Where in the world is Leah?

Wow, I cannot believe it’s been almost a month since I last posted.  Things have been a little crazy around here.  I know in the next few weeks it will be even more crazy! Here is a long recap of what we have been up to.

Two weeks ago was my 28 week check up and the lovely glucose test.  OH MY.  All I have to say is it sucked.  I barely choked down the lovely flat fruit punch “drink” in the allotted 10 minutes.  I felt worse after drinking the crap than I did going without food that morning. When I was waiting to see Dr. Hudson, I looked down at my hands at some point and they were very pale.  I can only imagine what my face looked like. I swear my blood sugar dropped more after drinking that crap than going up.  I really thought I was going to be starving afterwards, but by the time I left the office, I was no longer hungry.  The visit was great, I’m not anemic and I passed my test.  Well, I should say I’m assuming I did since it’s been 2 weeks and I never heard from them saying I failed.  Woo hoo!  Funny how now that I have that out of the way, I want cupcakes!  I guess I was more cautious about watching my intake of sweets than I realized. 

Last week (ok now it has been 2 weeks since I first started this post) I was in Seattle for SQL PASS.  Yes, I know.  I’m a geek, but I love it!  I had a good time and my brain was ready for me to come back.  It has been a long time since I sat in a classroom for 8 hours (not all back to back, but total) learning things.  It’s a lot different than working 8 hours a day.  Brian was able to take a week of vacation to come with me.  Granted he had more fun than I did and was able to see Seattle more, but we did get to do a few things at night. 

Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Before we left for Seattle, the nursery bedding was finally read and we picked it up.  I can’t wait to share it all set up with you!

I’m hoping by the middle of November to have the nursery all set up.  I find it amazing that I haven’t freaked out yet about it not being all ready.  We are ripping up carpet and moving furniture around this weekend.  I still have to figure out what all to put on the walls.  I do have a plan for some art work, aka initials, but other than zero ideas. 

This week (last week) starts my bi-weekly doctor’s appointments.  Yep, that means we only have 10 WEEKS left!  I’m sure going every 2 weeks will help speed up time, plus the holidays are about to be in full swing. 

Friday (last Friday) Mom and DeAnne are coming in town to go to Celebration Village.  Maybe I can add a few more gifts to my Christmas pile.  I have a good start on it, but not near where I was hoping to be by this time.
