This is why I do not have time to post daily or to visit daily. I am so sorry but I am trying to get around a few at a time. I am so very tired when I sit to read I fall asleep. After next week everything will slow down until Christmas Eve. Oh, and it is supposed to snow 4-6 inches tomorrow.
The Doctors visit was ok. The glucose test was so-so. I have to walk more and eat a higher carb diet until the baby is born.
Did I tell you I am so very tired? I am.
Judy, you need to have java scripts enabled to see my banner graphic. It is my house in the winter with snow falling.
Oh my. I would think that all the Christmas preparations would be plenty o' exercise for someone as pregnant as you. Please don't worry about updating us or visiting/leaving comments. Put yourself first. We'll be here. Just update often enough so that we know you are ok. I'm thinking about you.
You forgot to put 'growing a baby' on that to-do list! Slow down, my friend. Your baby will be a dynamo when she/he is born!
Merry Christmas.
~K!
Wow, that's some insanity! I say just don't worry about us out here in the online world and enjoy the heck out of your beautiful family and decorations and such. The banner graphic is beautiful!
Your home is amazing. How gorgeous. It's straight out of a story book. I can't believe how much you get done at this stage in your pregnancy!
Eat a higher carb diet?! Sounds like a dream.
Quite the list, Angie- both done and to-do! Good job! You ARE enjoying yourself, right? And the picture of your house is absolutely breathtaking- beautiful!
Angie, thanks for the tip. I thought I did have java scripts enabled, but maybe not. I will have to try to figure out how to do that. I will ask my daughter to walk me through it.
Please remember you need to take care of yourself throughout this process. Sounds like you are trying to be superwoman again! (or still)
You forgot the partridge in the pear tree.
Gee, Angie, take a rest. Take lots of rests. You are wearing me out, and I have done absolutely NONE of the stuff you have done. (I did order some calling hens online, but I don't know if that counts for much....)
Sounds like you have got it all done- and on the 5th day-she rested-please rest-you are starting to scare me alittle-what do you mean by ok? Hope all is good-Carbs are good-You have done such a great job taking care of yourself-I know you continue to do whats good for you-but please just touch base every so often, so we can know your progress-Take care Angie-and PUT YOUR FEET UP NOW!
I feel guilty for whining about putting up one tree, and telling my daughter the Barbie ornaments were a pain to hang. Judy if you figure out the java script could you please pass along the secret, as I thought mine were enabled too.
I know the feeling. I've got a Christmas party coming up this weekend- Here! EEek! And my husband invited his parents to stay with us the same weekend. Wonnnndderful!
I'll be thinking of you!
I know what Santa is bringing you this year - an ultra deluxe massaging foot spa.
Please let it NOT snow this weekend!!
...she's very tired!
am I supposed to be surprised at this?
am not.
And a partridge in a pear tree....on the 13th day of Christmas..Angie slept ;0)
