schätzli vintage: blog: 28 and 2/3 of the way!

8.07.2010

:-) can you believe it? We're in the third trimester!!

I had my glucose screening this week and just barely failed. :-( Which means ... I have to do a 3 hour screen (on an empty stomach, mind you) and drink more of that nasty stuff. Last screen I could eat breakfast and then drink the glucola. My mantra was, "I'm not going to throw up, I'm not going to throw up," as I took each gulp. And I didn't. But I'm not sure I can not get sick on an empty stomach. BUMMER! But, gotta do it. We'll see how it goes. :-)

2-week labor screening test came back negative! (that means 95% - or more) chance that I won't go into labor in the next two weeks. This is good!!

56 days until I can get up and up.

Jeremy is in Ohio, living in the country, letting Jackson run in the big backyard, seeing family and friends and listening to the frogs/crickets chirp. I'm SO jealous. :-) Wanting to hit all of the garage sales that were this weekend, finding treasures and little girl things. Drinking frosty glassed A&W rootbeer in the old Ford - so old it has no seatbelts. Eating straight from the garden - blackberries and raspberries right off the bush. Mmmm. Not to mention, the big birthday tomorrow.

Happy birthday, love!!! I'm so glad you got to go and can't wait to see you home again. :-)

And Baby, happy number 3.

This Blog

Hello there, friend! My name is Lisa, I'm a wife and a mommy, a daughter and a sister, a friend. I'm silly and sarcastic, contemplative, sensitive and creative.

I love making and appreciating beautiful things, hunting and enjoying else-loved treasures, laughing with friends and eating sweet things. I love the country and think I was probably born in the wrong era. I am a sucker for vintage, dresses and anything European, like tea. Especially tea.

I've also lived in the third world, can't throw a water bottle away (or anything for that matter) without thinking about where it will go and my part in caring for the world.

I started this blog to update supporters on a European volunteer journey I took 10 years ago and it's morphed into stories and DIY with a smattering of vintage and handmade. I write about whatever is me (piano teacher, mommy, sign-maker) for the moment.

Thanks for stopping by. :-)

Lisa, found your blog from Jessica (Hartzler) Stock. (we were roommates in Haiti). I am 37 weeks pregnant and just barely failed my 1st glucose test too! :) take a big water bottle and drink lots of water after you drink that sugar stuff! :) Praying it comes back in the clear and that the rest of your pregnancy will be uneventful!
