apparently, there is no medical billing code for eating real food

is it just me, or does my fresh-squeezed pink grapefruit juice look like pepto-bismol? i’m going with a resounding yes.

this was part of my breakfast this morning. no, my breakfast doesn’t always look like that, but it was the protocol for the postprandial one-hour glucose study. (how’s that for a mouthful?!) my favourite part of the morning was how incredibly confused the lab was about my eating real food instead of drinking glucola. apparently there isn’t a proper medical billing code for eating real food.

that just makes me laugh.

Thanks, friends!

tonight has been a little sleepy. i’m tired. it’s a natural part of being in the third trimester, i know, but i sure wish i had more energy.Β  oh well, ‘they’ tell me i will only get more and more tired as time goes on, with a tiny baby paying no attention to the difference between night and day. my dear mother, though, was so encouraging today when we were talking on the phone.Β  she told me how the late night feedings were actually quiet and peaceful, and not chaotic at all.

i can’t wait to experience the wonder of holding out little girl in my arms, and actually seeing her precious face. i thank God every day for this amazing miracle. just 9 more weeks now until my due date.

crocheted vintage sweater dress for baby [and weekly photo roundup]

i was recently given a bunch of yarn scraps which originally belonged to my husband’s great-grandma. during her life, she crocheted countless items for my husband and his siblings, so i wanted to make something for our baby — who would have been her first great great grandchild — out of these bits of yarn.
