May 17, 2009 - Week 31

Our baby and its Mom is growing. We made our first big purchase, the baby stroller. Our first riders were Romeo and Rascal. I went to downtown for a long glucose test. You should fast for 12 hours and cannot drink any water. That was the worst part. I felt lightheaded by the time the test was over around 1 pm. At the end of the test I was glad not to see a needle anymore, because they draw my blood 4 times.
On Monday, Paul and I went to celebrate our friend's birthday to the bar. We also had our company "Brew" party at a shelter with plenty of beer and very good barbecue. The weather worked out nicely this week. We went to Clarinda for the weekend. Paul had a practice with his band for the Glenn Miller Festival. It is coming up. Jean found some baby clothes she didn't know about at their attic, so she gave them to me. Paul continued working in the cabin on the bathroom posts for the future bathroom walls and I pruned our fruit trees. Jean and I spent some time cleaning the grass around the trees and we also applied a mulch. I sprayed the trees against a bugs. I was proud that 6 trees (apples, pear, cheery) survived the winter without almost any maintenance. Few trees were eaten by a deer even thou we put fences around them. It was raining a lot, so our pond was nice and full.

Nase ditko a mamka porad roste. My jsme koupili prvni drazsi vec, detsky kocarek. Jako prvni predjezdci byli Romeo a Rascal. Jela jsem do centra mesta do nemocnice na specialni a dlouhy test cukru. Nemas nic jist a pit po dobu 12 hodin..ani vodu. To na tom bylo to nejhorsi. Necitila jsem se zrovna dobre, ale musela jsem to vydrzet od rana do 13 hod. Nakonec jsem se uz nemohla podivat na jehlu, protoze me 4 krat brali krev.
V pondeli jsme sli do baru oslavit kamosciny narozeniny. V tydnu jsme take meli "pivni" party s vybornym barbecue v pristresku parku, kterou poradalo CCC. Pocasi nam opravdu tento tyden pralo. Na vikend jsme jeli do Clarindy. Paul mel zkousku s jeho kapelou na Glenn Miller Festival, ktery se blizi. Jean nasla jeste nejake male veci na jejich pude, o kterych nevedela, tak mi je dala. Paul pokracoval na chate se stavbou drevenych podper pro koupelnove steny a ja strihala nase ovocne stromy. Jean me pomohla vytrhat travu kolem stromku a take jsme kolem nich daly mulc. Postrikala jsem je proti hmyzu. Byla jsem docela pysna, ze nam pres zimu vydrzelo 6 stromu (jablone, hruska a tresen) a to jsme se o ne moc nestarali. Nekolik stromu sezraly srnky, ikdyz jsme je oplotili. Hodne prselo, tak nase jezirko bylo krasne naplnene vodou.
