Still ticking...

Both me and the baby, that is. Sorry to be MIA. I think I'm depressed or something. I don't really feel depressed, I just feel very distracted and can't make myself sit down long enough to enter a blog entry. What is the deal with that? I have all sorts of things to write about...just no energy and what feels like no time to write them. Ugh. I need to pull my head out.

Let's see, quick update....
*I failed my one hour glucose test, changed my diet a bit (cut down to one sweet a day and drank my juice at 10:30am instead of first thing) and stepped up the exercise. Passed the three hour glucose test. So all is well, the doc recommends keeping the changes that I made. I can live with that.
*Baby is moving like crazy lately. That's a good sign...I was worried there for a while. He must be getting so big in there. It seems hard to believe that a 3+ pound and 17+ inch baby is living in my belly. I love this time of bonding and must say that I really am enjoying being pregnant.
*I forgot to mention that I do hate feeling like a beached whale. I'm really not that big, but Devin is right in my ribs and riding very high. Makes bending over very difficult. Also feels like I can't breathe all day long.
*Nursery is completed...I love it, love it, love it. If I ever get the time and energy, I will post pics.
*First baby shower this weekend. I'm so excited. The next shower will be next weekend - it's all just so fun to think about. I'm really feeling pretty excited and optimistic about this baby most of the time.
*I hate blogger...the past three times I've tried to post it's had difficulties and just now came on saying that it may lose unsaved posts because it's having trouble staying connected. Grrrr. I'm thinking of making a new blog page for Devin after he is born. That way I can share with you all and also share with my family. They know nothing about this blog page, not that I say anything that racy. I just like the freedom of posting my thoughts without anyone from the real world reading them. I'm going to make the new blog page on typepad, I think. Any thoughts on that?
*I've been watching the winter olympics....I'm trying to like them. I just don't understand most of the sports. I mean, can you really call Curling a sport? It seems mostly like lots of talking, strategizing, and some luck. I don't know....
*Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. DH and I are going to the Duke basketball game tonight. A life long dream of my husband's - I hope we have fun. We got the tickets for free from his boss, love that! I need to go for now, we have a drive in front of us to get to the game. Hoping to get there in time to walk around and see the campus. Maybe Devin will go there someday...
