Very Interesting
i was talking with my sister this morning, having our usual saturday morning conversation where she asks me a gazillion questions and i barely get in a word edgewise as the next question is being fired at me before i get one answer out, but that's how it is. i've kinda learned to talk over her just to say one or two sentences as i tend to have a short temper and don't like being cut off.
anyway, we're talking about the baby, as she's due in march, which we are all quite excited about it. well, i should say, me, my parents, and my brother are all champing at the bit to meet the newest member of our family. i imagine my sister will be happy when she's not pregnant, as pregnancy is quite taxing on her. for starters, my sister is in great shape and quite trim, so the extra weight is hugely exhausting. and pregnancy, from what i hear, is just a tiring experience as you're working for two people.
and while occasionally i do hear loud ticking to have a baby, i'm simply too selfish and would make a wretched, horrid mother. i can say this because i like our life the way it is. i don't like working around other's schedules and that doesn't work with a baby--you pretty much are on their time, all the time. plus, i have a terrible feeling i would be very overbearing and have the kid bundled up when it's 80 degrees outside. just a recipe for disaster. the adorable one is not fond of kids either, so it's never been an issue.
i mostly detest kids as they've ruined meals, shopping expeditions, movies, sporting events, etc. no matter where we go, there's one squalling at the top of their lungs, howling, kicking, and being a nuisance. i blame the parents who do nothing to discipline their little monsters. frankly, if it was up to me, kids would not be allowed on planes, at vacation resorts, and i would pay more to go to a kid-free movie theater, grocery store, etc. so yes, i hate kids.
i do like my nephew--he's a sweet kid, although spoiled rotten. i can say that as i am partly responsible for spoiling him. i can't say "no" and he knows it. so, he's got me wrapped around his pinky finger big time and i don't mind it. we've bought him a shitload of presents and the new baby is already well on its way to having every classic pooh item from target.
anyhoosa, the point i was going to bring up is that my sister mentioned that she is going for her second gestational diabetes test in january since she failed the first one. the adorable one mentioned that his sister also had gestational diabetes, but from my understanding, the diabetes only exists while the woman is pregnant. i don't know if it means that the baby is automatically diabetic--i think the adorable one's nephew, has it, but i don't know if it's a genetic thing.
i longed to talk to her about diabetes, since i'm a type 2, but there's too much risk that she would put me on the hot seat, every week, on how i'm handling it, if i've seen my doctor, what i'm doing to take care of myself, and on and on and on. it would be endless. my mom would pull the same crap with me, even though it's none of her business. hence, i live in the closet with diabetes.
the strangest part about it, is that my health has improved since being diagnosed. how weird is that? yay, i don't think we would be eating better, losing weight, and starting our exercise program. so, as they say, life works in mysterious ways.
in other news of the weird, i have cravings to drink alkeehol, which is not like me. i've never been a big drinker, but lately i'm craving cosmos, champagne, and all kinds of drinkie drinks. and i've gone somewhat beserko eating cheese and crackers, which the adorable one has allowed us to have around the house--it is the holidays after all!
and i have all kinds of crazy energy. while the adorable one was at flag football practice this morning, instead of staying home and watching the food network, i returned some dvds, gassed up the car, and dropped off a paperback book to the library as a donation. i even made the bed when i got home. how bizzaro is that?
