Glucose Test!

Well I got my results and they were normal! Totally thought that I would have flunked and have to do the 3 hour, hang out in the waiting room test. But I'm cleared. Look out ice cream and brownies, here I come!!!

Had my 28 week check-up today with my glucose test. I didn't gain weight this month, yippee! I was getting nervous b/c last month I had gained 10lbs! That's a lot to gain in a month! My belly is getting so huge that I don't think I have anymore room to stretch! I am measuring 30cm which make me believe this kiddo will be HUGE!! Probably a nine pounder! My Dr. said that we will monitor in two weeks to see how I am measuring. I won't be sad if she wants to induce at 38weeks! It's going to be a long summer! Keep you all updated on how my glucose test turns out.

A day at the lake!

I can't find my camera to post what the family has done the last couple of weeks so I'm really bummed!
Took David fishing today with my niece Kyn and sister-in-law. Of course I'm kind of a girly girl and don't touch worms or fish. So my sis-in-law had to bait my hooks for me! Her and her crew caught a total of 12 fish. David and I, not so much! Had a few nibbles, but not one to catch! We had a great time. When David was in the bath tonight I noticed a dark spot on his back. It looked like a mole but with further investigation I discovered a tiny tick. I whipped out the alcohol and tried to smoother the tick out of my son's skin but the sucker wouldn't budge. So thinking it might be dead, cuz what can breath when covered in alcohol, I tried pulling it out with tweezers! Still didn't pullout. So I called my dad and suggested I cover it with finger nail polish to kill it. Sure enough the tick was still alive and now stuck to my son. It quickly died! After a few minutes or so I removed the polish and tried to remove the tick. Just for future reference ticks heads won't come out when it's dead. So now the head of a dead tick is in my son's skin! Now he's probably going to get an infection or Lyme's disease!!! Why couldn't my husband been home to take care of this!

Happy Easter!!!

We cheated and had our Easter yesterday! We knew the weather was going to be rainy and cold so we had the Easter egg hunt while it was nice outside. My niece Kynleah spent the night on Friday and by morning the Easter Bunny had brought Easter baskets full of candy and hide eggs outside for them to find! The Easter Bunny went a little over board with the candy this year! The kids really enjoyed themselves. Jake was clueless, but did find an egg hiding in his swing!

Baking for Easter!

I couldn't just stop at dying Easter eggs, I had to bake cookies and cupcakes! David loves to bake with me and Justin was never one for holiday spirit, but he is coming around! David and Justin rolled out the dough and cut the shapes. While I prepared the dough and batter!



David decorated the cookies and cupcakes while I did the icing. For some reason the sprinkles would not stick to the icing. I had to press the sprinkles into the icing to make them stay on. They aren't perfect looking which bothers me, but you can't be Martha Stewart with a three year old helping! I am getting better at being more relaxed when David helps!

Dying Easter Eggs

Easter egg dying was fun. David was a big help and amazingly he didn't stain his clothes. I bought a kit for like $1.00 and we only had about three colors to work with. No orange and the pink and purple were pretty much the same color. I guess you get what you pay for. The kit was a glitter kit, but it didn't turn out so well! The glitter just clumped on parts of the egg and the stick'ems that you dip the egg in first took the color off. Too much trouble, too much of a bother!

Hunting for eggs around town!

David and I went to an Easter Egg Hunt With my friend Rachel and her boys. We started in the Town Square and had a map that gave us clues to what stores the Easter eggs were hidden. There were a few bars that had Easter eggs hidden, is this a pub crawl? David had fun getting candy, seeing the Easter Bunny and hanging with "The Boys!"
