Our Secret

Yikes! It's been way to long since my last post...I have so much to talk about and with a lot of it timing is everything!! I've been keeping a BIG secret and if any of you know me I don't do it well...

Well let's see...The last time I was on I figured out how to blog from my blackberry...obviously it's super user friendly and easy to use...LOL...it took me forever to figure it out and once I did my fingers tips were exhausted from tapping. It's funny looking back because my post was really about nothing and inside my secret stayed....That day I went to the doctor and took a test and as most of you know by know Nate and I are going to have a BABY!! We're super excited for what the Lord has in store for us! As scary and nervous as we both are the planning has already started...As soon as I found out I told Nate and he had to give up his office for the new baby room. With the help of my sisters, brother, and niece the room is clean and the walls/trim are all primered...

At what we thought was our 11 week check up we had an ultrasound and got to hear the baby's heartbeat. That's when the doctor informed that we were actually only 8 weeks along and our new due date was October 22nd. I was pretty upset as I had purposefully waited until then to tell our families. Plus it was kinda fun for Nate and I to have our secret to ourselves :) So as of this past Thursday I'm "officially" 11 weeks...I don't think we'll ever really have a grip on when we're due and this baby will come when he/she wants! It was after this initial appointment that I decided that I'd give the Birth center a vi for my "birth business." :) I met with two of the midwifes and I loved it! So that's where we're gonna do it! Like how I always use "we" and "us" I'm NOT doing this alone and Nate is sooo excited...even more than me I think :) Something else that's fun is that this is the same place that I was born...many many years ago...http://bellinghambirthcenter.com/...It was a birthing center for about 4 years then turned into a title company/offices/vacant and in 2004 a group of women decided to open it into a birthing center (the had little knowledge of it's past).

So it's 9pm and wayyy past my bed time...I've been getting 10+ hours of sleep a night...not to mention my forced lunch naps! I'll log on again soon and give you a more concise update :)

Blissfully Happy,

Nate and Nancy

20th Anniversary

Crazy to think it's been 20 years since we said our vows on that stormy rainy day in March.  This year we had plans to get a hotel in Lynnwood and galavant around Seattle for a few days. We ended up going to Herb Niemans on our anniversary, then to Boundary Bay for lunch the next day and we finished our anniversary weekend kidless in lynden. Amy & Bri ended up coming up and spending two days with mom. Saturday we left for the dahlia tuber sale then to El Suentio Brewery for lunch, a brisk walk in the cold wind out at birch bay and then a drink @ The Mill and dinner at Nami sushi. Our anniversary was filled with love and togetherness. We are so spoiled. 

Gestational diabetes

Two weeks ago I took the one hour glucose test and failed it so I had to go due the dreaded 3 hour fasting glucose test.  It's horribly awful. You drink 100 milligrams of sugar on a fasting stomach and then get poked times to test you blood glucose levels.  Since I was positive for GD with Gwyn I went straight to the 3 hour test with Gabby and passed!  I was feeling pretty confident that I'd pass this time and I DID hallelujah!  All my numbers came back within range. I'm still keeping a close eye on my carb/sugar intake as I know how that can pack on the pounds for both baby and me.  So far I'm up 8 pounds. I was hoping to only gain ten thus whole pregnancy and that's still my goal.  I was 10 lbs heavier than I was when I got pregnant with Gabby and I gained 20 lbs with her so I figure that it's only appropriate that I keep my total gain to ten.  MUST KEEP COUNTING CALORIES. Ugh.  I don't find it easy like other women to loose wait after baby. If ...

Down time

All my life I've kept busy. I'm a busy person. I feel more at peace when I'm busy. The one downside to the consitency that is busyness is that often random thoughts will enter my mind about projects, bills, fundraisers, events, aka..other things I could be doing with my time. As quickly as I think of the ideas its on it's way to lala land....I started keeping a journal when I was in college so that whenever one of those ideas would enter my mind I could capture it. My "to do" journal is full of these fun ideas. Right now in my life I have a whole lot of free time that I don't know what to do with and where or where could my journal be...??? I can't find it. I feel lost without it. I have all this time now and I don't know what to do with myself. Before I know it I will be so busy with the agency I wont even have time to write. So I sit here (keeping myself busy) hoping that some of those glorious thoughts will enter my mind. Once I re...
