She is getting the care she needs. They are pretty good at that stuff. Diabetes is very scary at times. Much ~ma for a full recovery.

Parenthood whine. It is sooooo much easier to do things yourself than getting lazy ass kids to help. Brought to you by Ms. Statestheobvious.

~ma, sj.

Sending recovery~ma C's way, sj

Thanks, everyone. I had an ultrasound today, which went well except we have a very stubborn little girl who doesn't stay still, making the tech's job harder. Then I stopped by my OB's office because my own bloodsugar was low today. Readjusting meds again, this time downward. Two weeks until baby day!

C is still holding on tonight. No real update other than that.

I think I am going to have to rewash all the baby clothes I inherited from my cousin's baby. Mom already washed them once, but I just finished reorganizing them and I'm itchy and my lungs are tight. Whatever she washed them with the first time was nasty.

How bad are cotton things likely to shrink if I wash them in warm water?

It's baby stuff: it's only gonna fit for a short time anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much. If it's gonna shrink that it wouldn't fit a day old, it was only going to be useful a few days anyway.

Thanks, sarameg. I was thinking similarly, and I think I have a better chance of getting the smell out if I wash in warm water.

sj, I'm sure that you have everything well in hand, but I can't help but say if you need anything, I am happy to get in the car and do whatever you need. In fact, if I find out that you needed help and didn't call me, I will be very upset ;) Looking forward to meeting ltc! (when you're ready, don't have guests before you feel like it)

Thanks, Vortex. The house is almost at the level where I wouldn't be mortified to have people see it. My in-laws are probably going to still bitch about all the books when they're here this weekend. We'd love to have you over, and I feel horrible I haven't made it happen yet.
