It's a GIRL!!!

We woke up bright and early this morning to head out for your ultrasound appointment. My midwife told me to get there super early so we arrived at 7:15 for our 8:15 appointment. You should have seen the shock on the receptionists face when we walked in the door...she had just poured herself a cup of coffee and wasn't too impressed that we were there to greet here. We waited patiently until our name was called and then we got to sit and watch our baby for close to 45 minutes. It was the most captivating thing I think I've ever seen! We got to see her heart, lungs, legs, arms, braing, bunns, goods, face, and spine :) At one point the tech slowed down so we could just watch her and it was amazing!! They even made a little movie for us which I'm having a very hard time figuring out how to post :( In all we are two very proud parents who can't wait to meet this little one!! I couldn't stop staring at her pictures all day today...I'd work a little then whip out her picture...then snap myself out of it...and work a little...then out her picture comes again. I can only imagine what this is going to be like when she's finally here.


Names: Nate and I have been thinking of names but we don't have anything picked out. We've been going back and forth on a few names and I think when we get the right one we'll know but for now we're happy :)
20 weeks 1 Day...she spent most of her time sucking her tumbs...quite endearing :) I don't know about you but those look like Lindeman feet to me...second toe is larger than the first!

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...
