Day 9

So I stayed a home body most of the day again.  Everyone made it safely home.  I was so happy to see hubby and Zeke.  We decided to try and sneak one more weekend away before the baby is born, or at least try the first weekend that would work is the first one in September...As long as the little one doesn't decided he needs to come earlier.

Hubby and I texted mostly yesterday on his way home.  I think he missed me as much as I missed him.  I don't know if I'd be able to do it again and I don't think I want to try either.  But I am thrilled that all my "guys" are back in one spot.

Day 8

So far the day is semi improving.  Finally heard from them in TX and yep kinda like hubby and I thought chaotic mess.  They got to TX had to find some place for my niece to eat because of her allergy, they were late getting to the hotel which made them late getting to the rehearsal.  Rehearsal dinner was only suppose to go till 9 it went till 10:30.   There were some issues on Friday as well, but I won't get into detail.

Now it sounds like hubby might try to start back home today, but he got sick threw up twice, and is currently resting.  I hope he feels better.  I told him even if he drove part way tonight and finished tomorrow would be good.  There's no way he'd drive the whole way now...if it took him 12 to 13 hours to get down there, reason would be the same amount of time back...which would put him at 2 or 3 in the morning if he drives straight through....

As for me I'm being a home body today and I really don't care.  I'm working on 5 hours of sleep and I myself could take a nap, will I, probably not.  Probably won't go to church tonight either...no ambition to do much of anything today....

Day 7 and beginning of Day 8

Day 7 wasn't too bad.  It went pretty fast as I was working on my hobbies reset at work, and I got most of the wedding present done.  Hubby went to an auction and got a frame only to see that the glass was cracked and the frame itself was falling apart.  His aunt's companion is going to see if he can fix it.  Then found out ( and this is the beginning of Day 8, didn't go to bed till after midnight, though I think I actually found out on day 7...) that more then likely I will have to wait another day to see my hubby...because his aunt needs help loading table and setting tables up with her thing and her companion needs help loading and unloading a tractor.  Though depending on the time he might still leave on Day 8 but it look more like Day 9...needless to say some tears were shed on my part, and I cried myself to sleep...really was feeling like chopped liver yesterday.  The parents didn't call when they landed in TX and now I have to wait to see my hubby.  I know the hormones I'm sure aren't helping, but come on people!

Day 6

Well today went fast at work.  I got my hobbies reset and was working on trying to fit all my deletes on the clearance wall.  I ended up getting a table to put the models and some other items on to make it all fit.

Hubby had part of the day to himself so went in to town and had lunch.  He stopped at one of the stores and got some stuff animals for the baby (hopefully they are sewn eyes).  He texted me and asked me if there was anything I needed from town...really?  I told him to surprise me and bring it home on Saturday...that was at lunch.  He asked me at break, so I told him another dog, but that I was just kidding.  So he's going to see if he can get something at the auction tomorrow...so there go my hopes of him coming home tomorrow.

I didn't work on the wedding gift to night...no ambition.  So I think I might tomorrow morning, if not on Saturday.  I bought the gift bag, card and decorative ribbon tonight.  But I might try to see if I can get something else tomorrow...stop at work in the morning, who knows.

Walked to mom and dads to take care of the guinea pigs tonight.  No one called to let me know if they made it to Texas alright, but I'm taking no news is good news.  Hopefully I'll get to see pictures from the rehearsal dinner tonight and really lucky if I see pictures from the wedding tomorrow.

Day 4 and 5

Day 4 wasn't too bad.  Had to close at work.  I had texted hubby asking if I could skip and he said no we needed the money and that I would be getting 3 months off, I reminded him that the 3 months were still 2 months away.  Had to drop something off at the folks and my mom is like I thought you were on vacation, nope the hubby is.  If I was on vacation I wouldn't have stayed in town by myself.  I would have gone with him, or he would have stayed here.  Though he still could have stayed here to work on things around the house.  I got the KSC membership cards from dad to put into the database for him (finished last night, just a few have to be double checked for spelling).  But over all not a bad day.

