[Gestational] Diabeetus
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have failed my one hour blood glucose test. What does this mean? Pretty much nothing other than I have to go back and redo the test for three hours. Which really isn’t...

An Actual Army Update
I.e. I will not discuss my irrational cleaning spree. I am pretty sure I mentioned yesterday that S’s paperwork was finished, signed, and turned in for a Combined Logistics Captain’s Career Course...

Pessimism is Failing Me
Whenever I get optimistic about something, it’s bound to go wrong. The whole South Carolina disaster, the threat of Gestational Diabetes, and pretty much our entire [on-hold] adoption journey are...

Wall, Meet Forehead.
No news. About anything. I got up bright and early this morning (6:45. Gross) for my Diabeetus test (I’m sorry, I just can’t NOT spell it diabetes). S was able to be home with E this morning (took some...

Proof Optimism is a Terrible Idea
Well, S heard from branch. He got none of the classes he requested. Instead, he doesn’t report until the end of May. He seems to think there is some silver lining–e.g. we are not moving with a newborn...

75%
Baby girl #2, affectionately known as Sister Potter (as per her older sister E’s insistence), is approximately 75% of the way done baking. In other words, we have about 70 days/10 weeks left until her...

Diabeetus
Well, if’s official. The diabeetus is NOT in me! I celebrated by taking S lunch and drinking sweetened coffee after E went upstairs for her nap. I also grabbed some rice krispies (for rice krispy...

Insomnia, Anger, and Annoyance
I’m not entirely sure why I am still awake other than the fact that E is still up and chattering away at midnight and no matter how hard I try, I just can’t let myself go to sleep when I know she could...

A Trip to L&D
S somehow managed to get lucky, and for the second time in as many weeks, he pulled a “weekend” staff duty shift. Granted, the one two weekends ago was a Friday, which technically counts as a weekday,...

Orders
E and I went to visit S at work today for a few minutes when our plans were slightly rearranged. He was excited to show me he had a whole folder just for his CLC3 (Combined Logistics Captains Career...

Rude Awakening
Last time I was this pregnant, I had no husband. Okay, let me clarify: I had a husband, but he was at his Quartermaster Basic Officer Leadership Course at Fort Lee (see a pattern, here?). The Army...

Football and Due Date
I think it’s official and the midwife should just go ahead and change my due date to November 2, 2013. Why? Because that is the day that Air Force and Army play each other this football season. Why is...

I’m Never Driving Again
Well, it happened. I had to turn E’s car seat. She is now a forward facer. My plan had been to keep her rear-facing as long as possible. I was optimistically hoping for 4 or 5 and pessimistically...

It’s Going to Look Like I am a First Time Mom
I have started to think about what I need to pack for the hospital. We’re almost 7 weeks out, but E was a week early, exactly, and I am starting now so that as I remember things, I have plenty of time...

Hormonal Temper Tantrum
The more I read the information given to me about our Army hospital (and birth center), the more depressed I get. Northside in Atlanta, where I had E, is [un]affectionately known as the baby factory....

Driver’s License Nightmare
Renewing my driver’s license has been a nightmare. A nightmare that has now been going on for almost two months. Two weeks ago, I broke down and wrote to my state representatives. This pretty much sums...

A Hodge Podge of Crap
I’m having an off day and can’t focus on any one thing. So, enjoy this compilation of not-so-focused ramblings. The Ga Department of Driver’s Services says they mailed my license out to Wa today. I am...

Random Update
I just had the most boring post prepared for you, but deleted it. No one wants to read that. Here’s the gist of it: S got word yesterday that he will not be leaving his current company to work in...

Super Villain Walk
Still doin’ the super villian shuffle. I wish I knew what I could do to avoid this godawful pain every morning and evening, but I haven’t really figured it out. The worst part about it is that E is...
