Let it Snow...Let it Snow!

I can't believe that I am writing those words in NOVEMBER! Where I come from in Alabama, you don't see snow in November (now granted, we have seen snow in April...gotta wonder!) but hardly ever in November. We sometimes are wearing shorts at Thanksgiving. Not our heaviest jacket, long johns, scarves, hats and mittens. But that is life here in our part of the world! Yesterday I was enjoying a little peace and quiet while Sadie was sleeping and I look out the window as I ponder a thought (don't ask me what thought, who knows!) and I see white on the roof tops, I thought what in the world?? I had no idea it might snow! And so I quickly went to weather.com and there you have it, snow fall for the next 2 days! We accumulated 3 inches, which isn't very much around here but for us Alabama folks it would have made the whole city shut down :) It was beautiful to look at but honestly I am not a fan of having to get out in it. Give me some hot chocolate and a warm home and dreamily looking out the window. But such is life, can't always have what you would like, especially dreamily looking out the window when your 17 month old is vying for your attention.

Oh and I wanted to add, I wanted to take pictures for you all of Sadie bundled up ready to head out with Clark, but for some reason she is at this stage when she sees the camera come out she only wants to see her picture on the other side..the joys of a digital camera! She won't stand still and let me take a picture of her cute little self...so for now I will have to leave that to your imaginations.....

Update...

Here is our girl, not on Halloween albeit, but a picture of her dressed up all the same! We didn't really celebrate Halloween this year, Sadie is still too young to know how much fun it is to get dressed up and receive candy :) And of course there is no Fall Festivals to go to around these parts. So, my friend and I decided that we would at least put some sort of costume on our girls and at least take a few pictures to document the occasion :) So, my mom sent this to Sadie back in the summer and I figured it could serve the purpose of a costume! And so here you have it, Sadie..all dressed up :)
I went to the doctor today and got all of the information on how to control this gestational diabetes. I even got my glucometer so I can now have the pleasure of sticking myself 4 times a day! ;) I think once I get it down it shouldn't be that hard. I just don't know if I can eat as much as I am supposed to. We shall see...Jackson is starting to measure a little bigger than what he should be at 30 weeks, so it will be interesting to see if that continues to creep up. But other than that, I had a good visit, but I am tired tonight. It was a 2 hour ride up there and a 2 hour ride back. I sure miss the days when it only took 15 minutes to go and see my OB.
Clark had a good time with Sadie while I was gone though. I am glad that they could have that time together. Sadie loves her daddy! The first thing she said this morning when she woke up, "Daddy??" It was precious!
Well...that's all from me tonight, just wanted to put this picture on, she is precious, don't you think?

Happenings in our House

So, it's been a while...things have been busy around here! Last week we went to the capitol city to go to the doctor. It was time for me to have my glucose test. I pretty much knew that I wouldn't pass the one hour test because I didn't pass it with Sadie. And of course, I didn't. But this time it was higher, much higher than last time. So, I had to come back the next morning for the 3 hour test. Did I mention how much I hate drinking the glucose stuff? Well, I do. I almost gagged..I have to get it down fast enough without thinking about it..well, anyway, I took the 3 hour test and didn't pass it either..wasn't expecting that one! So..gestational diabetes it is...no fun at all! I am headed back to the doctor on Thursday and get my glucometer and see exactly what I can eat. I have already been trying to stay strictly to a diet and boy is it hard! I LOVE sweets so this is a new adjustment for me, but I am thankful that Father is giving me will power to get through it because I hardly ever have will power at all! So. keep praying...for the health of me and sweet little Jackson!
Clark had to head to the capitol city of our country last week. It's crazy that he had to fly somewhere just to see a dentist :) But he did, and PTL all is well with his 4 teeth (his fillings had popped out) and he is doing great!! Sadie and I had some good girl time and we were both so ready for daddy to be home.
So, we are getting down to the wire, only 4 1/2 weeks left until we head out of country. I can not believe how quickly this pregnancy is going, I am already 30 weeks pregnant and we leave in a month to prepare for Jackson's birth. It seems like yesterday I was announcing the newest family member.
Well, I should go for now, Sadie is down for the night and Clark and I are going to relax and spend time together...gotta get all of this time in before the little bit makes his way into the world ...
