Well … I found out yesterday that I ‘flunked’ my glucose test. Now I have to be on a special diet (starting today) over the weekend. I go back on Monday to retake the test only this time I have to hang out at the hospital over the course of the morning to draw blood 4 times, once every hour for three hours. This test will determine if I have gestational diabetes or not. I also got the results of my HCT and HGB test … as usual I’m anemic again so I have to double my dose of iron until the end of the pregnancy.

Chris found out he’s going to Canada in March for concert band. He’s also going to Maui for marching band. There’s a general band booster meeting next week Tuesday to discuss the upcoming trips as well as fundraising. This year, the marching band will be performing at one of UH’s football games. I’m going to try and get a gig for that performance as a chaperone.

I have a busy weekend to look forward to … especially with graduation and chauffeuring Chris all over the place. This diet I’m on came at a stressful time … I’ll be a bitch all weekend, but it’s for a wonderful cause and it’s only three days ( I keep telling myself that). But hey … at least it’s not a restricted diet.

Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend … see ya back here Monday!

I feel loved ... thanks for all the well-wishes!The following is a conversation I had with my 6 year-old niece the other day:

Nicole: “Aunty Nancy, does the baby inside you get scared when you fart?”

Hapa: “what?”

Nicole: “does the baby get scared when you fart?”

Hapa: “I have no idea Nicole … by the way, where’s your dad?”

Ahh … the minds of little ones …
