30W 婆婆來家過聖誕 + 3 hour blood test

沒有什麽原因，隻是覺得她有些厲害，喜歡做決定，而且特別會說話，總是讓人不得不聽她的。跟她相處，覺得有壓力，不好意思對她說不。

今天去商店看嬰兒用品，她總是說要買這個買那個，我不喜歡的，她也堅持要買。比如她想給寶寶買一套體育用品圖案的 receiving blanket，就是有橄欖球、棒球的藍色的。我們因為不想知道寶寶性別，我不願意給寶寶買那麽男性的東西，而且也不喜歡體育用品的圖案。我說不如買個綠色小動物圖案的。她說，我們要自小刺激寶寶的大腦，讓寶寶喜歡運動，即使是女孩，也要鼓勵打美式足球。我們看了小床，都很貴，我想再多問問，好好考慮考慮，而且覺得買個二手的也好。她說，舊的床可能都不合安全標準。如果不是我老公聽我的，她肯定把床買下來了。還說要買個嬰兒床，就是頭兩個月用的。我們說不需要，她堅持說為什麽是很重要的。她隻有一個寶貝兒子（就是我LG），老是誇口說她怎樣教養孩子，刺激兒子的發育，所以兒子如何如何了。我並不覺得她說的對，聽多了也煩。可是她是教育係碩士，還是學校老師，當然覺得她自己說的有道理。

我30周了。昨天她來的，要住六天。一見到我，就要摸我的肚子。我隻好讓她摸。今晚聊天時，我說寶寶剛才動得厲害，現在休息了，她就說，下次寶寶動的時候，一定讓她來摸摸。我隻好說，OK。真不想讓她（任何除了我LG的人，包括我自己的母親）來摸我肚子。怎麽辦呢？JM們都讓別人來摸你的肚子嗎？

本來想，等我父母幫我坐了月子，走後，可以讓婆婆來幫忙的。現在很不想長期和她單獨相處。她連燒水都不會。

Last week when I went in for my monthly check-up, my doctor told me that I failed my sugar screening test. My number was high (164 as opposed to 140, or something like that). So I had to do a 3-hour sugar test. Last time the 1-hour test made me feel sick, mainly headache. This time I was really worried about taking the test again.Tuesday morning I woke up at 1 PM and decided to get over with the test. Since I didn't eat anything since the evening before, I had been "fasting" for at least 16 hours. I got to the test location at 2 PM, got my blood drawn, and drank the sugar drink. I sat there for 3 hours, and got my blood drawn four times total. I was glad to have a book to read, and the time past relatively quickly. Before I got home, I ate a sandwich, a banana, and an energy bar. I drank a lot of water so I wouldn't get a headache.Yesterday evening I got a message from my doctor saying that the result of the test was fine. He told me that I should watch my carb intake, and eat more small meals each day.Today we took the in-laws to a hike down the coast. I had some cereal for breakfast. After the hike, it was 2 pm and I was really hungry. The in-laws wanted to try In-n-Out Burgers, and the only place we knew were at least half an hour away. And we had to take them to see some sights before we headed to the Burger place. By the time I got my burger, it was 3:40. I was starving. Then they told me this was their dinner, and if I got hungry later, I could get an ice cream. We went to a movie in the evening, and ate a large popcorn at the theater. I felt really bad about my diet. I wish they could be more understanding. At night, I wanted to hard boil some eggs to get some protein. My in-law said she would fry the eggs for me. She didn't even know how to turn on the stove this morning! And she told me the only thing she cooked for her son (my husband) was peanut butter jelly sandwich. That was cooking??? No wonder every time I heat up a TV dinner, my husband always thanked me for "cooking" a dinner. Anyway, I told her I don't want my eggs fried, because it's too fatty, and I've had enough fatty food today. She didn't know that fried eggs could be fatty. And no wonder my husband likes to eat burgers and steaks all the time, and when he wanted to cook scrambled eggs, he would pour half a bottle of oil in the pan.She saw the baby ultrasound picture at 18 weeks and claimed it was a beautiful baby. That was 3 months ago! I wish she had more children, so our baby would not be her only grandchild....OK, enough complains. It's Christmas time and it's supposed to be fun for family, right?Baby is moving a lot these days, and it's always fun to feel the baby move. Wednesday at the mall, when we were in a music store and heard some rap music, the baby started to move. I hope the baby doesn't only like rap music? The baby also moves when we watch intense movies. Perhaps the baby could feel my emotions. This morning the baby had hiccups and when I imagined the look of the baby, I couldn't help smiling.A few days ago, Mike tried to communicate with the baby, and help the baby learn to form and test hypothesis. :) Whenever the baby moved, he would squeeze my belly and respond to the baby. He said soon, the baby would realize that his own movement would cause a squeeze of the belly, and that would stimulate his brain. That was very cute of Mike.We got babies'r'us registry list and would go over them soon, to see what we need to get for the baby. I only have a few more days before school starts and I become busy again. Still need to sign up for classes, hospital, and take care insurance and bills....
