Don't take things for granted

We often heard this sentence and most of time we could careless. That until something got taken away. Simple thing like when you get cold and your nose plugged then you would like this is suck. You started to think you never think twice about breathing because it just natural...

I too take things for granted... My biggest thing is eating. I never have any problem to eat anything and everything, anytime and however I want it. When I said anything and everything I meant anything and everything. Chocolate cookies, soda, a lot of noodles, fattening food whatever I feel like eating I'll eat it anytime of the day. I'm also always small too meaning I never really worried on gain weight not by much anyway (despite my everything goes food I still kind of underweight maybe because I don't eat in quantity). Though now I'm getting older and 2 kids later (3 soon) I'm bound to gain weight. Actually mostly I gained weight when I'm pregnant.

Now, what's going on??? As I mentioned before about my glucose test I failed miserably. I'm shocked of course I NEVER has problem and less than a year ago before I got pregnant my glucose test low too so is cholesterol. Then come the 3 hrs test now I thought of 50-50 on passing it I heard most people past and the 1 hr not too accurate. NOT failed again 2 of the result abnormal. I got more depressed. My dr tried to said it's common yada yada, it's because of the plasenta yada yada... but really nothing he said or anyone said made me feel any better not one bit. I couldn't figure out why it happens. Am I really eat that bad? I guess I'm sort of did. I take for granted with my other two and the fact I never has problem and thinking that would never happen to me. You know what happens when you started to think that would never happens to you, it usually did. Just the way life is. I'm getting old so maybe that a factor, I've never pay attention what I ate so that's also a factor. Basically all the bad star lined up and it troubled me.

What now? My Ob/Gyn, set me with earlier delivery and sent me to the Endocrinology and metabolism dr. She going to help me with diet. Since my abnormal reading still not that bad they confident with only diet I can control the sugar problem. Yesterday is my first appointment with the dr. TORTUROUS one! It last 2 freaking hours blah... In the really hot and stuffy office. She's a nice old lady though but still gosh... Just the experience made me think to work so hard so I don't have to come back to the office! She gave me book with guide on serving portion of common fruit, veggie, starch etc with their carbs number. She also made me write down whatever I ate for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. I have to check my sugar after each meal (not snack) and just before bed and right after I wake up. She gave me list of food to avoid for now which is the hardest part because it said no white but brown is ok ironic huh I can only eat the one with my skin color! Meaning no white rice, no pasta, no bread, no sweet. I'm like what? what would I eat now? Rice is like things for us Asian! So is noodle not really the pasta but still noodle. I can however eat brown rice, wheat bread etc like I said brown like me.... Then I have to pay attention this little thing called nutrition fact on every stuff I bought. Like yoghurt she told me it contains a lot of sugar that I can't afford to have it when I'm pregnant I'm limited to 4 g for now. I'm freaking spent 10 minutes today at the groceries looking for the low one! I did find one pfffufff because I want it for my snack at work. So is with granola bar keep flipping those boxes dear! Blah blah blah... Hopefully this 2 new stuff taste good! I never bought this brand before. One is famous one though so I suppose it would be taste good the other one I never hear it much.

At the end of the day I'm still pissed, miserable and pitty of myself right now and probably for a while but I would not taking eating for granted anymore. I would pay more attention on nutrition fact even after everything ok. After the baby born because eventually it will be good for me on the long run. After all my mom has diabetic problem so it's run on the family and this is a big wake up call for me...

Week 2 of my hubby journey

Week 2 almost done, this is the stage for puree food. Seriously like a baby stage, first liquid second is puree then soft food. Only he only doing it one week for each.

We decided to invest on Ninja food processor because we knew the blender we have won't work good. It just some cheap blender we bought one time because we don't really need nor use it much. So far so good, we really impressed with the ninja. He love it even more. Though he occasionally tried to eat soft without puree it. I tasted all the puree we made and surprisingly is not all that bad. Yeah I like to eat 'real' one but the puree is tolerable. So far my husband lost 20lbs, with 7 from before the surgery. It's huge for him. Oww I noticed that he's not snored as much and as loud anymore. He eat healthier too...

Me & them

There are times that I just like to say stupid things to people that say stupid things first...

Them: wooow you're getting big and slow now

Me: yes, I know... now I know how some people feels (they're happen to be in the big side)

Me: the vault never entered the return but I got it out I'll hand over to Engineer for review.