Day 5-truck day suck day.  hubby said he hoped the day went well.  It wasn't too bad.  Got out at 5 so right on time.  I called him on break at 3 and he said are you out of work already.  Nope calling on break like I said I would but I could hang up if he'd rather.  Last night was not a good night for watching my carbs like I should.  The normal place I order pizza from wasn't taking online orders nor were they answering the phone.  So I went somewhere else, where I know the carb count is higher...didn't stop me.  So besides that I pigged out on other stuff also.  Needless to say a little stressed and depressed.  I'm gonna try and do better day 6.  It's possible hubby might be driving home on Saturday instead of Sunday, because of what his aunt and her companion have going on.  Now if you ask me, he should drive home Friday.  But I still don't think he realizes how down I was in the beginning of the week, I have gotten better I think, but I still have a few moments.

Today is day 6, the plan is to work on my cousin's wedding gift tonight,  so I need to pick up a few things from work, spoons and decorative bags or ribbon.

Day 3

So today, went to work, then found out that my plans for the evening were cancelled because my friend is too busy the rest of the month....A little bummed about that, pizza was in order.  So I'm working on cleaning some more.  I remembered to take out the trash and recyclables, I bought the other set of new curtains for the kitchen, hope the hubby likes them.  The hubby was right, I didn't really get rid of anything in the panty so it was really just reorganizing it, which it needed.  So I'm hoping it is enough room,  but I know I can do a little more condensing.  There's 2 empty drawers in the dresser and one of the rolling carts.  I bought another rolling cart which will have all the drawers free for Blueberry items.  Actually I could move the few sheets for the pack-n-play to the dresser and the crib sheets and bassinet sheets.  2 more weeks and it will be the first shower, and I have no clue where to put everything. 

My exercise today was putting out seasonal, lifting boxes and walking back and forth to the stockroom.  I should get out and do a little walk tonight, but before it gets dark, because I'm on my lonesome.

I think I slept pretty good last night, I was using the hubby's pillow more then mine (it's one way of having him here without him being here...if that makes sense.)

We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Day 2

So today, I worked on straighten the pantry out some more, I don't know if I made any progress or if it's just as bad as it was earlier.  I went for a short walk today to get a newspaper at the gas station around the corner, went and did some shopping to help with the pantry, and have been working on that most of the afternoon.

I ordered pizza for lunch and it seemed weird not having Zeke begging for some of the crust.  It sounds like hubby was going to be helping with things around his aunt's house today.  (wish he was helping around our own house, didn't even do the few things for blueberry's room that he needed to do...guess when he get back). 

I have had 2 people ask me if I was nesting because of my cleaning spurt.  I said it's possible it's partially nesting, but I think it has more to do with us having a small house and trying to figure out how to fit everything into it from the showers.  Like I said I don't know if I really made more room or not....I have some clothes I have to go through and figure out if I still want them or not, if I do, then need to hang them in the closet.  Move the bed sheets from one dresser to the other, and maybe get one more rolling cart stand.

Went and had dinner with mom, dad  and grandma, then watched who dun it.  So at least the evening went well, and was able to text the hubby during the show, he was watching it also.  But now I'm on my own again, just me and the cats, and it's starting to get lonely.  I should see if he plans on calling, or if I should call it a night?

I did okay with sleeping last night, better then I thought I would.  Will see how tonight goes, tomorrow it's off to work and then time with friends.  (can I say I still hope he comes home earlier then he says he will?)

Day 1 done...almost

So my first day of my should have been vacation, I should have been riding shotgun down to MO with my husband, instead I was cleaning the house and going to work.  I was able to take my mind off being alone while cleaning and at work.  Unfortunately, came home to an almost empty house.  It's way to quiet without Hubby and Zeke.  I had more then I should have for my night time snack and I don't really though I should.  I'm not looking forward to trying to sleep tonight, this will probably be the hardest night.  Hubby is suppose to call back again tonight, but if he doesn't do it soon I might have to go to bed before he does.  I wonder what I can accomplish tomorrow on day 2 of "vacation".  I have to finish up the pantry, kinda hard when the store didn't have what I wanted.   So I will have to try a different one.  But my hubby is calling so I'm going.

