Preggo

We did it!  Without any help!!  Hallelujah!!  After my appointment in November we went to Hawaii and I knew my body was trying hard to ovulate/cycle.  I bought another box if ovulation testers and started right away.  I showed two positive ovulation says and bam I'm 14 days preggo today...in medical terms that's 4 Weeks.  I knew I was pregnant at 5 days post ovulation because I got four cold sores in three days.  The same day I got my first cold sore I watched my friend Tammy's kids and she told me that she go out them when she was do first pregnant with her kids...I took my first test @ 11 days and that same day Tammy texted me asking me if I was pregnant cause she had a dream I was.  Later that day Gwyn sweetly asked me if I was pregant.  Come on people?  Nate and I are going to hold out from telling people until we are past 10 Weeks.  That's 6 weeks from now! Ahhh...I have no idea how I'm going to keep it a secret because I'm the worst liar ever!

Nate and I are soooooo happy to have gotten to this day.  We have been trying for 20 months to create this little miracle.  In November I went to Birchwood Womans health and was very disappointed with the doctor there.  I knew my body was working hard these last few months to iron out my hormones because I was noticing it with my temperature, mood and boobs.  I know there is a high miscarriage rate for woman with pcos so I'm not going to get my hopes up too much.  I'm just excited because I "we" did it!  My body can do this.  I feel so blessed and can't wait for 36 more to go by!!  Here we go! :) xoxo

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...
