The News Is Out

I had a doctor's appointment today and it took me by surprise. I went in expecting a sit down meeting with a diabetic educator and a perinatologist. Instead, I ended up having an ultrasound and finding out that I am having a girl!

I wish they had been a little more up front about what we would be doing and I would have had Kelly come to the appt. I guess I will be having an ultrasound every month so there will be plenty more, but it was so amazing to see everything going on in there. She is quite active and uncooperative already - she should be just like her mom. Kelly and I couldn't be happier and we are so excited to have a little girl join our family.

Happy Anniversary

Last week Kelly and I both had some time off. We had talked about a bunch of different things we could do, but in the end we didn't really do anything. Wednesday we mostly stayed at home. I did get some sewing done while Kelly worked on some homework. It was a pretty low key day. It was Bill's (Kelly's Dad) birthday so we had a BBQ at Library Park and I made a pan of cinnamon rolls for Bill because that was his request for his birthday treat.

Thursday, we tried to make up for our previous relaxing day by doing a ton of stuff. In the morning we moved furniture. We have been rearranging some of our rooms and we made a lot of progress. Then we had to hurry and get showered and dressed so we could get up to Ogden. We made some stops on our way up and made it there in plenty of time to visit with my Grandparents before our appointment. We met Jamie to go and get our pictures taken in "scenic" Peterson. I say scenic because Jamie has to be the worst navigator there ever was. We basically saw the whole city 3 times before finding the "canyony part with a road" that we were looking for. Needless to say, we saw a lot of scenery. We did finally get to where we were going and get some pictures taken. Hopefully, they will turn out, but you never know. We did get to have a bowl of delicious homemade vanilla bean ice cream at my parent's house while we watered their garden. Plus, we were starving after our photo session so we went to Iggy's and had some yummy food. Kelly loved their Chili Water sauce and dipped everything he ate in it. We also ended up bringing a bottle of it home. I think it stinks.

Friday, we did our weekly shopping. Honestly, I can't remember much about Friday and I asked Kelly what we did and he couldn't come up with anything either. It must have been a real exciting day. Oh yeah, I killed another black widow and this one exploded brown goo all over my garage floor and shoe. There was also a pile of dead spider carcasses that was not to be believed. This motivated us to schedule a trip to Home Depot for some poison.

Saturday, we got a new recliner and got rid of a dresser from our basement. We got some bug bombs to kill all the bugs in our garage and our dead black widow count is now at 3. We actually did some weeding in our garden. We went to the Bees game that night and watched the fireworks, which were very disappointing. The Bees got killed, but on a positive note I did get to eat a bunch of Cinnamon Roasted Almonds that were delicious!

It was a nice, relaxing time and it was great because we got to spend all our time together. We didn't take pictures (except the ones we had done) and we didn't have a whole lot going on, but it was so nice to spend time with my Kelly. We are going on a little trip this weekend, so maybe I will do a better job with the pictures Ü

I am so glad that I have been married to Kelly for 3 years now! I can't speak for him, but they have been great for me. I am one lucky girl.

A Fun (?) New Toy

This is a picture of yet another thing that I get to inject into my body now! I am such a lucky girl. Actually, I am very fortunate to have this little thing, but I have a bad attitude about it today. It is a continuous glucose monitoring system which will give me a reading on my sugar level every 5 minutes. If only it worked we would really have something. I just started using it this morning so we are still working out the kinks. For example, right now it is telling me that my sugar is 334 when it is really like 140. It is a touch off, but hopefully by Thursday we should be in business with this thing. It has a wicked syringe that you have to inject, but I am hoping that in the end it will be a great addition and will help me to control my sugar better. I am sure at this point you are all wishing that you too could be diabetic, right? Let me just say - it is a lot of fun.

Also, I wanted to post this picture I took in my garage.
This is the spider that was in my garage that I killed a few weeks ago. I had to swipe it off the ceiling with a broom and then hurry down the ladder to step on it before it could run away. It is a good thing I have catlike reflexes and that I didn't fall when trying to hurry down the ladder. The great news is that it is dead and it didn't even squish too much on my shoe Ü