Them: great it's only been 3 weeks

Me: you're welcome to bitch, whine and moan to the vault. good luck! (a lot of stuff in backlog due to the new system, they never told me the return should be arrived and the one who handle the return at the moment the director of inventory himself)

Them: smart ass

Me: yes I'm so smart even my ass is smart

Them: the customer just like to complaint for little thing

Me: yeah I know after all they paid a lot of money for this stuff (seriously? see if they the one received the product that is not good)

Them: how old are you? you look like fifteens, twentyish

Me: well how old are you? must be about my parents age or older (obviously to work there I have to be at least 18 and since I have 2 kids age 7 & 5 and have degree I should be closed to 30 which I actually 32)

There are other things I can't think right now....

Glucose test

So the ob gyn office called me, said that I failed the glucose test! It gave me a high blood pressure in an instant and almost get me a heart attack. I was like WHAT??? That's never happen to me. I guess I've been bad I had some m&m at my work, I drink sweet soda, timbits and cookies o yeah that Saturday for my bday I had 7 layers choco cake, WHICH I SHARED with hubby and kids. It's only 1 slice too! Is it really add that much? When you are pregnant supposedly your hormone is out of whack anyway. So I guess it does, everything you ate and drink you have to really consider it. Maybe I've been lucky with the other 2. It doesn't stop me to still throw temper tantrum though. My hubby tried to console me, don't really work at the moment I still having pity party.

What next? Well I have to make another appointment for another glucose thing. It's called 3 hrs test or GPT something like that. When I asked the dr office what it is and she said well call the lab and they tell you what you need to do I was like... bitch! why can't you just tell me aarrgghhh. Of course the lab already closed so I have to make appt tomorrow. I have to arrange time from my work, which suck! I mean I'm glad with my job I can be flexible but I just have too much little stuff I need to get done before out for maternity. It also help that your boss used to be your friend errr ok we still friend but she's the boss now.

Now I probably can't sleep thinking about the darn test...

Well excuse me I'm going to pout some more somewhere in the corner....

Maybe I feel much better later on and write something fun...

The beginning

Hubby is home from hospital. The strict food regime begun...

This week is all about liquid! Sample of the 'food': V8 juice, diet tea, cream mushroom, cream chicken, whey protein, apple juice, chicken broth. Each only 4 oz per hour and he has to drink it little by little on that 1 hr. He also need to take some vitamin. I guess it's kind of easy on me to prepare it. I mean I don't have to cook or anything. I'll see other different kind of liquid so he won't get bored.

I hope this will work out.... he seems determine to make it work.

Monday mornin'

It's a long Monday. Today is my hubby bariartic surgery or well known as lap band surgery. The day start at 6:30 when we arrived at the hospital and from then on mostly WAITING especially for ME.

I used some of the time to do my glucose testing that's another rant. It's a common test for pregnant women. The only thing is you have to drink this super gross super sweet taste like flat soda drink. You have to drink it on 5 minutes then wait an hour before they draw your blood. Hopefully the test come back good.

Back to hubby, the operation took place at around 9:30. The operation it self don't take that long an hour at max then go to recovery. Now it should be only 1 hr there NOT because they don't have transporter! Transporter is a person that work is pushing the patient to the room. They were super busy and lack of transporter. So 3 hrs later... I'm tired, hungry and cranky. I rather work and made tons of report! Between hospital and getting stuff for his 'meal' I don't get home till 9PM.

All of this just the beginning...

Seriously?

So I went to movie 2 times today. My friend decided to take me for lunch and movie for my birthday yesterday. So we watched the expendables which is good for an action no wonder it become no. 1 hit. Then I went home and went out again this time w/ my hubby and his friend for Resident Evil on 3D. I've been waiting impatiently for it. Again good movie good time. So what's my blog title about? Well they charge me kid ticket! I'm saving $2 (ok my hubby did) but c'mon I'm 32 and pregnant... But I guess since I wore my sister clothes size L it did not showed that I'm pregnant! Plus since my hubby and friend is a big guy I guess I got overshadowed. Sigh... I'll be happy when I'm 50 and they think I'm only on the 20ish or 30ish! Owww yeah this is the 2nd time they mistaken, 5 yrs ago also pregnant for Harry Potter movie also paid for kid's price and got the lego for making bus.

Another attempt

I should really try harder to write stuff but I'm such a lazy and procrastinator. Every time I saw someone else's then I was like I'm going to do it.... did I nope... Well let's see this time.
