+ New Year +
So, today is the last day of 2002. Tomorrow will be the first day of 2003, the year when you will be born! The attendant at the gas station asked me when I was due, and if I was due right now. Um, no. How big do I look?! I hardly had time to be offended, when he explained that his sister had her baby on midnight 12/30 two years ago and the whole family had hoped she'd make it to New Year's Eve. Ooooh-kay.

Anyway, tonight we are having friends over, and I just hope we can make it that late. Do me a favor and don't suck ALL of my energy, just this once, okay? At least we have tomorrow off and I can sleep in. Then we'll get up and take the Christmas decorations down. I want them GONE so I can get the boxes out of your room. Maybe in there somewhere we'll take a bath with the bath spa mat your Grandma Sheryl gave us for Christmas. Mmmmm, that sounds good.

I made the appointment for the 3-hour glucose tolerance test for Monday morning. I'm taking a vacation day to do it so I don't have to worry about feeling ooogey and coming back to work. I've been afraid to say anything about it because I feel like something's wrong with me, but when I let it slip (either on here, where I let everything slip, or to my asst. manager when I asked for the vacation day), I find people have such wonderful advice. It really comforts me to see lots of "normal" mommies who had to go sit for this test and they have beautiful, normal, healthy children. So I'm trying to be more optimistic about it. At least I will get a lot of reading done.
