Braxton hicks

This baby is gonna make me work!!  It's memorial day weekend and in my normal Nancy fashion I would have myself busy with projects from sun up to sun down.  Not today.  We went garage saleing and got donuts at Just Desserts this morning and got home around 10:30.  I took a nap and then woke up before noon, ate lunch and Gabby and I went to Second Chance.  We didn't find much so headed home where I laid on the couch all day!!!!  Serious!  I was so mad but I simply didn't have the energy to do anything other than lay there.  Our plan that evening was to go to the Bredesons for dinner and so Nate lovingly went to the store, made our dinner contributions and dessert.  At the Bredesons is where the Braxton Hicks started and they're painful.  Debilitating.  I pretty mulch sat in a chair and felt bad for myself for most of the night. We are home now and I've had a little snack and am taking a warm bath. My tightening swollen belly is giving me a run for my money.  This week I've had two people tell that I look like I'm gonna pop.  I'm definitely feeling like I'm carrying more in the front with this baby but also feel very similar, minus Braxton hicks, to Gabby pregnancy.  I'm hopeful that I just needed a day of catch up rest and I'll be back to my normal busy self.

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...
