Update Baby and Weather!

Life has been absolutely crazy these last few weeks and I started thinking that my blog was turning into a photo album...The only thing I've had for is to load a photo or two to keep you happy :) So here's a ramp up of what's been happening...the last few weekends have been filled with AMFAM events from Torchlight to SeaFair and this month is going to be no exception! This last week was probably the hottest I think I've ever been...97+ degrees and humid as humid can get! On Wednesday I stayed at the office until 10:30pm becuase I didn't want to go home...I contemplated staying the night at the office but reluctently drove home. On Thursday I spent about two hours out in the heat and I swelled up like a popcorn shrimp!! My face, hands, feet, legs all were tight and puffy!! It was aweful!! I was really scared when I went to bed and thought that if I woke up in the morning and I was still like this I was going to call the midwives...Part way through my 15 potty trips that night I realized that I was peeing out all the puffiness and sure enough I woke up back to normal!

Baby's been growing and keeping me engaged :) About three weeks ago I noticed this strange popping/cracking noise coming from my tummy. I could hear it on the outside...I googled and found there are a few other women out there who have/are experiencing the same thing as me..I sounds exaclty like when you take your shoes off and stretch your feet out..That toe cracking noise, but coming from my tummy! I met with my midwife on Friday and explained to her what I've been hearing...she said she has no explination of the noises and years ago they had a women who claimed to hear the same thing...At this point it doesn't seem like anything to worry about and I'll just pretend my little girl is communicating to me in "dolphin!" Even today I heard it twice...one time infront of a client and I wanted badly to say, "did you hear that!" but I held it in..So far no one else has heard it...humph!

This month is going to be event filled!! I'm the hole sponsor for two golf tournaments, have a booth with another agent at the Fair, mom's 61st birthday, a trip to Wild Waves with the fam...and it's only the 3rd!

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...