Got to thinkin'

I was thinking, I'm sure for the most part I wouldn't normally have such a problem with my husband and dog going on vacation without me.  I think it's mostly from the hormones...I'd still be down but I don't think as bad as I seem to.  But he said he'd call around noon before I go to work and tonight we'll talk also.  I think it'll help as talking at night...

...

I wish my husband would notice I'm a little down.  I know this is my walking blog but this will more then likely effect my walking...then again, maybe I won't want to come home to an empty house other then the cats.  It'll be like before I was married...I don't know if I like that feeling having gotten used to having someone else in the house.  Plus Zeke will be with my husband, so I won't even have a happy go lucky dog greeting me at the door.  I thinking I'll be getting a lot of reading done and I'm gonna try and get the pantry organized more,  anything to take my mind off being by myself.  I really do hope that he drives home on Friday, I'd settle for him driving home on Saturday, just so we'd have time together, because if he drives home on Sunday like he plans on I have to work the next week and he still has off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  At least if he drove home Friday we'd have the weekend together, driving home Saturday we'd have Sunday together...I don't think he'll come home early just for me....

Next week continued

So my husband called his aunt to confirm things for next week.  She asked if I was okay with being up here by myself, he said I was....did you really ask me if I was okay?  No.  I'm not okay, I'd rather be going on vacation with him not staying at home having to work, but because of our son being born in September, I have to save up vacation and PPTO time.  If I had my way he'd be staying in town for vacation and not go to MO...we'd go in the fall, all 3 of us.  I'm still not sure what I'm gonna do by myself for a week.  Because the parents are leaving on Wednesday so I will be alone for the week.  Just John and Rachel on Monday.  Though I suppose I should really try and get Juliet's advent calendar for the parents to take with them for her first birthday.

I guess I'm going to go for some long walks by myself and get some of the virtuals under my belt and get caught up.  Maybe get ahead of things even if it means going to the gym and biking the miles (9.3 for 3.1 of walking, or I could do 3.1 biking for walking.)  I'd use the bike I have but I'm not keen on it and should get a new one.  though catching up on the runs would keep me occupied I think....

Next week

So I'm not looking forward to next week, I'm already feeling down about it.  Tomorrow my husband is leaving to visit his aunt for a week.  He's taking the dog with him so it will be just me and the cats.  Now don't get me wrong I should be happy having the house to myself.  But I'm not.  This will be the longest we've been apart since being married almost 5 years ago.  I'm beside myself on what to do to keep busy.  There's only so much I can do before getting tired out from the pregnancy.  Today I'm working on doing the laundry.  I know there's a couple of things I can do when he's gone but would be easier with him here.  Like trying to reorganize the bedroom to fit the bassinet from my grandma (the one she used for my mom and my aunts and uncles)  but it's like a mini crib, not like the bassinets of today.  I could work on rearranging the pantry to be able to fit more in there and actually use it was a pantry, with him taking Zeke with him I'll have a little more room to move in there.
But my main concern is how much sleep am I gonna get?  I wonder if I can convince him to come back on the following Saturday instead of Sunday so we have a full day to spend together when he gets back.  Then that Friday we have the next doctors appointment, another ultrasound to measure length and weight again (they did that at 30 weeks and blueberry weighs about 3 pounds 4 ounces.)

I'm sure all be okay, I will have work to keep me busy and now that he has a cell phone we can talk each night before going to bed.  But it's not the same as being able to lay my head on his chest before falling to sleep or getting the good night kiss....

Doctor visit

So starting this month I go see the doctor every other week and starting at 32 weeks it's every week,  only because I have gestational diabetes.  Also it's looking more and more like he will be a September baby.  If I go into labor naturally, then no inducing.  if not will be induced at 39 weeks.  Then again I think it will depend on  where he is at for growth.  Ben and I are still hoping we can hold out till 41 weeks.  But it will probably not happen...

Also my insulin numbers got increased.  My morning fasting glucose isn't quite where she wants it so N got raised by 4 in the evening to help control that and it got raised in the morning to help with the after lunch numbers as well.  And the Novolog got raised in the morning but not the evening.  So we will see how the numbers go now.
