More Sugar!!!

I unfortunately did NOT pass the first glucose test, so I am on to the four hour. I go in tomorrow at 9 am to start this really grueling process. I had gestional diabetes with Madie, but had to have the 4 hr test with all pregnancies. I will just bring a book and lots of water. I just pray that the headache that will follow will go away before I have to take Cadie to violin lessons. Ugh, can you imagine sitting through violin lessons with a headache.
Again any and all wishes of luck and prays on my behalf will be accepted and appreciated.

Quirky!!!! I was tagged and so are you!!!

1. I don't know if I am quirky at all. At least to me I seem normal. I guess one would have to be I have a really hard time finishing projects. If I get busy, bored, sidetracked or anything else I have the hardest time picking that project back up. I have started HUNDREDS of little projects and not one of them is finished. Ok, maybe one or two.

2. I have to have lines on my carpet. (Thank goodness I don't have carpet anymore, at least not in visible areas.) I would vacuum up to 5 or 6 times a day just to see the lines. Shawn used to walk in circles on the carpet just to see my reaction.

3. I don't like to go places by myself, but I like to be away from my family. I will beg and beg for some alone time and then when I am able to go, I flake out and ask if someone wants to go with me.

4. I love to read, if I get into a book, I will not do any chores or anything that I need to do until the book is done. If it is a really good book, that could be 24-72 hrs, if it is an ok book then I will be more willing to put it down on occasion. Unfortunately for my family I read a lot. Lucky for them, I will take a break between books.

5. Everything in my fridge has a home. I don't like anything out of place. My sister-in law refused to put anything away for me for a long while, now she knows where everything goes and so she is good now. (I wish that habit would carry over to the rest of the house, but alas I am not that blessed.)

6. I don't mind doing dishes or laundry, I just don't like to put it away. I will wash dishes till the cows come home as long and I don't have to put it away. Same with laundry, as long as I don't have to fold and put it away I am good.

I hope you enjoyed this brief look into my quirky life!
Now it is your turn, I tag Jen, Ariana, Lauri, Becca, Melody, Sarah and Gayle.
I hope you all are well and up to the challenge!

SUGAR, SUGAR Oh HONEY, HONEY!!!

Wish me luck I am off to have my Glucose tested today. They are doing this test early because I have had Gestational Diabetes before and I have been close with at least one other. I am praying that I won't have to do the 4 hour one. Oh GAG me!!! I can suffer through the 1 hour.

Tune in Oct 6th

We scheduled the ultrasound for Monday Oct 6th. Shawn and I are pretty excited to see our baby. Getting the sex is pretty exciting too. I just really want to see it. I wouldn't mind seeing it every month, but that is just me. So tune in soon after for the big announcement!!!!

ME!!! PREGNANT?!!

Here are a couple pictures of me pregnant. I know you can't really tell, I am just looking a bit more chubby than normal.

I am 16 weeks and due Feb 27th. I get to find out what I am having in about 3 weeks. I am so excited about that part. Shawn is even more wanting a boy than ever. He won't let anyone forget that, that is what he wants. I hope for his sake his hopes aren't dashed if it is not. I just want to see the baby and make sure it is healthy before I get my hopes up for anything in particular. I am a bit worried about the health of the baby since I have not gained any weight. Which is not normal for me. I am sure it will be fine, but still can't help wondering why.

Naomee and her new Clothes!

I don't know why she thinks she has to tilt her head so far, but she loves to pose for pictures!
Here is one of the new set of clothes she got, this one is her favorite of the 3 outfits that my mom sent.

Naomee's First Day of Preschool!!!

Preschool!!
Here is Naomee getting ready for the first day of Preschool. She started on Monday!
She has been more than excited for a while.
She loves to pose for pictures!!
So funny!!

Naomee with her new backpack!!

Here is Mom with Naomee!
(not the best of mom but oh well)

Naomee picked the computers to play on first.

Just in case your wondering what is up with the smile, she put on chap stick and so she smiles funny when she has that on. It is strange, you would think she would smile more.

Naomee has been counting down days til school started since some time in August. She received a letter saying when school would start and then Mommy bought her a new backpack and so that probably is why she was so much more excited. I had a little bit of a hard time as we left the house, she is just growing up so fast. (I was really good and held it together at the school though.) She has has so much fun with school and comes home so happy!

A new school year has begun!!! YEAH!!!!

From new shoes....to new school supplies...

and new clothes

these girls are ready to rock and roll!!!

First day of school, how exciting! Madie woke up at 5:30 AM and was mad that I wouldn't let her get up and get ready for school. She called to me at 6 and again at 6:15 and then again at 6:30, all with the same question "Is it time NOW?" Finally I relented and let her out of her room just before 7am. Luckily they were so excited to get ready for school that they were done and fully ready to walk out the door by 7:15. With one hour to go before we could leave, we did all of our chores and then did pictures and still had time to spare. Madie was the most impatient, but we worked it out.

Here are the girls walking to school,

past the construction that is still going on at there school.

Madie thrilled to be in here class.

Madie was even more excited to be in school, so much so that she came into the class room and dumped her supplies on the floor (literally) and then got distracted and left them there while she went off to do something else.
Cadie on the other hand had a little bit of a hard time adjusting to a new class and a new teacher and new kids. She did eventually calm done, but not enough for me to get her picture. Now she loves school, her teacher and doesn't hesitate to leave for school. She just gets nervous when change happens.
The first day the girls were in school I took the day off, mostly because I was woke up at 5 something in the morning. Shawn came home sick too, so nothing got done Tuesday. Yesterday I didn't sit around, I had too many errands to run. By the time I got home I was really tired and the headache started. But I got a lot done. Today I don't know what we are going to do. Naomee has an open house at her preschool today and so she is thrilled to be going to her school today. The ward Daddy/Daughter is friday and so Shawn is taking the girls out of school early so they can spend most of the day together, and because they have to leave camp at like 6am to get to Madie's soccer game. (We would just let her miss the game, except Shawn is the coach. So they both can't miss it, besides it is the first game.)
Well that is enough for today.
