December Thoughts

Well it's been seven weeks since I've given birth to my baby girl.  She is growing big already.  We've had plenty of visitors and lots of gifts.  My princess has clothes to last her until she's 50-years-old.  I'm already back to work, started back a few weeks ago.  It's nice to get out of the house, I'm ashamed to say.  I DO hate working, but for some reason, I got super lonely sitting at home by myself on maternity leave.  Sam's mom Judy started to come over and keep me company and it made a huge difference.  I am embarrassed to say too that I was looking forward to going back to work, just a little bit.  I think I was ready to get away from monotony and crying...haha!!!

I have been spending my Christmases over the past few years up in Minnesota at my brother's house.  I would usually take a few weeks off and drive up the week before Christmas.  This year I've decided that my little Bella is just not ready to make the 4 and a half hour trip, so we're staying home.  I am a bit sad to not be up there with my bro and his three boys.  It's kind of weird not being able to do what I want on a whim now...I have a little person that I must always consider.  Why the hell didn't I think of that BEFORE I got pregnant?  Teehee!!  Next year during Christmas Bella will be one, and I'm sure she'll be just fine for driving up there.  We're just missing one year, no big deal.

I've been slacking on the blog writing, not too many people read it anyway.  I promise to get back in the rhythm of things, especially now since we've got an extra person to report on.

Talk to you soon!

Holy Hell Where Have I Been?

I'm back!!!!

I missed over a month of updated you on our lives!  We've been busy getting ready for baby, and I've been exhausted.

Today is October 16th.  I have gestational diabetes.  We are due on November 8th.  However, because of my gestational diabetes, my doctor does not want to let me go past my 39th week.  Therefore, if I don't go into labor on my own, I will be induced on Monday, November 1st, when I am 39 weeks exactly.  I can't wait.  I'm tired, my back hurts, my hands are huge sausages, they get numb a lot, especially in the middle of the night.  I pee my pants all the time, I'm running to the bathroom all the time, I got pressure in my pelvic area, and I'm just DYING to see my little princess!!!

Sam and I have done some pregnancy photos.  Take a look at them by going to www.aimtoothpaste.shutterfly.com.

Here's one for you...
