My mom has graciously offered to paint the nursery. I should have taken a picture even before this stage when you could see the dark maroon walls and the ugliest striped wallpaper this side of the Mississippi. But you can still see thru the primer. This was before the second coat. She came back to do that Monday night and Tuesday night put “Colonial Yellow” on the walls. Then a cute little Classic Winnie the Pooh border.

the pile of goodies so far
The things I’ve been stocking up on little by little have been on sale or I’ve had coupons…or I just thought they were cute. Plus I was afraid a few things were going to go out of stock. I was right about a few of those things.

Today was the dreaded Rhogam shot. PLUS I had to drink the orange drink for my glucola testing (for gestational diabetes). I hate giving blood and last time I had a blood test they took 7 viles. Last appointment I thought was the glucose testing and started getting teary before the doctor/nurse even came in and here it was next time. Sooo I was scared for nothing.
You have to understand. I can take vomit, poop, even blood, grossness like that, but when it comes to blood that is coming out of me by way of a needle or a needle for shots, I am very uncomfortable with that. “It’s just a little pinch…” I hate that phrase. To me, a little pinch hurts like a mother! Before you continue to judge me, maybe this or this will shed some light on my low pain tolerance.
But I was pleasantly surprised, neither hurt as much as I thought, and since I got the Rhogam in the hip, I didn’t even see it. It’s a little sore now, but I’d rather have that than one more case of Sinusitis this year. (I’ve had 5, if you were curious). And the orange drink wasn’t as bad tasting as they said. It was like really sugary Sunkist. Sickening, but do-able.
Now if I can get past the fear of how much giving birth will hurt, I’ll be all set! 87 days to go!!
