This week in the Guillena family....
We went swimming on Monday at the city pool down the street. They had a lazy river, a couple waterslides, a kiddie play area, and 2 diving boards!!! Brinley wanted to jump off the diving board, so she jumped a few times. Then Meggie really wanted to jump. I asked the lifeguard if there was an age limit, and she said there wasn't, as long as she can swim. So...our little Megger jumped off the diving board...over and over and over again. It was actually pretty funny to see such a little girl jumping off, but she just loved it! She probably jumped off 10 times or so.
I spent a good 3+ hours at the Doctor's office on Tuesday. My 1 hour glucose tolerance test came back high, so I had to go in for the 3 hour. I couldn't eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the test. My regular appointment was at 1pm, so I figured I could go at 10am and be done at 1pm for my appointment. So, I didn't eat, or drink....then I was busy at home with the kids and stuff, and then it was 11, then 12, and I figured I would just do it another day. But, I still hadn't eaten so I decided to just do it anyway. I didn't get the first poke til 1pm, so I was there starving until 4pm...and they wouldn't even let me drink water. Uggh. Anyway, the good news was I lost one pound since my last appointment. The doctor didn't think it was good news, but I did! It couldn't have anything to do with me being on a 18 hour fast or anything.
Work is going pretty well. It has been really slow here lately without a lot of babies in our nursery. I did get to give my first baby bag/mask ventilation at a delivery though. It wasn't as exciting or scary as I thought it'd be, and the baby turned around pretty quick and started crying and breathing on it's own. I guess that's what's supposed to happen though :)
We are all getting excited and anxious for our new addition. Especially me. I can't wait to not be pregnant! Brinley's latest name for the baby is Elizabeth, and Meggie's is Emily. Yea, we're not using either of those. Rob is still set on Robbie. I don't have any strong feelings one way or the other. Nothing seems to stick or feel right yet. So...if anyone has any great name suggestions send them our way.
We are enjoying the Arizona heat...mostly. It hasn't been too bad. Most days are around 100 degrees. But we haven't hit the 110 mark yet. We will see how the summer goes...and the air conditioning bill.
I can definitely see Meggie jumping off that diving board! She is turning into a little fish! The pool sounds a lot like the Lindon Pool! Sounds life fun!
ReplyDeleteNo fun about all the glucose testing! If I was tough like you, I would have loved to be a L&D nurse. I'm far too big of a wimp though, I'm glad there are awesome women that can handle it though. I bet you get to see some pretty amazing things! (And hopefully not too many sad things!)
ReplyDeletehaha i wish i'd been there to see her jumping. i bet it was pretty funny.
ReplyDeletei'm excited for your baby too!!! i'll think of some names and send them your way.
Was there any spring in the board when Meg jumped, or was it just like jumping off a raised floor for her? :)
ReplyDeleteIf you name the baby Elizabeth, I'll call her Bethany for short. Millie would like that.
If you don't go with any of the names you've heard yet... you could always name her Zezah... just to make Cari mad. But then your child has to grow up with the name Zezah... probably not worth it.
Beat the heat, spend more time at your local air conditioned Wal-Mart! :)
Actually for Meg it was more like cliff diving than jumping off a diving board.
