Spring 2018

It's almost my 34th birthday. I'm feeling old. 34! Where has the time gone? This last year has truly been a blur for me. Probably partially because Nates been gone for work so much and we've had so many changes with work, childcare, issues with cars, helping mom with her house. It's a non stop crazy house around here. The girls just finished up soccer with the YMCA and that was a lot of fun! Gwyneth has almost completed a full school year of piano and she's set to have her first concert next week. She is so good. Her skills have surpassed my abilities and I love love love listening to her play.

Next week is my birthday and I'm throwing myself a little partay. Ha! I'm planning a pedicure for myself then drinks and karaokee with friends. Nate should be home sometime next week too. We miss him oh so badly. This time seems to be the toughest and maybe it's because he was only home for two days before he headed out again. He's been gone for two weeks now but should have some time off this summer. Before we know it Gwyn will be out of school and we will be full of camping, parties, projects, sunshine, dirt, and relaxation. That's my plan for this summer. Spend more time relaxing and calming down. I need to at least try! 

In a few weeks I'm seeing a dermatologist to chat about psoriatic arthritis. It seems like my body is more achy then normal and it really started at the beginning of the year. Lately my hands have been swollen and achy. If i sit too long...like 30 mins..my tail bone is very painful. Just overall body aches. In January i started sleeping on the couch and found it quite restful but now im starting to not feel rested again :( Not sure what's going on or if it's just lack of true metabolic exercise...let's be real chasing Gigi for an hour each day is burning calories but my heart rate isn't going up! Ha!  I'll make a follow up post when I have some more answers. In the mean time I've been doing short yoga sessions in the morning and evening. I enjoy them but find them quite boring. :p

Either way the years are starting to catch up on me and I'm going to enjoy my birthday and party it up this summer!

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...
