Weekend/Monday Extravaganza!

I shall start with Friday. (This may be a long blog, sorry in advance, but hey, I'm not forcing you to read it!)

Friday:
On Friday I worked the usual 9 to 5 and let me tell you. The 9 to 5 seemed like a 6am to midnight shift. It took FOREVER! I didn't mind looking at the pretty snowfall until I had to leave work and drive in it. It really wasn't THAT bad, but the first drive out in the snow is just kind of scary. Especially now that I am pregnant I am extra paranoid about driving in the snow. Ask anyone, I drive worse than a grandma in the wintertime! Even when it isn't necessary what so ever! It gives me anxiety I can't help it! I went to my sisters to borrow some movies and also ate some Subway. MMMMM I loooove subway so much. I used to hate it. Well let me back track a tad. You see, I worked a subway for quite some time...and so after I stopped working there I couldn't bare to eat it since I had eaten it so often when I had worked there. I took about a 3 year break from Subway and just fell in love with it all over again like I was before I started working there. I have eaten it stinkin like 5 times in the last 2 weeks I bet. BMT Monetary Cheddar bread with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo and vinegar. Wow my mouth is watering. Next subject please. Then I drove to Menomonie to meet Cody at his house after he got done with work. We started watching Night at the Roxbury, but I can not stay awake watching a movie for longer than an hour max. Therefore, Cody and I always have to split up our movies. Half and half. Bahaha, the joys of having me as a girlfriend I bet. We went to bed actually pretty early (earlier than usual that is) because we had to get up super early on Saturday morning to head to Milwaukee to get all of my stuff.
Saturday:
My Saturday morning was SUPPOSED to start at 4:45am. Cody pushed stinkin END instead of SNOOZE on his alarm so we didn't get up until 5:43. Waking up in a panic that freakin early was not ideal for me. Brian Moe (good family friend/Mom's boyfriendishthing) was leaving at exactly 5am with the truck and the trailer to head to Milwaukee. Cody and I drove separate because I just didn't feel like a pregnant lady sitting in the middle seat of a truck uncomfortable for that long would be something I was interested in. Anyways, we were 45 minutes behind when we were supposed to leave and I was so frightened he was going to get there before us! We got on the road and started our journey to Milwaukee. Now, in case you are wondering why we were going to Milwaukee to get my "stuff" let me elaborate. I was living in Milwaukee prior to me living in my home area now. I am on a lease for a house in Milwaukee currently, and it is not done until May. Sucks butt. But regardless, I wanted to move home to be close to family during this time and also for when baby Axton is born! My family is very important to me, therefore I wanted to have them very near through such an important time in my life. It isn't my favorite thing to do when I have to write a check out for rent on a place I don't even live at, but such as life. It is worth it to be able to be close to my fam. Anyhow, I still had basically everything I own at this house besides my clothes. (In fact I even still had MORE of that there still. I have A L O T of clothes) Since Cody and I are moving into an apartment relatively soon...in the next 15 daysish....I needed to go get all my stuff so our apartment wouldn't be empty. The road trip went dandy and we actually beat Brian to my place! Imagine that! I didn't even have to stop and take a pee once the whole trip can you believe it!? Anyways, when we got there I still had a lot of packing to do so I did that while Cody and Brian packed the truck and trailer nice and tight with all my precious belongings! They worked very well together! I am glad that Brian could help me out with all of this. He is always willing to help my family out whenever we need it! Its nice to have a male figure in my life I can always count on! (Well, besides Cody of course!) We got back to Menomonie at exactly 5:20! I know that we got back at exactly 5:20 because Cody and I had made a bet. I have made the drive from Milwaukee to home PLENTY of times and can pretty much guess the exact time I will be back...to the minute basically. Cody said we would be back at 5:30 and I said...nah...either 5:19 or 5:20. He thought I was ridiculous and I was just saying 5:19/5:20 to be a smartass but really it was my serious estimate time of arrival. We put a piece of tape over my clock in my car so we couldn't cheat (aka speed up the driving or slow down the driving) We pulled in the parking lot and took the tape off and it said 5:19 and one millisecond later turned 5:20.
