Best Moment this week: Finding out I DON'T have gestational diabetes
Well - I found out yesterday that I don't have GD! I am SO thankful! That was the best call I got all day! I also just realized that I'm in my third trimester now! Or I'm about to enter it - not sure - but I'm there! Wow - this is going SO fast this time!
Today is my birthday and I'm 37 years old! Yikes! It's a little stressful thinking about being so close to 40. I just really don't know when this happened. I swear I was just in college. ha! At least having two babies should keep me young! (Or make me really old if Hollis sleeps anything like Harper does).
My birthday didn't start off too great. Harper has been sleeping SO good lately but of course last night she was up around 11 and Scott was out of town so I let her get in bed with me. And then it was like a mini party. She was up talking and moving around and having a good old time until 2:30 when she finally went to sleep. I have no idea what her deal was. (And of course she was up and running by 7) Maybe it was the 3 Red Bulls I let her have before bed time. Or the 5 hour energy drink. (I kid)
So I decided we would both get dressed and I would be crazy and take her to lunch by myself because I was craving a local tea room. I took her video player and she did really good! Scott just got home and tonight we are doing something we've only done once since Harper was born - we have a babysitter and we are going out to eat on a birthday date! I'm so excited!
And could you pray for a couple of people:
I know there are hundreds or thousands more of people who need our prayer right now. Pray for those who don't face Christmas with a lot of joy or happiness. Pray that the same Jesus whose birthday we celebrate will be their comforter right now!
