What next....

Ok, so this is a what will happen next blog but I will also update you life or rather the pregnancy. So first things first.

As you might remember, we went to Manzanita, Oregon for Monica & DJ's wedding a few weeks ago. Well, as we were driving through Seaside, we were informed by the person behind us that we had a flat...thank goodness for good citizens. John and I both didn't feel like we were driving on a flat but we were. So we got that fixed and vowed to start saving for a new SET of tires after we take my studs off my car in April....flash forward to yesterday, September 30th.

I had to nanny at 6am and had been up since 4am because one of our phones decided to die and beep constantly at us....UGH!!!!!!!! So as I am getting out, Mr. Schuler was inspecting my car, or rather my front drivers side tire. I heard a hissing but to my tired mind/brain it sounded like a sprinkler system. Oh no, it was a flat. Aidan got out, and we went over and literally watched it go flat in 30 seconds!! Crazy. So, I called John he got up again and came over to change it. I wasn't going to get my 25 week pregnant self to change it. Yes I am lazy. I am ok with that.

So I went to Les Schwab today to get it changed because I ran out of time yesterday while Aidan was at school. 1 hour 30 minutes later......I have a $127 NEW tire. Now I only need 3 more. In Seaside they had one that had the same tread and was used that I could buy for $30 so we did that. So now I get to replace 3 instead of 4 tires. Aren't I lucky. I think its crazy that both tires weren't able to be patched because the inner wall of the "Seaside tire" was absolutely destroyed and this one the screw was "too close to the inner wall to replace." UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was pretty darn frustrated since we didn't want to spend the money not to mention we have ALL our bills due at the first half of the month. Oh and on top of that, the 30-45 minutes they said it would take turned into just to see what was wrong and then it took another 45 minutes to decide what to do and to get the new tire on the car. Oh well. Next time John can do it. I am not into all that car stuff. That's John's department.

Onto something more fun. I had my blood draw yesterday that shows how my sugars have been over the last 3 months or so. They had me call back instead of leaving results on the answering machine. The gal couldn't get over how good they were. ANything under 6 is good apparantly. My hemoglobin A1C was at 5.1 so I am taking that as good. My mom was wondering why they are having me come in so often then. OH well, I guess it just shows that I am doing what I need to do to control the diabetes so that my baby comes out healthy and SMALL!!! Oh and she still (as of my last u/s) was in the 54%!!! After Aidan that REALLY excites me because it means that my baby might actully be a smaller baby!!! Wahoo!! Ok, off to bed, this baby is doing flips and I am getting more and more uncomfortable. So fun. Have a great night!!
