Made it to March!!!

It's hard to believe I finally made it to March. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was finding out we were going to have a baby. Now I'm anxiously awaiting his arrival. I don't want him to come too early, but I sure can't wait to see his cute little face!

We have pretty much everything ready to go besides needing to pick up some diapers. I'd like to get some additional bottles too, but I have enough of the little bottles to get by for now. I kind of want to go to Costco and price their diapers but at this point, I don't think I want to travel an hour for diapers. So looks like I'll be going with the Up & Up brand at Target like I did with Alex. Let's just hope the quality is still the same. They used to be a lot like Pampers, and I loved Pampers for Alex. They just cost so much more than Up & Up. The best part is I can have them auto shipped for a discount AND I also get 5% for using my Redcard so I say WINNING!

I could probably spend this whole post talking about Ethan, but I think I also want to talk about our animals. Sadie has been such a good dog lately. I am so thankful she woke up one day and decided to quit testing our patience. Don't get me wrong she is still a handful but not like she was. I was getting really concerned about how this was going to work with Ethan coming. I think we will be just fine with some baby gates and CLOSE supervision.

Then we have my two lovely guinea pigs Mocha and Snickers. They've been such cute little piggies lately and Snickers is super vocal. It's gotten Sadie's attention, so we have to break her of trying to jump up to see them. I'm worried the cage is going to get knocked down. There are other cage alternatives, but they aren't nearly as nice. We also invested a lot of time/money into building the cage the way we wanted, so it didn't stick out like a sore thumb in the living room. I could move the girls to the playroom, but they are very social animals, and I think they would just be lonely and depressed. So I'll just have to keep working with Sadie not to mess with them.

Well, I think that kind of sums things up for now. I'm sure I'll be super busy come April so my next blog might be later in April. I'll also be starting to talk about my health and getting more physically fit come April. With the weight I've lost during pregnancy and having my diabetic specialist on my side even after Ethan is born I think I have a really good shot of getting back to where I was 3 years ago. That should hopefully get me completely off all diabetic medication as long as I continue to be healthy and stick with the lifestyle changes. In the meantime, keep being your positives selves, and we shall see you in April!

Starting Over

Well, lets see starting over sure could cover a wide range of topics. However, I am going to be focusing this blogging site about my journey to my health and fitness. Man, there are so many haters out there and people who are going to say, "Why is she doing this? Is she just wanting attention? How pathetic!". That's okay, the gene that many of us millennials have says I owe no explanation and should say, "screw it, who cares!". But the compassionate part of me feels I owe most of you an explanation. So here it is... All I am asking for is support and encouragement as I go through this journey. It's not easy and lets face it this isn't my first rodeo.  Now with that out of the way. I want to talk about how I am back in this situation again. Many reasons really with a good majority of them being what most people call excuses. The number one reason is actually medical. In November of 2014, I started having Achilles tendinitis. Yes, this is treatable as lo...

Turning 30

Wow! Has it really been 30 years since I was born? I'm sure to my mother it feels like just yesterday still. I've decided what I really want to do is start a blog and really stick to it. Let's see what this blog looks like by next year. Hopefully, it's not like my last one, and I drop off the face of the earth. 😉 Speaking of my last post... I've still been trying to eat healthier, and I've been going to the gym about once a week. I feel a difference, and it helped me be able to get the top part of the dress tied all the way. That means no alterations for me!!! I've realized that it's really hard to find food without sugar/carbs, so I feel kind of lost in this world of prediabetes. I'm supposed to eat more protein but as I often joke with Bryan I think I might need to be a vegetarian. I couldn't care less about meat. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a nice steak but let's face it... It's nearly impossible to make a delicious steak at...

It's February!

Hey everyone! Totally Jen here and thought it would be a good idea to at least make a new post for February. Time seems to be flying by already. Next thing I know it's going to be January 2020... There's been a lot of emotions for the last few weeks. I'm guessing it's due to my hormones and the weekly shot I have to get to prevent preterm labor. Plus all the stress of a high-risk pregnancy. Poor Bryan! Speaking of pregnancy, so far everything is looking really good. I just got another biophysical profile done today and Ethan passed with flying colors. Next week, we get to see measurements and make sure he is on track. For those of you who are not aware when you have diabetes in pregnancy a high birth weight is common. Last time they checked he was spot on and for the most part, my blood sugars have mostly been in check. So I'm thinking everything should be on track. I've really been biting at the bit to get everything all ready for Ethan but at the same ti...
