Glucose Test

I should be so excited, today I get to go into the doctor for my glucose test for gestational diabetes. I don't know how it will turn out because my blood sugar is usually really low but pregnancy does some funny things to your body. I had breakfast but everyone else says that you should fast the rest of the day. My appointments in the afternoon. Can you imagine, telling a pregnant woman to fast. YEA that's going to work. I will have a 1 hour test where I have to take the syrup and then wait an hour. If I fail that one I have to take a 3 hour test the same way. I hope that I pass the first one. Three hours in the doctors office will be ridiculous. I guess I'll have to find some stuff to do to take with me.

End of the Season

Well Christmas has come and gone and the New Year is fast approaching. I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. It doesn't seem that I have been pregnant since July, well June technically. We have really been through a lot this year with learning what we can and can't do with the soon to be baby coming, with our new love for our Christmas lights display, and dealing with my mother being away but situations like these have always brought us closer and that's no different here. I am ready to tackle the new year to become a mom and a larger family and what ever else may come this year.

Merry Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope that everyone has a good day today and enjoys all that Santa has brought them. David and I keep discussing how much next Christmas is going to be different with our little one coming. David and I got everything that we asked for this Christmas. Now we can concentrate on getting the nursery together and taking care of our Christmas lights when we get home. Deborah and Erwin played a joke on David. His family has a tradition of REALLY wrapping presents whether it be with duct tape or whatever they have on hand. They wrapped a box with clear tape and inside the box was a throw pillow wrapped with chicken wire. I thought the pillow was the gift but David knew better. He found where they sewed it shut. So he got that open and there was a duct taped box inside the pillow. Inside the box was a "Polaris" key chain and there is an inside joke behind that but it just shows how much kidders his family is. We really had a great day all topped off with a nap. :) I'm enjoying all the food that's around.
