Surprised

I have the best family! Totally surprised me with a baby shower for Brody. I thought we were just coming over for a football birthday celebration for Steve and Wes but they threw in Brody too. So sweet! Everyone was suppose to bring something Bama (me) or Jacksonville Jaguar (Wes) for Brody. Don't worry Daddy wasn't left out. He got himself a new Bama tshirt and hat, and a fancy Jacksonville jersey and hat. He is ready for Saturdays and Sundays now! Just need to get Aiden a Jaguar shirt now.

I started out the day by dropping Aiden off at Gabby and Grande's so I could go pamper myself. Got my toes and nails done. O.M.G! The BEST pedicure in my entire life! Have you had anyone put this wax stuff on your feet?! I hadn't before today and I was in heaven!! I walked out of there an hour later totally refreshed. In total game day spirit I got my toes a silver/gray and fingers a maroon color. Roll Tide!

Then me and Wes headed over to his parents for the party when I saw the CUTE diaper cake Mary made I was like ehh why is there a diaper cake for Wes and Steve?! lol Surprise! lol Very thoughtful and unexpected. Brody is one blessed boy. Just can't wait for him to get here!!

He got several ADORABLE outfits! Wes' crafty mom made the cutest football onesie and Bama owl! She even replaced the blanket on the lamb to be houndstooth with a crimson cross on it for Meemaw. I can already see Aiden dominating over that football. lol That boy and his balls. I adore the houndstooth cooler bag too. It will be good for family outings! RTR!!

One of Wes' aunt made 2 large hooded towels, which is awesome and def needed (she read my mind)! The ones we got from Aiden's shower (store bought) are so small...and everyone knows we are a big headed and big baby family. lol And we def appreciate all the diapers and wipes!! Like I said before one blessed boy and one blessed family! Love them all for thinking of us! Couldn't have been a more perfect day. Now for 2 more days of relaxation with my favorite guys in the whole world!

We came home before the Bama game because Aiden didn't have a nap and was becoming very clumsy and tired. So we got him to bed then sat down to watch the game.....and tornado warning! STORM STORM STORM cable flickering STORM STORM! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! It finally came back on when we were up 14-0. I was going to be seriously upset if we couldn't watch it considering we were outside all day.

I finished painting the tree limbs last night. Just need to add the coat of poly and you can mark that project done! What do you think....close to the inspiration? I wanted more of the wood to show through, so I didn't paint on as many rings.

Organization 2

Project 2 the Living Room.

Before
Let's face it this is how it looks every Sunday morning. After Tornado Aiden comes through on Saturday and adventures off to Gabby and Grande's it's saved till Sunday mornings. Minus the Anywhere Chair inserts (washing the cover). It's called a LIVING room for a reason right?! lol So just don't come to my house on Sunday mornings.

After

Really didn't do a whole lot of decluttering. Removed and moved around a few things from the top shelfs. Aiden's shelves bottom 3 on each side lol will be decluttered when we have our annual toy purging after Christmas.

I had previously purged all the cabinet drawers when we were moving around furniture before we got our extra couch. They house thousands of instruction manuals, endless tech equipment, batteries, cords, chargers, movies, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------
This weekend is jam packed with the Bama game, celebrating Wes' birthday, and hopefully a trip to the Zoo. I really would like to finish Aiden's room too. I'm about 90% done. Dreading the kitchen, but it has to get done eventually....

Check them out! Love! Very Boy! lol

 

Failed

So I failed my 3 hour glucose test! NOOO! But at least I didn't fail as bad as I did with Aiden I just remember being WAY over with him. This time my 2hr mark was 160 needs to be below 154, and my 3hr mark was 150 needs to be below 140. Ugh! So what does this mean?

I have to record what I eat and check my blood sugar 4 times a day. My poor fingers! My doc is going to monitor my levels and if they are crazy high I will be put on insulin shots. DEF don't want this!!

Yesterday evening I checked my levels after dinner. 118. This morning 82. Normal levels. So why the heck do I do so bad during the tests?!?! I seriously think my body goes into shock and can't break down the large amount of sugar I just ingested. Very frustrating.

And this also means I get hit with more expenses! UGH!! I seriously want to know why this stuff is SO expensive?!?! Thank goodness I still kept my machine and needles from Aiden, but I had to get some more test strips. How much for 12 day supply??? $51 yes so $127 a month just for strips! Does not include if I need more needles. I know it's for the safety of myself and Brody, but I think anyone would have a mini stroke hearing that...

What else does this mean?! I get to do another glucose 3 hour test after I have Brody too! YAH!! Not! I passed it last time with Aiden so hopefully I will do the same. Yesterday was a bad news day for me. :-(
