I'll pass on the sugar and the carbs...

I guess you can tell by the title that I pretty much have gestational diabetes. Oh joy...oh bliss! Diet and fingersticks here I come. As one of my best pals told me earlier this week, the silver lining is I won't have as much wait to lose once the little bambino gets here. That's good since I will be in my sister's wedding four weeks later! And that's all I have to say about that...

Commencement went well. We were in and out of there in no more than two hours! I don't know if you have ever had the opportuntity to see the hooding ceremony for doctoral candidates, but it is pretty impressive. Makes me want to jump right uo and go for my doctoral degree. Sure does....I will wait a bit though for my sanity!!!!

K-man is taking a trip this weekend with his grandparents to go see his cousins in Texas. Always a great time for the K-man and this time little cousin Code-man gets to go to!!! YIPPEE!!! Stayin' in a hotel and swimming...what more can two little boys ask for you say???? Two more Texas cousins to make the fun complete! J-Dub will miss his brother, but it will be good to have some time with little guy and mama and daddy. If only it wouldn't rain....

Here's a video of me walking across the stage. The sounds a little iffy...

EDIT: I can't get the video up from work. I guess I will add sometime over the weekend. Check back!

May Happenings!

I walk tomorrow folks! YES!!!! It's been a long road and I am not quite done with my coursework yet but will be on July 31st! YIPEE!!!! OSU doesn't have a summer graduation so all summer grads walk in the Spring. $53 for my cap and gown. I think I am going to find a week in August and wear it everyday to work. $10/day sounds more worth it than $26.50 an hour. Sheesh....

Things are busy here. K-man is finishing up Kindergarten and will attend a summer daycamp this summer that he is super pumped about. Sweet J-Dub talks more and more everyday. Let me tell you, this kid is hilarious! He cracks me up everyday! We are beginning to operate in the 'terrible twos' mode. Ummhmm, the No's have begun and the attitude to go with it. He has seen some movement on the potty training front and will go anytime you ask does he need to potty. He does not, however, know when he has to go. That is the next step.

Things are moving right along with baby #3. I had to take the glucose test early since I had gestational diabetes with J-Dub. No surprise here - I failed. Three hour test tomorrow. Not looking forward to that. Not. One. Bit. Oh well, we will roll with it.


J-Dub is really getting into praying at night with our family. K-man says the prayer and we all copy what he says. J-Dub gets the last word in while peeking through squinted eyes. I am trying to get it on videotape, but haven't been real successful to this point. The other night Eric and I were eating at the dinner table after the boys were finished. J-Dub pulled up in K-man's chair and was trying to convince us for a "bite". As we were talking I asked him if he could sing Jesus Loves Me with me and I started to sing. He folded his hands and closed his eyes through the whole song. Brought tears to this Mama's eyes. It sure did. Thank you God for the glimpse of you in his heart!

Have a great weekend everyone and don't forget your Mom's!
