Ok...so this blog will not have any pictures. It's just a bunch of words. I have been thinking about so many things lately, and I just wanted to pass on some of these thoughts while I still have some computer time left...
1. Why is it so much easier to take things back at Wal-Mart than anywhere else? I recently took some duplicate onesies and a play gym we received (without a receipt for anything), and they took them back no problem. All she needed was my name and number and to know if anything was wrong with the items. SUPER EASY, and I was so appreciative. Just thought Wally World deserved some props for that. I usually don't shop there anymore, but I just may start up again. :)
2. Number one brings me to number two...why don't people include gift receipts with their gifts for you? Especially for a baby? I don't mean to sound rude, but it makes returns or exchanges SO difficult. Places are getting so picky on their return policies, and it's dumb to get stuck with duplicates or things you won't use. Just saying...
3. My last gift-related complaint...for a baby and/or wedding...buy people the things they register for. They obviously want it and will like it if they registered for it. We took the time to do registeries for both, and the baby ones weren't used very much. It's frustrating and a little disappointing that we took so much time to make the registeries and hardly anything was bought off of them. Just saying again...
4. Why does it seem we always want what we can't have? I am in L-O-V-E with carbs, even though I hate to admit it, but damn...they are so good. This gestational diabetes diet has definitely been an eye-opener for me (especially looking at how many carbs everyday things I ate have), but it doesn't make me want carbs any less. I am lucky that I am allowed some I guess, but it's just not the same. I can't wait to have some spaghetti AND garlic bread, chinese food, Bill Miller's (HINT HINT out-of-towners), and BBQ sauce. It's RIDICULOUS how many carbs are in that stuff. Really...look at BBQ sauce labels.
5. Just when you think you have it SO bad...in life...God sends someone else with a problem or issue...much bigger than your own...right towards you to remind you how lucky you really are. This has happened to me a bunch of times recently. When I got diagnosed as GDM I was devastated. It was very upsetting for me. I soon found out that one of my friends here was diagnosed with breast cancer and will require multiple surgeries and some radiation. Just goes to show you (and me) how truly blessed we really are.
6. I have recently become an official organ donor. :) Before I was a nurse, it really creeped me out to think that my organs could be "harvested" after I died to help someone else live. I don't know why it bothered me so much, but I have definitely changed my mind. I have always told Nick I want to be a donor...if God forbid something happens to me...but I had never done anything to let anyone else know like the DMV, the rest of my family, etc. I completed the paperwork a couple weeks ago, and I now have an official donor card in my wallet. Yay me! I hope and pray that I will be TOO old to be a donor when I die, but you never know. Passing on my organs to someone who is slowly dying has got to be one of the most bitter-sweet moments in this world for both families involved. Either way, I won't be needing them so have at 'em.
7. Why, all of a sudden, are our dogs needing to go outside like 4-5 times a night? It's crazy. I know they know something is up...with the baby coming and all...but they are like completely annoying right now. SERIOUSLY. Nick is gonna have a heart attack if they keep this up. I keep reminding him that maybe this is God's way of preparing us for the many sleepless nights ahead of us, but it's not really comforting to Nick. He's usually grouchy and mad most mornings...like today. Dory peed in our room twice during the night last night even though we let her out like 3 times. Any suggestions anyone?
Anywho. That's it for now. I will be hopefully posting some of my maternity pics and Ryker's nursery blogs soon. Until then...
