GTT Time!

Today I have my second GTT test. Whohooo! I had one at 16 weeks (which is terribly early in my non-medical opinion) due to me having gestational diabetes with Dahlia. That was fun. But I passed! Today, at 28 weeks, I'm not as confident that I'll get a passing grade. I guess I will know by this afternoon. I also get my first Rhogam shot! How come Steve doesn't have to do any of these very pleasant things? haha. Oh well.....

Side Note: Dahlia went to bed like a NORMAL child last night & slept all night...in fact as of 7:48am (now) she is still sleeping!!! Whohooo!

Whee! Sleeping babies are adorable. Even more so because they are not screaming. I don't know what a rhogum shot is either.

I always thought it was a bit odd, and money oriented, when doc still told me I had to have an RH shot when Pete and I are both O-. But, I guess they know more about genes than I do (since I slept through most of that stuff in college too).

Rhogam is needed (uh, wikipedia-it...) when you have a -Rh factor in your blood - ie: I'm A- and Steve is...um, not negative. I had 2 shots with Dahlia because if she was positive Rh factor our blood mixing could be an issue (for me).

Holly - that is weird that you had Rhogam even if you & Pete have the same blood type! But I...uh, can't remember all that stuff from school either....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

The Screaming

Someday I'll stop posting about my daughter's inability to sleep & the screaming. But today's not the day! New developments from the house of NO SLEEP. Now instead of going to bed awesomely on a very regular basis, she NEVER goes to bed! Not only does she NOT go to bed, she still wakes up in the middle of the night! She still will not sleep in her crib and she still screams for hours and hours. It's getting worse! I guess be careful what you complain about, eh? Last night she cried, no, screamed, from the time we put her down (just after eight) until almost 10 o'clock. Steve or I would go in every 15 minutes or so to "comfort her" (fat lot that did) and she was incredibly CLINGLY, grabbing on for dear life. What is going on? Finally nearish to ten I got her up and brought her downstairs WHERE she was happy as a lark. Playing with Beavis, climbing on us, requesting Baby Einstein videos (declined). I was exhausted and wanted to go to bed. So much for any...
