A Wandering WeyrCat...

Feb 02 Our plans to go to a reptile petting zoo at my school was thwarted by this sinus draining illness that we all seem to have, Including Hobbit. He woke up coughing to the point where we were afraid he was going to throw up. Later in the day he did throw up, so good prediction there. Instead we stayed home and tried to keep the snot from painting the entire house. His school sent home these monthly art projects to do for their bulletin board and this month's is a heart for Valentine's Day. So we use glitter paint and decorated that. I think it came out really nice. We kept our game night date and playing both Dominion and Art of Science. The ladder didn't end until 2 a.m., which wrecked us both for the next day. Luckily or unluckily, the toddler was feeling better.

1/11 The weather has been inconsistent and a lovely 65*F meant a much needed trip to The park. Hobbit rode his bike and we took Rook. While Rook was a Star (for every child under five) Hobbit did TWO new things at the park: climbed UP the slide, and climbed up the scary arch. (He did need a final hand up at the top, but he's never attempted it before!) 1/25 Glucose Tolerance Test... After failing my one-hour test (155/135) I needed a three-hour test to determine if I have developed gestational diabetes. I fasted for the required 12 hours, and drank the 100g medicinally-orange sugar water they gave me. I'd sit in the office for three hours, giving a blood sample every hour. I was warned not to sleep, exercise, drink water, or throw up. I thought the warning about throwing up was a bit unnecessary, but 30 minutes later it turned out to be a bit of a struggle.
