Six Feet Under the Table

I don't (think I) complain very often, but I really feel like it, so I think I will. Consider that your warning. I generally enjoy being pregnant. I have it really easy: never sick, only mild heartburn, still have a decent supply of energy to wake up early, go to work, and keep up with the ever-busy Boy. But I think I'm ready to be done with it. This is not because I'm miserable or sick or anything. I'm just... kinda over it for right now. And I'm sure it's just me being hormonal. My 3-hour glucose test revealed that I have low blood sugar. Therefore, I have to test my sugar levels 4x a day. I'm on day 2, and I just don't want to do it any more. But lucky me, I get to test 4x a day for the rest of my pregnancy (<10 weeks), then 3x a week for 6 weeks, then get another 1-hr glucose test. Checking my sugar level doesn't hurt. But remembering to do it does. Baby Girl finds the front of my body to be the most comfortable. This means, I have to go...

This has been the year o' travel. My patience has grown exponentially, and Toddler Boy has become quite the frequent flyer. Of course, my pregnancy hormones have been through the roof, so that makes traveling alone with a toddler a little more interesting. Want to know how it went? Here it goes: On Wednesday, our flight was set to leave at 9:15p. Toddler Boy's bedtime is 7p. However, I scheduled the flight this late so that Toddler Boy would sleep. (Fun fact: Toddler Boy is too much like Mommy. He doesn't sleep on planes.) I brought the umbrella stroller just in case he got tired while waiting at the airport. (He didn't.) He explored every nook and cranny of that place, climbed up on the seats, looked out the windows, gave fist bumps to every passenger in line, and loudly applauded the pilots that FINALLY showed up to the gate 45 minutes AFTER the plane was supposed to depart. It was exhausting. (Fun fact #2: While flying SWA, if you travel at night with a toddler, ...

Wow. March? Really??? That's the last time I posted? Well, since I posted last, I planned two baby showers, am working on a bachelorette party, am planning to be a bridesmaid in two weddings (so... dress shopping), took a family vacation to Alaska/Seattle, met our newest niece, AND we found out we are having a girl. Phew. With that being said, this girl has me craving all sorts of sweets and bad-for-you foods. There isn't a day that goes by that doesn't include one (or many) of the following: a cookie (or 4—chocolate chip, white chocolate chip macadamia, peanut butter, oatmeal with cinnamon chips, oatmeal with reese's pieces... excuse me while I wipe the drool off my protruding belly), ice cream (Ben & Jerry's Coffee Toffee Crunch is my JAM!), candy, s'mores, breads, pastas, CAFFEINE (pop, coffee), crystal light... and the list goes on. I'm telling you, it's all sorts of bad. Then, throw in the fact that we've been traveling a LOT, and ther...
