Black Preggie Dress Today

Here’s what I looked like today in the black dress. Notice the significant enlarging of the abdomen. I’m with Zack on my right and Seth on my left with characteristic Badtz-Maru face (Sarah’s favorite Hello Kitty character).

The Black Preggie Dress

OK, here’s a picture of me in the dress back in August… belly isn’t as huge as it is now, but it’s showing. This is at the University of Hawaii just after the graduation ceremony where Josh received his BA Degree in Music. Will post more preggie pictures after I schedule a photo shoot… or [...]

Yay! It’s December!

Just felt like blogging today… been a while. Thanksgiving was great. Got to go to Plano, Texas (Dallas) and get an early taste of winter, hang out with some friends, eat junk all day long, get hooked on GNC’s 100% Whey Protein Powder Drink MIx (20g protein in each scoop), let Josh live his dream [...]

Happy Turkey Week!

I should probably not be posting at this time… I’ve got a few more work deadlines to meet today and I should probably get cracking, but there’s so much to write about! Lots to be thankful for–especially on this holiday week. First, a little update… I went to my 3-hour GDM class (see, I’m all [...]

No Solicitors, Please

Do you ever get a telemarketing call where they ask to speak to your mom or dad? I love these kind of calls because then I can just say no and hang up. I don’t feel bad doing this when they think I’m just some young punk. I guess my voice makes me sound young… [...]

Third Grade Social Life

I was busy scolding my third grade son, Zack, for not having his cub scout uniform hung up because that’s how you keep it from getting wrinkled. He was trying to tell me that he didn’t know that it had been washed and that’s why he didn’t hang it up… what a lame excuse! He [...]

Health Reports on Halloween

Today was a bummer day in the health report department. Lots going on, but I’m not at liberty to spill about anyone else’s report besides my own. I found out today that I failed my 3-hour glucose test. So I officially have gestational diabetes. I tried to call Betty to get some info (she had [...]

Woaow! I feel good!

I’m really feeling good right now! Maybe because I haven’t actually done what I really want to do yet today, but because I’m done doing all the stuff that I have to do today. My slate is cleared! I just finished my last deadline for the week/month… technically, I could keep going, but I don’t [...]

3-Hour Glucose Test

Ugh! I got stuck with a needle six times today. I had to pee in a cup and get my blood taken right when I got to the lab. No problems. Then I had to drink the yucky glucose drink and wait an hour before peeing in a cup and giving more blood. The second [...]

Nothing Sugary

I did so well today… When I volunteered at my kids’ school this morning, I resisted Shipley’s Donuts. And then I ate a sensible lunch… pretzels and a chicken salad sandwich. No dessert. No cookies. Nothing sugary. I drank water all day. No IBC cream soda or Sprite or hot chocolate. No candy or chocolate. [...]
