If I've ever said anything on my blog about my dad it was most likely negative. I hate that, I really do. There are many relationships that are in my life that I wish were different, and the one I have with my dad is one of those. We've never been 'close', our rare phone calls last usually less than 10 minutes and I only see him once or twice a year. I will not get into details regarding my childhood, as those things cannot be changed, what is done is done. I can only hope for a better future. I called him last night. When we got off the phone, it showed that we talked for 29 minutes and 48 seconds. I need to let that sink in folks. Almost a half an hour! And it was all CONVERSATION. It was GREAT. It really was! At one point, he mentioned that there was a guy in his office who was a few years older than him, Dad asked him why he was still working. They guy replied that he needed the benefits. Dad told me that the man had 2 whole walls in his office covered in pictures of his grandkids. Shortly after their conversation the man died, in that office. Dad then told me of some of his own health issues and that he is considering going on short term disability and possibly for good. He said, get this, that he didn't want to die in his office, he wants to spend time with and enjoy his kids and his grandkids! :insert shock and amazement from daughter here: As we ended our call, he said, I love you, take care of yourself, and take care of my grandkid! That comment rocked my world. I don't know why, maybe its pregnancy hormones, but it did. I was on cloud 9 when I got back to the house. C even noticed and asked what happened. I related most of the conversation to him and he too was shocked but had a big grin on his face. One 30 minute phone call like that can heal a whole lot of wounds.
C has been sick. I mean S.I.C.K!!! He was bad starting on Sunday, I guess, but still went to work Monday morning, then to the dr on Mon afternoon... and hasn't been back in all week. He worked from home on Tues. & Wed., but on Thursday he sent his supervisor an email saying I'm in bed today. They pretty much left him alone too. Friday however, he got many phone calls from work and had to log in from home for a few hours. I finally got him to call the dr's office and say hey, what you gave me on Mon just ain't doin it. They called in a new 'scrip for him. Hopefully, this one will stop this virus soon. Unfortunatly, I think I'm coming down with it now.
Monday we see the Perinatologist for another level 2 ultrasound or sonogram. I don't really know what the difference is. I'm excited to see the baby again. Oh, guess I should tell you that I've started to feel some movement in there. I get nervous now though, when I don't feel the baby everyday, I know totatlly normal, but still... I'm high risk, and my aunt has had 2 stillborns, so I worry.
Had the 1 hour glucose test sometime last week, they called w/ the results on Monday... abnormal. I had to do the 3 hour on Wednesday, got the results on Thursday... abnormal. I'm expecting a call from a dietician on Monday. Soooooooooooo very bummed about this news. My fasting sugar level was fine, the 1st and 2nd hour levels were high, but the 3rd hour my level bottomed out. By the time we got home for lunch that day I was shaking like a leaf and couldn't get food in my mouth fast enough! Then I promptly took a 2 hour nap! :D
I *think* that is all for now, so,
till next time...

Hey cool about the pops...maybe he is finally "seeing the light" Too bad his son hasn't. Dont worry about the glucose test your sugars will be fine once you deliver. They will monitor your diet till then.
Tell C to take vit.c and Euchanicia and Zinc too. love ya -Stacy 0 :)
So happy to read about your dad! YAY! Keilani is reading on the floor behind me and she heard the music, looked up and said, hey, "That's Sister -----'s fridge." Thought is was funny that she instantly knew your fridge, and a little weird too. :) Praying for C... tell him to drink water!
Love ya
That is great about your Dad! Don't you just love it when God works things a certain way just when He knows you need it. We will keep believing that this is just the beginning of a blossoming relationship for you and your Dad. We hope that y'all get to feeling better soon!

On my birthday, I like to PAY someone to clean my coolerador. :D
I'm so glad you had an awesome conversation with your dad!!!
Oh yeah, It's awesome about your dad. From the time I told my dad I was pregnant, it really changed things in a really positive way. I know how much that means and how great that made you feel! It's awesome! Love you! Oh, and Michele says hello. I will have to send her the link to your blog.
awesome about your dad!!!! and you only clean your fridge once a year?! geesh...you may not ever know what I go through! 1 kid probably won't have quite as much impact as 4 rofl
hope hubby feels better!
Wouldn't worry about not feeling the baby =) Happened with both of mine. YOu feel movement, then you don't. Doesn't mean the baby isn't moving- just means that He/She isn't kicking or punching your outter wall of your uterus. I even can recall a sono I had where I told them I hadn't felt the baby, and the sono either/ deb or Noah was going nutz. The sono tech explained I couldn't feel it b/c they were kicking inwardly & that even at 20 weeks the baby has quite alot of room to move in there. But, us new mom's always like to worry!
God's blessed yah- He has you and "bigger" bean in his hands
<3 Love yah
