* The election is FINALLY OVER. I don't know about any of you, but I'm really excited for television coverage of a different sort.
* My students are ADORABLE. Even when they drive me nuts, I really do see something loveable in each of them. I have one student who has started to do "belly touches" every day. This includes one hand on the bump, an ear close-by, and a little whisper 'hello'. It's so cute - she's hoping the baby recognizes her voice after she's born :)
* This week has been CRAZY!!!! Phil and I have been out late every night this week and the trend continues this evening as we head back to school for parent-teacher conferences! As such, the posts have been minimal and I apologize for that :)
* BABY NEWS: On Saturday morning we went to the clinic to repeat my glucose tolerance test. Later in the afternoon, my doctor called to confirm gestational diabetes. I only had a minor breakdown (right Phil?!) and my common sense kicked in a few hours later. Here's the thing: I realize some women may get G.D. while pregnant.......and I know that it's not my fault.....and I am well aware that I eat like a health hero and exercise religiously.....BUT STILL!!!! All I could think about was my baby girl twirling around in a space full of sugar......and the interweb searches that got my imagination going in directions that were completely UNNECESSARY. I just want to know that I have done everything I can to keep her healthy and safe. And I don't like that this SUGA BIZNAZ is outta my control! Nonetheless, we go to the hospital this Saturday afternoon to sort things out and (hopefully) make a plan for treatment.
* OTHER BABY NEWS: I felt the Baby hiccuping for the first time on the weekend (or so I think)! I had to Google the sensation to find out what in the world was going on because it almost felt like she was having convulsions! Haha. She's also proven to be a nap-hater (like me!) because any time I lay down for some shut-eye, she starts kicking like the next Karate Kid!
* The Bachelor Canada. AY, AY, AY . We haven't even watched the most recent episode but we hear it's hometown dates and the thought of it makes me laugh. How is this man going to choose a wife after like........4 days??? The Canadian version is FLYING BY and I'm guessing it's because they lack the funds to keep the dates a comin'!
* After a long week of work, I am excited for this weekend. I have a coffee (or steamed milk!) date with a friend tomorrow, a trip to the mall scheduled for Friday (woo hoo there's a new section!), and Phil and I are heading to watch some U14 soccer action early Saturday morning. I'm also quite curious to see what the inside of this swanky hospital looks like. From the outside, it appears to be a hotel.....
Wish us luck as we embark on our first round of parent-teacher conferences!!!
XOXO
