Before we get into my news... Sherry and Nick just brought home sweet Nathan on Monday. You can check out their beautiful family here. When we started our adoption over two years ago, I never thought we would meet so many amazing people. It has been a very unexpected and rewarding part of the whole journey. I feel even more lucky to have the Thornton's just around the corner and I will be so thrilled to meet Nathan soon!
My beautiful girls, dear husband, and goofy dogs left Saturday morning to have a week of sun & fun in Florida with Doug's family. I miss them like crazy. I am so bored with reading, playing on the computer, and watching TV; I don't really seem to have the energy to do much else. I am on strict doctor's order for no travel until a few months after the baby is born, so it was just not possible for me to go with them. Before they left, I actually thought that I would enjoy the break. I don't. This sucks.
Meron actually asked if she could stay home with me when she found out that I was not going. I felt so bad having to explain to her that it wasn't possible because I had to work part of the week. She was pretty upset about it, but when I asked her about it yesterday on the phone she said she was very happy she was in Florida. Then she asked if we could move there.
Meron's behavior has improved dramatically since we delayed the move to her new room. I am slowly working to get it ready for her this week, so that she can move right in when they get home this weekend. I am so proud of her for deciding to work on her behavior. It really has been a conscious decision on her part and she is really trying.
In baby news, I picked up the pre-filled Lovenox syringes Monday after work and have been giving myself the injections twice a day since then. It's not as bad as I thought. The needle is pretty tiny, but the liquid burns like fire when it goes in. I think I will get accustomed to it soon. I have not yet gotten the results from my glucose test on Friday, but I do expect bad news.

Hmmm... ok, so you're sick of computer games, but have you picked up Sims 3 yet? I just rec'd it as a late b'day gift, and stayed up waaaay too late last night exploring it. So far, so good, but I've yet to give birth to any alien babies. :)
I saw the Sims 3 in the store today and cracked up because I thought of you. Haha.
I'm glad Meron's behavior has improved. Amado's too. And, I'm so glad that you talk about it being a conscious effort because I've noticed that about our son. He'll ask questions about certain behaviors-if they're good or not. Makes me proud of him.
I'm sorry you can't travel and I'm MORE sorry you're not enjoying the break. I'll trade you. Hell, I'll even go to work for part of the week. Haha.
Sorry your shots burn. I hope they do start to feel less like fire...that CAN'T be good.
I'm sorry you're stuck home and not feeling fabulous. I love checking in and getting updates though, thanks for keeping us in the loop. Great news about Meron too. You're such a good mom.
Okay, I'm so behind in the news world. Congrats! The big sisters must be pretty excited. Are they hoping for a brother or sister?
how are you doing? thinking of you :)
