The First of (Hopefully) Many

     Welp, I finally caved in and am starting a blog. I resisted for a long time because as much as I love reading other's blogs, I don't really feel like I have a lot to share or offer about my life. Also, I am horrible at writing in my journal so I kinda equate that to I will probably be horrible at updating this thing. But, as I am starting a new phase in my life and parents/grandparents/friends will probably want to know what is going on in my life, I felt like I should start one. Also, I have a couple of sister-in-laws who were really hinting that I should start one. So here I am.
     Nick and I are doing great this summer. I'm off at school and thoroughly enjoying my time off relaxing and reading as I prepare for this new baby. Nick is busy with his O-Chem classes but is really looking forward to the day they are over and he is done with his degree! He will finish in August, just in time for our little one to come in September. Or October. At our last two ultrasounds our little one is measuring two weeks behind what she should be at so our due date might be pushed back. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday to figure things out. Also, last week I went in for my glucose test and found out that I have gestational diabetes. I guess that's what you get when diabetes is so prevalent in your family. I was pretty beat up about it when I found out but after some research and perspective, I'm feeling better about it. I just have to be more careful about what I put into my body and get more exercise. Not horrible habits to get into, right?
     So that's our life in a nutshell at the moment. We're not too exciting of people but that's our life. Hopefully I will be better at updating this than writing in my journal. Oh and since I promised some people here is a picture of me at 27/25 weeks (depending on what my due date turns out to be). Enjoy!
