I am starting to feel so uncomfortable. The baby is mostly all up in the top part of my belly, or it feels that way anyway. My stomach is mostly popped out at the top too, not at the bottom at all. I'm sure I look odd. Heh. Last night I felt so bloated, all the pizza I ate probably didn't help, but still. I've recently started waking up a lot at night too. I can't stay comfortable. I probably wake up 5-6 times a night anymore. Our air conditioner is still fucked up and we're lucky if we can keep it at 80* in the daytime in here -- which is nowhere near as cool as I like it to be. I'll be glad for this baby to be born, and then for winter to get here. This summer baby shit is for the birds.
I had to go do my glucose testing yesterday. Luckily my OB arranged for me to do it at a local clinic, so I wouldn't have to drive up there and then hang out for an hour after drinking that stuff. So I got up early and went and did it. I was so hungry and so thirsty by the time they finally drew the blood and I could eat. I hope the results are good, I do not want to experience the three hour test.
Mackenzie and I went and did some school shopping yesterday, too. We got her two pair of jeans (one khaki and one blue), a pair of capri pants, four shirts and some socks. She also got a new backpack, her's from last year broke midway through the year and she had to use her one from Kindergarten (which was one of the clear-types) to finish the year. Hunter still has his from 2nd grade that he can reuse. I told her I want her to use this one for two years also. Heh. I went ahead and picked up some glue and crayons too, since I know some of the basics of what she'll need. I have no clue what Hunter will need.
I found some good deals on shorts for Hunter, too. They are clearancing a lot of summer stuff, so I got him two pairs of shorts for $5 each (the capri pants for Kenzie were also clearanced at $11). Unfortunately one pair is too small, so I have to take them back and exchange them today. Then I also got him four shirts and socks. He doesn't like one of the shirts, so it has to go back today too. It was a clearance shirt at $3, so I don't know if I'll be able to find something to replace it. I considered keeping it and putting it up on Ebay, but it's only a $6 shirt to begin with, so I don't know what I'd get out of it. It is so hard to get Hunter's sizing right. He wears different sizes in different brands. In Faded Glory shorts/pants, he wears an 8 Husky. But in Bugle Boy, he wears a 12 Husky! Can you believe the difference? Crazy. The shorts that are too small are a BB 12, which according to the tag is for boys 73-85 pounds or something like that. The Husky size is for 73-95 pounds, and Hunter is 94 pounds. I don't know why I didn't realize when I was buying that I was picking a 12H and a regular 12 and that one of them would either be too small or too big. Duh me. Heh.
So anyway, that'll get them started. They do have a few things left from the summer that are still in good school shape. They'll both need new shoes and underwear before their first day, though. I wish they'd put the supply lists out a few weeks early so I could go ahead and be buying that stuff, but they wait until a couple of days before school starts.
