Y'know, finding a place to live really sucks when you live in the most expensive renting market in the state of Texas. It's not like we have a choice now, we can't transplant ourselves to a cheaper city like Houston or DFW. His job is here, which means we have insurance, which means we are stuck for the time being. There has been some hope, thanks to our real estate agent, Carol. She assured us that prices have gone up significantly since we moved last, but has managed to find us some decent stuff. I'm about to take off to look at a place in Round Rock and some others not too far from here. Let us keep our fingers crossed.
Last night Vance and I purchased Pan's Labyrinth on DVD which I had been dying to see ever since I saw the first previews for it. I loved it despite the fact that it was insanely depressing, but Vance's reaction wasn't what I expected at all. He thought it was horrible because he felt it was mis advertised to him, which blew my mind. I knew what it was about and all I had to do was read the plot summary. He just got so angry over it and I got upset. Let's say he seemed to take the movie personally and I took his reaction personally. Big fight. No hugs before bed.
Anyway, did I mention in my previous posts that I went to the Dr last Tuesday? Cause I did. Baby is fine, and I am moving right along at 5 1/2 months. My Dr can now use measuring tape to measure the size of my fundus. The bad news? I am drawing close to the 7th month glucose test. Meaning I fast all night and then drink some sugar water, and get my blood drawn. It's to test for Gestational diabetes, which I don't think I have, but it can linger without any symptoms. It's a concern for me and my Dr because it can result in a big, fat baby and I have made it clear that I don't want that. I am worried that I'll puke the drink up before the hour is up. When I say "sugar water" I don't mean soda...I mean 2 parts sugar 1/2 part water. And it tastes like orange-y ass. I'm not worried about getting my blood drawn even though the ladies at this office are kind of rough with that. Oh well, I have like 5 weeks before I have to worry about that.
Anyway, I must be off to look at potential places to live. Until next time...
