Good news

I don't have gestational diabetes! I did the 2-hour blood draw on Tuesday, where they checked my fasting glucose levels, my 1-hour, and my 2-hour levels. My fasting level was slightly elevated, at 5.4 (5.3 is the cut-off) but the other ones weren't even close, and I guess the levels need to be elevated for at least 2 of the 3 blood draws to be considered gestationally diabetic. Phew!

In other news, I went out yesterday Elijah-free, and I had an awesome time with Tiffany and Julia. We got pedicures, had dinner, and then went to Tiffany's for a swim. I came home by 11, thoroughly exhausted and marveling at the fact that 11pm is a late night for me. I missed Elijah and Matt so much though! Especially because Julia had her little baby Megan with her, and couldn't help but marvel at how wonderful her baby was, and I wished so much to see Elijah so I could hug him and kiss him and tell him how wonderful HE is, and that he's actually the cutest baby ever. Except he's getting bigger, and is a little boy now, and soon he'll have a little sister, and I might have to modify that statement to be the cutest little BOY ever.

It's been so disgustingly hot this week, and the apartment was been warm and sweat-inducing, so I've been getting out of the house pretty much every day, even if only for an hour or two. This morning, though, I just couldn't come up with anything to do. Except maybe grocery shopping, which so does not count.

Now I am so incredibly sleepy that I'm having trouble putting 2 coherent and cohesive thoughts together and it's not even Elijah's naptime. And when it IS his naptime, I'll have to close the door to his room, it'll get warm out here, and I won't be able to sleep. SAD!

And just because I was curious, here are the conversions from celsius to fahrenheit for what the temperature has been and felt like lately:

Today - 31 C = 87.8 F, with humidex 36 C = 96.8 F
Yesterday - 36 C = 96.8 F (at least...) with humidex 45 C = 113 F

Insane. And it's not dry, like the desert. You feel Ever. Single.  Degree. Luckily for me, I swam twice yesterday.

And now I must make lunch for the E-Man. Soooo sleepy...
