Is that Ron?

We were going through pictures at Ryan's house last night and came across some pretty good finds, but this one stole the show. This is my Father-in-law doing his best Ron Burgandy impression. I also found lots of cute and embarrassing pictures of Ryan but I don't want him mad at me for posting them.

It's not so bad

Ok, so I thought it was going to be alot worse. I met with a dietitian yesterday and found out what all I have to do in regards to having gestational diabetes. Guess what, I HAVE to eat carbs, woo hoo. Although that doesn't mean I get to eat all the cupcakes I want unfortunately. I have to write down everything I eat and check my blood sugar 4 times a day. Doesn't sound too bad right. Yeah well that's how I felt this morning.
At the moment I'm a little frustrated but I'll get over it. My blood sugar was still pretty high after lunch when I didn't even have any sugar, but I'm thinking it's because I took a nap right after eating. Also my fingers are starting to hurt from all this pin pricking I have to do. Then I tried to pick up a prescription for the test strips for the machine they gave me, turns out you can only get them through mail order and even then I'm not allowed to order them. So why the H*** did they give me that machine. I can get another machine for free covered by my insurance but I'm sure they will charge me for the first one still. I got a rogahm shot a week ago and sat in a room for 10 mins tops, on the couch mind you, and just got a bill for 77 buck for a 'room stay'. Seriously ridiculous. I've been listening to too much news about health care reform so every little thing irritates me now. So sorry for the rant. If I would have written this post this morning it would have had a much more upbeat tone.
Here's to tomorrow morning and lunch with Kellee Kellee!

No Fun

I got the call today and I have Gestational Diabetes. The thought of not having any sugar and limited carbs for the next 2 months is depressing, but it's only 2 months. I have to go meet with a specialist at the hospital soon to find out exactly what I need to be doing.
If anyone has some good idea's for things I can eat let me know. The nurse said it's basically like being on an Atkins diet. Fun for me!

Random

I haven't come up with anything worth blogging about lately so I thought I would take an idea from Hannah and just do a 'Random' post. So here goes.
1. Ike is turning 2 in less than a month and I can't believe it. Everyone says they grow up so fast but wow. He's definitely having his 2 year old moments already, but most of the time he's still my little sweet guy.
2. I've been painting Ike's room finally. Ryan has never liked the color I first painted it. I tried to go the environmental paint route which worked great for the top coat I got at Kwal paint but the primer was so runny I couldn't use it and just used stinky old kilnz. Oh well I tried.
3. I bought a pass to Thanksgiving point 2 weeks ago and I've already used it's value. I went today to the Animal farm. Ike loves riding the horse and I loved seeing the baby goats. One of the cows had a name tag on named Millie so Ike kept saying bye millie. Now he'll probably think all cows are named millie, which is a good name for a cow.
4. I got a call from my doctor on Wed. about my glucose test being high so now I have to go take a 3 hour test at the hospital. I have to fast before and then get my blood drawn 4 times. I just hope I don't pass out. I'm crossing my fingers I don't have gestational diabetes, but I guess it would be good for me to start watching what I eat.
5. I'm starting to rethink this whole having another baby thing. I don't know how I'm going to do it without going insane. 67 days and counting.
6. I'm not ready for the Fall tv to be over. I guess there really aren't that many network shows that I watch but the ones I do watch I like having a new one every week. Let me know if there are any new shows coming on this summer I should watch.
7. I'm so irritated with my iPod I could scream. Ryan got it for me for Christmas and it's already broken. It won't upload any music. He got it from Walmart, which I have a theory that somehow Walmart buys seconds, even of the name brand stuff. I hate Walmart but yet I shop there all the time because it's right down the street and it's alot cheaper, but I hate myself for it. I'm still a Target girl through and through.
That's probably enough random rant for one post. If you're like me when I see a long post with no pictures my eyes just glaze over so if you read this whole thing thanks. I'll work on taking more pictures of my wonderful exciting life and post them for you really soon.

3 Years down and 100+ to go

It's Ryan and my 3 year anniversary today. In some ways I can't believe it's been 3 years already, but it also seems like we've been together a lot longer than that. Who knew by the 3 year mark I would have a 2 year old and another coming soon. It's been a wonderful three years I wouldn't trade them for anything. Ryan is the love of my life and I can't imagine my life without him.

So raise your glasses with me and here's to another 100+ years together.

I want...

This Crib they have at Target. It's the least expensive convertible crib I've found that is also good looking. Does anyone really convert them after they are done being cribs? We still have the crib Ike used but it's not in the best shape although it's usable. Ryan decided he wanted to get the boys matching crib and bed so I've been on the hunt. I need to find a twin bed for Ike soon because I'm in and out of his bed several times a night and his mattress is just on the floor now which is getting harder to get up off of. So far I think the least expensive twin beds I've found are at Knights Furniture. If anyone knows any secret furniture stores I need to check out let me know.

I also want This stroller that Jemma and I saw at the Tulip Festival yesterday. I even told the mom pushing it around that we had stroller envy. Here's the thing though, do you think I need a double stroller. Ike and new baby will be 2 years apart. How long do kids stay in strollers, I guess to some extent till they are 4. I just hate the thought of maneuvering a double stroller around, but that's why I like this one cause the front wheel is tucked in and it didn't seem that wide. My other reasoning for wanting it is because I'm going to have to exercise after the baby and I won't be able to take the boys on walks without a double.
