Happy Halloween!

This year Gwyn decided to be a kitty cat! She wore her halloween kitty jammies with a skit and mask..so cute. Currently she's in the living room watching TV and eating dinner?? She ate three pieces of candy and then asked me if she could have an egg with avocado, what I was eating. When she finished the egg she asked for another and I gave her a banana. Her candy bucket is sitting right next to her. Who is this kid??? I dressed up as an American Tourist. So funny! Nate's out of town again this year. I know it pains him to miss Gwyn's actual birthday and Halloween two years in a row. We miss him SOOOO much! He's in Texas doing some training for work. This time they are paying for it so that's nice :) He gets home November 16th and then we leave for Hawaii on December 5th. I CANNOT WAIT! My girlfriend Tammy volunteered to watch Gwyn for us and so we get to go kid-less. She's the best! P.S. Yes, I did eat 4 mini twix bars and one mini mars bar. This is the first time since June I've eaten this kind of crap and I can verify...it's crap. I'm currently drinking cammomile tea in an effort to sooth my tummy :(

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...
