Blood, Food, Walk, Blood...Repeat
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, sweet November! I love Fall and the anticipation of the first beautiful snowfall!! However, I think I will be anticipating late spring this coming year a little bit more :)
Yes, Sarah, the rumors you have heard are true ;) I am, indeed, expecting again! If you were at all curious about my title, well, that is all part and parcel for this little bundle of joy. After having 3 previous cases of gestational diabetes and a few rather large babies, my new O.B. decided to test me early for diabetes....lo and behold, it was rather high :( Now I have to poke my fingers 4 times a day. It's really not as bad as I thought it would be....the poking, that is....but, the eating 5-6 scheduled times a day is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! I really, really can't stand it, but I will tolerate it for another 5 months and 2 1/2 weeks (give or take a week or so). My due date is May 29, 2010, I, however, don't think that I'll hold out for that long, with all the others I never went past 38 weeks. God forbid I had with Dominic, he was already 10 lbs. 2 oz. when he was born, could you imagine if he had had another 2 weeks to grow!?!?!?!?! OUCH! I already have a bump popping out and the night before last, I felt him/her move for the first time! God is AMAZING! As far as the him/her, I go for my ultrasound on Dec. 21, so, yes, we will find out what he/she is.....I've never been one to like to wait! It's been fun hearing the kids' choices for gender, I've even heard twins...one of each! Uhhhhhhhh...NO!
It's still early in the game, but I've already decided that one of the first foods I want after deliver is ICE CREAM!!!!!!!! I seriously hope this isn't something that I crave throughout this pregnancy! My craving better be water! I can have as much of that as I want....ugh!
On to other stuff....Oh yes...Proud Factor! Emily made CMU Honors Band again this year, her concert was 2 weeks ago and was wonderful....the music they played was:
Ballo del Granduca by: Jan P. Sweelinck
...And the Antelope Play by: John Carnahan
Army of the Nile by: Kenneth Alford
Pineapple Poll, No.'s 1,3,4 by: Arthur Sullivan (my fave of the day)
....while on the way home, she was fretting over whether or not she had made All-State Band again this year, they were expected to post the results by the time we got home from CMU. She hurried to the computer, held her breath and pulled up the MSBOA site.......
SHE MADE ALL-STATE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm so, very, very, very proud of her!
This year, I didn't make the mistake of waiting to reserve a room...oh nooo, I called and got a room at the hotel that is the CLOSEST to the convention center!!! YAY for me!!!! It was quite a walk last year from the Marriott, I'm just glad that the Amway is giving a deal, too. I actually think it's $4 a night cheaper....sure, $8 isn't that much, but hey...cheaper is cheaper! It's going to be nice to not have to walk past all those stupid parking garage entrances/exits and have to smell all that cigarette smoke! This year should be more pleasant too, I won't be coughing my lungs out (God willing!). I'll just have to reserve a fridge so that I can keep my food close at hand...*sigh*.
Well, I just noticed the time, and it is time for snack...all 30 grams of carbs of it. yay.
I hope everyone has a Blessed Thanksgiving, I know that I have extra to be thankful for this year!
Y'all eat some ice cream for me!
Love Ya :)
