No diabetes!!! I am so relieved. This has certainly been a wake-up call that I need to be eating better this pregnancy (obviously, the GD scare had me really thinking about what I was eating)…but it is so good to know that I do not need to check my blood, count my carbs, or worry that having cereal for breakfast (every day! I’ve been a bit…umm…clogged up since I gave it up) or pasta for dinner (but NOT every day) is going to hurt my baby!!
I think I need to celebrate with a donut…
He brought me two carriers in one day!! My new Mei-Tai:
Reversable, for when I am wearing patterns (like the one I am wearing today) that wont go with the patterned carrier. Isn’t it pretty? Don’t you want one? Even if you don’t have a baby, you can pretend you do, or use it for your puppy, or a bunny rabbit!
I got outbid on my first choice, and then fell in love withthis one and got a great deal. I think I actually like it more than my first choice. Also it is preferable since it can be a shoulder bag or back-pack and back-pack is much better for baby-wearing or going somewhere without the stroller. I do tend to baby-wear a lot, and also don’t use a stroller much once my kids are walking (with the the girl I didn’t anyways). With her I had a shoulder bag and a back-pack I switched to when it was more reasonable to use a back-pack (and ended up switching to permanently by the time she was 18 months), but this convertible one is so pretty and seems much more functional:
I think is it still pretty gender neutral? The flowers and pink are a bit girly, but it is green enough that it doesn’t scream “girl”…and anyways…whatever gender this baby is I am still a (very girly) girl!!
I feel a bit…odd…buying stuff for bebe already. This the is first thing I have bought, though I have been eyeing cloth diapers forever. Jews traditionally don’t until our babies come (it is not a religious rule, but rather tradition/superstition). I am not very traditional or superstitious though, and with an Christmas due date that seems like a pretty unrealistic plan anyways!!
I did not wait until after the girl came either…but I did wait until after the big U/S (I have mine on July 25th). Oh well…it is a great bag and if G-d forbid I cannot use it, I am sure I’ll be able to sell it very easily when I am ready, or find someone to gift it to.
Squeee!!!!
Let’s compare to last year’s Sunglasses, shall we (why I was making a bitchface, I’ll never know!)?
O.K., here is a recent one (like, taken 2 minutes ago, in a room with bad lighting and some weird sorta glare).
Is it me, or are the glasses the same? OOPs. Let’s double check, shall we?
Phew, not quite the same. Similar style…but the new ones are darker and wider (and the D&G ones are awful quality, the arms loosen every single time I wear them. I have had them adjusted a million times and need to keep a screwdriver in the car for them!!!
While I am sharing pictures, here is a recent one of her gorgeousness in the adorable outfit my Sister and Brother in Law got her in Israel:
The problem: My cell phone took a little swim in the bottom of my handbag Sunday evening. After doing everything I could think of (taking the battery out, opening all the little input thingamajigs, shaking it madly, drying it with paper towel and then a blow dryer on low heat) it was still not working. It looked dry, and turned on, but the buttons would not work and when I called it did not ring. So, off to google I went.
The solution: Rice. Yup, dry uncooked rice. If you leave a wet cell phone it it, it sucks out the water. I left the phone in a bowl of dry rice all Sunday night. Amazingly, the next morning it worked almost perfectly. I could see some moisure in the display window though, and the back-light never turned off after I closed the phone. So back to the rice it went for the day. When I came home, perfect phone
Who knew?
P.S. I am very lucky I did not ruin the phone permanently because I kept putting the battery in and checking it before I was sure it was dry. If you do this, take out the battery and SIM card immediately, dry the phone with a towel as best you can, than leave it in the rice for a full day before attempting to use it again.
