Day 6

Last week we had a doctors appointment.  I asked our doc about biting as Gwyn had bitten me a few times and I wasn't to happy about it.  She taught me the pull in close technique. Buying pulling her in close when she bites she will naturally release and open her mouth causing discomfort and thus no more biting all the while saying "NO BITING" in a soft but firm tone.  We tried it twice and that was enough...she got it! I was impressed...little did I know what Gwyn had in store.  Since last week Thursday she has REFUSED to nurse! No joke! Pushing me away, rolling away, throwing herself backwards, screaming.  I've tried waiting it out but my heart can only take so much before I succumb and give her her bottle.  I don't know what to do? Tonight we took a shower and lounged around skin to skin for about a half hour reading books and playing...Amy, if you're reading this I was in my bedroom! Haha!...she vaguely attempted to nurse but I think we were both scared of each other that she turned the other way and went back to playing...Is this it?? Are we done? I thought that it would be much more difficult for her...obviously I'm the one who can't handle it.  I'm used to calling the shots! I had these glorious plans of slowly weaning her after she was 1 and spending afternoons pic-nic in daffodil fields lounging around in the sun...:) Instead I think that's it...on a rather rough note I might say :( Depressing!

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...
