Celebration...

And I'm not talking about Christmas (although I love Christmas cheer of any kind- Lance always laughs at me because he catches me smiling at any sort of Christmas cheer...i.e. decorations, lights, music, shopping for gifts, etc.). I'm talking about my last week of work.
I can't wait. It's been a good job but I'm glad to be able to spend the month with family for Christmas and have a month off to do whatever I want before my real full-time job starts!

Christmas Tunes

I've been listening to this...

{amazon.com}

But I need some more variety. I grew up listening to all kinds of great Christmas CD's but now that I'm on my own, I have slim pickins (We have pretty much any other good CD but not many Christmas ones). Any good recommendations? I love the classics, so if you have a good CD with those that would be even better!

Teaching Tolerance

2 things I have a hard time tolerating:

GTT- I have no tolerance for the test itself. Those of you familiar with the Glucose Tolerance Test will know that drink is nasty. Well nobody will ever know how I performed on that test, because about an hour after drinking it, I barely made it to the bathroom before throwing up EVERYWHERE. Poor hospital janitors (I did my best to wipe it up but it was hopeless). Luckily my Dr isn’t worried and I don’t have to redo the test (my score was only 1 point too high).

People’s comments- Here are a few I’ve been the recipient of lately:
1- “You’re fatter this time than you were last time we came in”- patient I’ve never seen before
2- “Are you sure you’re not having twins?”-several people have asked this one
3- “Are you sure there’s nothing wrong, you’re really getting huge fast.”-coworker
4- “Have you been eating too many treats or is there some news you want to share with me?”-some person I don’t even know
(I know there are more, but those of you who have talked to me lately know my memory is eluding me during pregnancy)

A good one...

We watched this cute movie with our friends Chet and Mary the other night. It was so funny! I would highly recommend it. One of the best we have seen in a long time. We can't wait to start watching movies like this with our little guy!

Happy Thanksgiving

I have a lot to be grateful for this year. Needless to say I won’t share them all. I’m especially grateful this week for my family. I have the funkiest, most awesome parents and brothers and sisters (not to mention Lance’s family and all of my nieces and nephews).

I’m grateful for this cute little boy who is coming to light up our little family in 2 ½ months. We can’t wait.

Most of all, I’m grateful for the best husband in the world and the fact that after almost 8 years together, we are still so happy. What a blessing to be in a relationship that takes such little effort and brings so much happiness.

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday!
