It's been SO long!!

I'm actually 28 weeks today, so "officially" in the 3rd trimester.  Since Katherine will more than likely be early, I like to say that I've already been in my 3rd trimester for a couple of weeks.  Makes sense to me!

I did go to my first diabetes "class" last week.  I just got my meter, they told me how often to check my sugars, they gave me a guide for a meal plan and told me what foods fall into what groups.  There were some surprises - for example, all lentils are carbs, not proteins.  Who'da thunk it?!?!  Peas, corn, and potatoes don't count as vegetables.  I thought that was just rude.  So this week I've been annoying everyone around me by meticulously watching everything I put in my mouth.  So far it hasn't been terrible, but I don't think I have this whole thing figured out just yet either.  I'm starting the diabetes routine a full 2 weeks earlier this time than I did with David, and believe me, I'm missing every single one of those cookies I won't be eating over the next 2 weeks!!  So -- if you plan on visiting me after Katherine's born, the price of admission is something with sugar for mommy!!  (I jest, of course)

So, it's been a week since I posted - what's up?!?!  Sorry, I was really just zonked out most of the week.

Here's the video of the progressive pregnancy pictures (turn up your volume, there's a voice over too!  I love my MAC!!)  

I actually also got Christmas cards done.  They aren't actually in the mail yet - I just finished them up tonight, but they're on the way!  I'm later than normal this year, but they are coming.

I'll make a separate post with some Christmas pictures soon.

Oh yeah - one more thing - my ADORABLE, personalized diaper bag came in today.  It's even CUTER in person!  I love it.  John, of course, thinks I'm a little nutty, but it really is just adorable.

Okay, one MORE thing - here's a cute David-ism from tonight.  He got out of the bath and told me, "I'm almost a grown up because I'm already FOUR YEARS OLD!!"  Yep honey, you're almost there!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
