

that's about it for now! I'll try to be better about posting when it gets near to baby girl's arrival, only about 11 weeks to go!
