My Boyfriend

Another weekend is quickly approaching. I'm excited about Friday night - DATE NIGHT with Joel. He's been my boyfriend for over 9 years now, and I love getting to spend one on one time with him. (Okay, so I'm feeling a bit sappy...it could be the hormones.) It's been over a month since our last date, so we're due-and I know that once baby girl comes that our together time will be limited. There's something about having a nursing baby that makes it hard to 'get away'. I'm ready to meet her though! From the way she kicks (and does gymnastics) in my belly, I think she'll be feisty. I also assume she'll look just like Mr. P did when he was a newborn. If she looks different (as kids tend to do) then I'll be surprised. :)

My two favorite guys!

Yesterday was my 32 week appointment. No glucose in my urine, hooray!...and I hadn't gained any weight since my last appointment. The midwife (a different one from last time) asked me if I was feeling okay. Excuse me? Am I feeling okay? YES. I just got freaked out by my last appointment and worried I'd have a 10-pounder. It's hard to eat the same amount when I'm having to severely limit carb and sugar intake. :) Anyhow, she said everything looked great...and, while I'm still going to be watchful of carbs and sugar (I don't need a lot of the extra 'junk' anyhow) I at least feel like I can eat in moderation. Which, I guess is kinda the point.

Mr. P and I enjoyed some time outside today. It's so sunny and beautiful...I pretended we were on a beach vacation. I even got a little burn! :) But, alas...there was no ocean...and I was wearing my maternity clothes instead of a bathing suit. Oh well, a girl can dream, ha! For our 'vacation' this year we'll be at the Hospital having our daughter, so...I'm trying to improvise here.
