Good morning, glory! guess who’s on her second cup of decaf Irish breakfast tea and working her way through February’s allure magazine.

As usual, this one’s been very eductational. For instance, I just found out that too faced is going to have a waterproof version of their better Than Sex Mascara. Hmm… good to know.

Today, it’s just much more baby related things for me, like, I have to set aside an area in the restroom where I can give BG her sponge baths, figure out exactly where I’m gonna put the bassinet, exciting stuff like that…

I hope you have a fantastic winter season weekend, and I sure as heck hope it involves chocolate, and/or other Valentine’s Day treats and sweets.

Talk to you soon. good luck in the giveaway.

Rise and shine, friend o’ mine! What an eventful week… I know I’ve been kind of incomunicado, but I wanted to spend some holiday time with my in-laws, and then yesterday was my first day using my new gestational diabetes gizmo/blood testing thingamabob.

In other words, it was a busy week!

Yup, I was diagnosed with that gestational diabetes stuff. It’s pretty common and hopefully temporary. a lot of of the time it goes away after delivery, but for now I have to prick a finger, test a little drop of blood and log the results in my doctor diary four times per day — once in the morning after getting up, and then once again after each meal.

I mean…it’s not my idea of a party, and I still get anxiety when I have to poke myself with the needle, but you gotta do what you gotta do, ya know? High blood sugar can cause issues later, so if I have to test my blood, enjoy what I eat even a lot more closely (What!? No a lot more TJ’s dark chocolate stars this year! THE HORROR!) and exercise a little more, it’s done.

In other news…well, I don’t really have any other news. Tabs is doing well. He’s nearly finished with his Christmas shopping, and he’s been loving life lately because El Hub has been taking him for early morning walks outside while it’s still dark, so he gets to use his amazing cat eyes…
