All my glucose levels came back normal! Hallelujah!

Daniel also came up with this very weird CREATIVE idea to grow his beard out so when we did family pictures for Christmas he could paint it white and be Santa... drum roll please.................................

 He is something else! lol I will have to admit I was not thrilled with this idea and actually I really did not care to take ANY Family Christmas photos, however the deal was made that once he got his picture, he SHAVES the beard. So now it is gone and I can see my handsome man's face! :) I am really glad we did this though, it ended up being a hilarious and memorable time for the both of us and I will cherish times like these forever. 

I couldn't help but throw this picture in that Daniel got of my darling, Killer and his new toy we got him for Christmas! I love him so!! 

Project Exterior Paint!

I mentioned a few weeks ago that we were attempting to paint the outside of our house that desperately needed it! 

(I bought the house with the horrid blue already on it so this has been on the project list for almost 3 years!!) 

Well, we finally got the first coat down and I am in LOVE!! 

Before

Before

After!!! 

I know some might find it super boring however, I am a big fan of neutral colors and I love the way the white and the diamond mine go together perfectly!

Now I just need to quit being a little chicken and paint my door a color that pops! The white just isn't going to work.

I'm think the color on this door may be the winner (no yellow trim)!! I'm just scared!!

Last but not least I had to include this hilarious picture of my Honey Bun whom put forth all the hard work into getting the house painted and doing such an amazing job at it! I don't know what I would do without him!! <3 you babe! 

<3 you babe!

I got a call last week from the nurse that said my 1 hour glucose tolerance test came back elevated (boooo) and that they would like me to come back in to do the 3 hour glucose tolerance test. I did that suffered on Tuesday morning and now my arms have these beautiful little bruises!! I’m praying that I will pass this one with flying colors because the thought of gestational diabetes really scares me. However, I do truly feel very lucky to come thus far without major issues and I thank God everyday for this. :) I will update once I get a call back from the Dr office!

We didn't end up starting Lamaze as planned; they didn't have enough participants so they cancelled the 6 week class. Not going to lie, I was pretty bummed. We are hoping to start the January class which ends 2 days before her due date! Talking about cutting it close!!
