Hopefully Molly will have a crib...

I am beginning to think that our child will have nowhere to sleep, except for her pack n' play that her wonderful daddy picked out. On to the crib saga...

In the last post, I explained what was going on with the crib. Well, let me start the latest installment of the crib fiasco earlier this week. Monday, I had to go to the funeral home for a colleague's mother. Tim rode with me and then we went a grabbed a bite to eat for dinner. When we got home about 6:45-7 Monday evening, we had a notice from UPS that they had attempted delivery of the package. It was marked that delivery would be attempted the next day, Tuesday. Well, Tim did what he had to do during the day and made sure he was home that afternoon to wait on the package (UPS usually comes after 5 at our house). We waited, and waited, and waited- no package. Did I mention that I had TONS of things to do that afternoon, but instead Tim and I were at home waiting on a package that never came? We also had no notice saying he had missed it earlier in the day. Well, about 8pm that night, we decided that we would just have them hold it at the UPS facility near our house and we would pick it up the next afternoon after I got off work. Wednesday afternoon we went to get it and the box was damaged beyond belief. Their were holes the size of my fist all over, the packing straps were cutting way into the box, and the only thing holding the seams and corners semi-together was some very dirty and worn packing tape. I could not trust a crib that had been treated like that during shipping, so we refused the package so we would not be responsible for shipping it back. Bummed and extremely annoyed at this point, we headed home and Tim called Babies R' Us. He explained to them the ENTIRE story and they are shipping us a new crib, free of charge, and giving us 20% off. If something happens this time, I am going to just give up! Once again, Tim took care of it all because I was just too mad. I don't know what I would do without him!

On to better things... I had a checkup Thursday with my ob/gyn. Everything was good with me and Molly. Her heart rate was in the 150's and we think she is laying sideways. This is new since at my u/s the other week she was breech. She is definitely headed in the right direction. I hope that by my u/s on the 24th she is completely turned because the bigger she gets, the harder it will be for her to turn. I also had my glucose test that morning. I should hear back from it Monday. Hopefully it will come back fine. I really don't want to do the 3 hour, much less have to deal with gestational diabetes. If I do, it won't be the end of the world, but it is just not ideal. Also, I have our first baby shower Monday at work! I am so excited about it! Tim, Mom, Kialyn, and Grandma Nancy are all coming- along with some former colleagues and my current ones. It should be so much fun!!!
