Waiting...

This morning I had my Glucose Tolerance Test and to put it mildly I would love to drink a gallon of the red koolaid they gave me last week compared to the orange syrup I had to force down this morning. :-) I had no idea that the "3 hour test" meant that you got your blood drawn every hour for 3 hours...I thought I would get my finger pricked again after the 3 hour waiting period! So this was all new to me! But I fortunately had an awesome nurse who knew exactly what she was doing, so it pinched a little each time, but nothing like the super hematoma I got one time before. I also got to look at a ton of birth announcements & get some good ideas for little E-man's announcement. Anyways, I could hear something tommorow but it will more than likely be Monday since my doctor will be out after tommorow. That's all for now!!

Mother's Morning Out!!

Abby did so great this morning at Mother's Morning Out! She walked right in and started playing. At least there were no tears...from either of us :-) I got to do so much for the short time she was there. I went to the gym, cleaned the bathrooms, did laundry & even had time to meet my sweet hubby for lunch! Then we headed back over to pick Abby up! She was just a playing & so happy to see us...okay, okay! She was way more HAPPY to see her Dada, but that is fine with me :-) Her teachers said she did so good, and that it took her a while to realize I had left, but she did cry for a minute when she realized it! And she ate all her lunch! Which has been a sore spot for us lately! So YAY for Abby!!

Anyways, here are some pictures of my lil abs! Tootles!

Abby has gotten so comfortable in her big girl bed that she will get down and wander around. Since we have a baby gate up she can't get out. I just loved seeing this when I woke up Sunday morning. Notice the clothes stuffed into the dresser - clothes that I had folded to put up the next day! What a good little helper :-)

I have quite the little mommy on my hands! She just loves to feed her babies & always says, "Ahhh Baby" when taking care of them! Hopefully she will want to help with her little brother too!

On the way to school!

F!

That is what I made on my glucose tolerance test this morning at my doctor's appt! I for one was shocked, but then again nothing would suprise me this pregnancy. I told my doctor that I am looking to flunk all my tests..haha! All kidding aside, I have the pleasure of going back next week to drink more yummy (barf!) red koolaid then sit for three...yes THREE hours to wait for them to retest my blood sugar. Hopefully I will be cleared at that point, but who knows?

On a good note: I am measuring right on the money & Ethan's heartbeat sounded so strong. He moves & grooves alot now and I am starting to look preggie. Starting being the key word! Today this momma got some much needed r&r before heading home to my crazy kiddo & sweet hubbie who cooked some yummy dinner. For my birthday, my parents & Gma & AC got me a 1/2 day spa package - a preggo massage (heaven), a facial (much needed), lunch (a brownie & salad), pedi & mani! I was there for almost 5 hours and was dying to find a clock. I have no clue what time I ate lunch, etc...that is probablly the first time a clock hasn't ruled my life since Abs was born. So I am refreshed & recharged for my active & precious kiddo!

Abby starts Mother's Morning Out tommorow! Wish her luck & me to not cry! I am so nervous, but happy that she will get to hang with some kiddos her age! Hopefully tommorow I will post about my little mommy & her super fun time at school!

Tootles!

Abby's Camera Ready

New game that Abby loves to play...she screams "WEEEE!!", but it isn't pretty when Mommy or Daddy is tired and can't swing her anymore! Still hilarious!!

We love Ethan's car seat! It is Abby's lounge chair for now!

Tea Parties have begun in our house! Always have to have snacks for them too!

"Chhheeee" says my little cowgirl

Ummm do you think she likes these boots? She has 10 pairs of "Chooes" already...thanks Nana!

Back to Blogging...

This may have been the longest time that I haven't blogged since I began this adventure. My poor laptop finally went kaput...but luckily it did so right around my birthday! Oh Honey!! :-)

Anyways, we have been having alot of fun around the Marshall home. We are working on Ethan's room. I have already completed his crib skirt and will start on the bumper pads this week I hope. I have been taking sewing classes from my sis n law Hollis' mother Charlotte! She is the BOMB!! And thankfully (for me) very patient, as I am still a "seamstress" in the making, so I second guess myself alot. But it is too cool that I am learning to make children's clothing & making my little boys bedding!

Also, Abby will begin Mother's Day Out next Wednesday @ Frazer. She is only going one day a week, but I am excited & nervous about this! I just hope we don't have a melt down, but we shall see. She has is getting so independent & talking so much! I can't believe how much she has grown!

Next Tuesday, I am also going back to the doctors office for my glucose test, yuckie & to check on this little man's progress! He is very active, and I can tell he is going to be a wild one already. Later that day I am having my 1/2 day at the spa my parents & GG & Aunt Cindi gave me! So if you need me, please call before 12:15...I will be absolute mush when I get back home :-)

Look for the post following this one...it has alot of pictures of my little cowgirl :-) and her new smile for the camera face!

Tootles!!