GOSH
I
AM
GOOD.
Cody nearly pooped his pants but I told him very early on...I am mostly always right.
Sunday:
Sunday we met up with Brian to unload everything at my Mom's house for the time being. Slightly frustrating because we were SUPPOSED to move into our apartment on the 1st..so we were just going to keep everything packed so we wouldn't have to unpack and pack it twice. However, our plans didn't go through as we wanted and we cannot move in until the 15th. The lady thought she was be kind (after already being unkind by telling us she changed the date to the 15th) and say that we can move in Friday the 13th. For one..creepy. For two, good thing I'll be in Waukesha that weekend for my baby shower and I won't even be able to move in. COOOOOL! Regardless, after they unpacked the stuff while I sat and watched thinking how nice it is not to be allowed to lift really heavy things, we went over to my sisters house for Sunday Funday duh! <--- this has been a tradition since I have moved home. She takes my weekly pregnancy picture every Sunday as well. I am trying not to post ANY pictures of my belly this month so that when I am 7 months along and post the updated series picture, I will be very very much larger.
Monday:
I actually slept really good last night which is really surprising considering Cody's brother was very loudly listening to TECHNO music ALLLLLL night long. I'm talkin, techno music until like 4am. Really dude? Is that necessary for survival I think not. I was going to go give him a nice little..."I'm pregnant...really need my sleep..and REALLY don't like every wall shaking with the massively loud BUMP to every bass beat" However, I refrained. It is not my apartment, and it is not my place to complain. So I made Cody do it. bahaha. Anyhow, this morning I had my monthly doctors appointment. I just went to the doctor last Friday for my hearing issue I'm having. Let me catch you up my good luck that I have with EVERYTHING. For one, I have had ear problems my ENTIRE life...but as I have gotten older...it has gotten a lot better. However, from all my ear problems I have had in the past, I have lost quite a bit of hearing in my right ear. Anyways, I have been fighting this disgusting sinusitis for about a month and a half now and it just doesn't seem to be going away. Fine, I can deal with that. However, the last 2 weeks have been absolute HELL because I can not hear a single thing. When I say that, I am not joking. I am typing on the keyboard right now, and I cannot even hear the clicky keyboard sounds. I can BARELY hear the phone ring, and when people are talking to me...I really do not hear most of what they are saying. The word "what?!" has increased in my daily vocabulary by 200%. That is why I went to the doctor last Friday. Apparently my sinusitis has caused my Eustachian tubes to swell shut making it impossible for my ear fluid to drain how it is supposed to. Therefore, all this fluid is just hanging out having the time of its life behind my ear drums causing me to hear not a single thing. Awesome. I looooove things like this. He put me on some medicine...which I am not fond of taking medicine while I am pregnant..even if it is pregnancy safe stuff. Regardless, it hasn't done jack squat and the doc told me today that there isn't anything else they can really do. AWESOME. I couldn't eat breakfast this morning because today I got tested for gestational diabetes. I had to drink this orange beverage that was enough to make me vomit all over myself. It was basically like orange pop...without the carbonation..with out the sugar, and with a tinge taste of poop. I got to hear Axton's heartbeat which was 156! When he put the thing on my stomach with the cold gel Axton kicked there immediately, so then the doc lost his heartbeat. Then he put it somewhere else and Axton kicked it out of the way AGAIN. Basically, Axton must not like the cold gel...and found it amusing for Dr. Sorenson to play..find Axton's heartbeat. :) My little bugger is just going to LOOOOVE coming into the world in February in Wisconsin! I really want to do everything that I can to not get induced and also to not get a C-section. I am going for a natural birth with no medications and have requested for the doc to not even mention such things to me when I'll be wanting them the most. I found out that the test came back positive for gestational diabetes. Poop. Just my luck..AGAIN. I want to do everything I can to keep baby Axton safe so when I go back to the doctor in a couple days for more testing, hopefully we can figure out the best plan of action for me and Axton. No wonder this little guy is a chunker. He's takin alllll the good stuff from me since my body isn't producing enough insulin!
Okay fine I will stop writing now.
