Sooo...I got busy...just shoot me!

Ok, so it has been a long time since I blogged...and I def had stuff going on to blog about, but I have been busy!  I have a ton of pics to post, but today is not the day for that...I will get that done when I can. 

I think the last time I posted was about my 2nd doctor's appointment and the gestational diabetes test I took, which I failed.  Nothing new there.  I was told to monitor my blood sugar for the weekend and take it back Monday...which I did...and the lady quickly looked at my numbers and then told me to do it again for a week and bring it back today before my appointment...no problem.  I checked my numbers all week long- had mostly good days- a few days where my numbers were a little higher than they should be (but when I showed the lady on the Monday after the weekend test, she said it was fine as long as they were not too high...)...the lady I saw today wasn't as nice about it.  Oh well, what can you do.  She also told me I did not need to be testing before I ate (which is not what the other lady told me to do...so I will continue to poke myself 6 times a day). 

I went yesterday (Monday) to take my drivers license test...that was an epic fail.  I was under the impression that as long as I paid attention to the class, I would be fine.  I was under the wrong impression.  I, however, did not have the same instructor that Mark had, nor did he go over hardly anything.  Mark's guy showed them videos and stuff...mine went over road signs and right aways...which was maybe 25 questions on the 100 question test (which, when you consider this, I did pretty well to only miss 23 out of 100...lol)  I did get an updated study guide and will take the test again next week.  It really wasn't a hard test, there were just things on there that I had no idea about- he never mentioned a Good Samaritan Law (and there were 2 questions on my test about that!).  Here is what is tricky-

1. Their right away rules are so strange...since there are no 4 way stops here (that's right folks), if you come to a 4 way intersection with no signs, the person on the right goes first...so in the event there are 3 people stopped, you go clockwise from the person with no one on their right.  If all 4 people are there, you must be curtious. 
2. At intersections with "priority" road signs (in Germany you have priority roads...and others must yield to you), you follow FLY (the person Following the priority road goes, then the person Leaving the priority road, then the person/people who must Yield to the priority road.).  It can get pretty tricky I guess.
3. Pedestrians and bikes nearly always have the right away, as long as they are at a crossing area (and they give themselves the right away when they just want to walk across the street randomly...it is still illegal to run over them...lol)
4. There are like 1001093938493 road signs...and most of them are VERY self explanitory (follow the pictures...), but then they throw in those German words, of which I speak none of, and that can be a pain.  I can recognize the ones we went over- gravel, when wet, and road damage.

I am sure that now I have a study guide, I will do better next time. 

I went back to the doctor today...what a mess that is too. lol.  Roy is still measuring big- and will be here in about 2 weeks.  She wants to schedule a C-section, so I guess I will be doing that next week when I go on Friday. 

I will post pictures and write more soon...The apartment is pretty much put together, just a few things out of place still, so I can get pics of all of that to share, as well as post the pics of all the randomness that I have taken so far (not too many, but enough to have some pics).
