30W 婆婆来家过圣诞 + 3 hour blood test

没有什么原因，只是觉得她有些厉害，喜欢做决定，而且特别会说话，总是让人不得不听她的。跟她相处，觉得有压力，不好意思对她说不。

今天去商店看婴儿用品，她总是说要买这个买那个，我不喜欢的，她也坚持要买。比如她想给宝宝买一套体育用品图案的 receiving blanket，就是有橄榄球、棒球的蓝色的。我们因为不想知道宝宝性别，我不愿意给宝宝买那么男性的东西，而且也不喜欢体育用品的图案。我说不如买个绿色小动物图案的。她说，我们要自小刺激宝宝的大脑，让宝宝喜欢运动，即使是女孩，也要鼓励打美式足球。我们看了小床，都很贵，我想再多问问，好好考虑考虑，而且觉得买个二手的也好。她说，旧的床可能都不合安全标准。如果不是我老公听我的，她肯定把床买下来了。还说要买个婴儿床，就是头两个月用的。我们说不需要，她坚持说为什么是很重要的。她只有一个宝贝儿子（就是我LG），老是夸口说她怎样教养孩子，刺激儿子的发育，所以儿子如何如何了。我并不觉得她说的对，听多了也烦。可是她是教育系硕士，还是学校老师，当然觉得她自己说的有道理。

我30周了。昨天她来的，要住六天。一见到我，就要摸我的肚子。我只好让她摸。今晚聊天时，我说宝宝刚才动得厉害，现在休息了，她就说，下次宝宝动的时候，一定让她来摸摸。我只好说，OK。真不想让她（任何除了我LG的人，包括我自己的母亲）来摸我肚子。怎么办呢？JM们都让别人来摸你的肚子吗？

本来想，等我父母帮我坐了月子，走后，可以让婆婆来帮忙的。现在很不想长期和她单独相处。她连烧水都不会。

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....
