30-weeks

We are 30-weeks along and feeling great!  A few weeks ago I did the 3-hour Gestational Diabetes test and failed one of the four tests. To be diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes you have to fail two. To be on the safe side they decided to have me follow the "GD" diet and check my blood after each meal. It is a pain in the ass, but I would rather error on the side of caution. GD is a big deal if not managed properly and I obviously don't want to put my child or myself at risk for having Type 2 diabetes in the future. Aside from that, everything is going great! The baby is very active which is my favorite part of being pregnant. Eli is already showing what a great big brother he is going to be with hugging and kissing my belly and talking to the baby, too. Just a matter if weeks and the baby will be here!

I hate bathroom selfies, but I haven't been good about having Nick take pics of my belly... So a bathroom selfie it is!

Coffee date

Eli and I enjoyed a little coffee date together after school... Love these moments together.

Ruby doesn't mind...

Ruby doesn't mind when school is cancelled...

Strep?!

After a couple days of a running nose and a little cough that followed his fever last Friday/Saturday. I bright Eli into the doctor and we learned he has strep... No school tomorrow... Poor little guy....

Hockey Moms

Mom dear old friend Sonja and I met in Will mar when we were 10. She moved to Falcon Heights in the 10th grade, but we gave always kept in touch. Now we live down the street from each other and our boys all (she had 2) play Riseville hockey. So fun!

Loss - September 2012

I came across this draft for a post from September 28, 2012. I haven't shared this with too many people, and it still breaks my heart to think of the baby that we lost. Miscarriages are unfortunately something that many women experience, and something that I think just stays with you... in your heart forever.

September 28, 2012

Recently, we learned that we would be expecting our 2nd baby. We were overjoyed with excitement and quickly began discussing all the changes we would need to make to our home, our life, etc. We were thrilled. Unfortunately, we this week we lost the baby. Our hearts our broken.

I know that many woman go through this and go on to have beautiful healthy babies. But it is a lonely and sad time.

Sleeping in the Doorway...???

It's tricky to get things done around the house when your kid is napping in the doorway... Oh well, guess I'll go sit down and read my book!
