What's Up?

I'm falling more and more behind with blogs and so I finally installed Chro.me and now commenting works.  I hope this isn't a new trend with Googl.e vs. IE.  We've battled it in school this year and it drove the kids crazy!

I've also finally joined Twi.tter.  Well, I had an account that I used for school before but now I have a personal one, too.  Two of my close friends apparently chat it up often and I felt so left out :)   It's such an easy and quick way to keep up with people.  I don't know why I was so resistant.

There are a few things going on...I'll start with the non-pg stuff.

1.  Monday was our wedding anniversary.  We didn't take an overnight trip this year (as we did the last two years).  Instead, we went to State Coll.ege for the day.  We love going there and buying Penn St.ate stuff.  I woke up early to sign his card (and wake him up to give it to him).  Stupid ass me picked out a "Happy Birthday" card, rather than an anniversary card.  How in the hell does someone do that??

2. My cousin, who is 21, just became a baby daddy for the 2nd time.  Nice to get lapped by someone who can't hold a job, sleeps with anything that, well, you know...  This baby mama is 22 and already has three kids (two different dads).  So, now she has four kids (three different dads) They are "engaged" but aren't getting married because she'll lose her benefits.  Ugh.

3.  We now have two pools in our yard.  Before you go and think that we're independently wealthy, we aren't.  I'm talking about an above-ground one from Wmart that Mr SC just had to have and a small, plastic kiddie pool for our dogs.  Our Doc.k Dog, Nitta.ny, won't get in the thing and just stands there and barks at it.  Lewie, our other dog, (who is afraid of water) enjoys getting in and splashing around.  Go figure.

4.  I don't live in the Midwest, so I realize that this will sound silly to those of you who do (and who have endured much more serious and deadly ones), but we've had four confirmed tornadoes within thirty miles of where I live this year (one specifically was two miles away and another was ten).  Now, when we have a severe thunderstorm warnings, it seriously freaks me out.  We don't have a basement, so the warnings usually lead us to go next door to MIL's with our two dogs.

pg stuff...

1.  The GD is still being managed solely by diet and I've been able to "relax" a bit what I eat and still get readings within normal range.  It's been helpful, too, that Mr SC is eating the same as I am.  He's lost ten pounds, too!

2.  I'm slowly trying to get things ready for the baby.  I get started and then often get sick to my stomach, for fear that this is all going to be for nothing.

3.  Sunday starts our three shots a day of Hep.arin, rather than Lovenox.

And finally...
4.  I'm 35 1/2 weeks pregnant now, which still seems very surreal.   The "big" news from my last OB appt (last Thursday) is that I definitely won't be going past my due date (because of my injections) and the doctor seemed to think that they would have me "go" at 39 weeks.  Yikes!   Baby A's growth is now falling within normal range and I'm thinking that means an induction.

So, that's what's new here.
