Good News

I found out on Friday that my blood test came back completely normal, so I do NOT have gestational diabetes!! Woohoo! Although, I have decided to be a little more healthy in my eating and exercise choices. I even walked the dog today. We couldn't go too fast or too far because I have some pretty obnoxious ligaments, but it was nice to get out and get moving.
The whole family went to the Farmer's Market this afternoon and we got some nice fresh produce and yummy's to munch on. It will be nice to move closer and shop there more often. Makayla enjoyed looking at all the flowers and produce and learning all the names of the plants. I think the fresh strawberries were the biggest hit for the girls. I packed the camera with me and completely forgot to take pictures, so I will just have to go back!
The house closing will be here before we know it! Monday is the big day! Our apartment is getting smaller and smaller by the day. I am super excited that Josh's step-mom is coming next week to help pack and take care of the girls! That is going to be such a big help! I'm looking forward to this next stage in our lives and getting a step closer to being ready for Sydney's arrival.
Oh, I will close out with a funny Makayla story since it's too much to put on the Family Quotes section. The girls have picked up a few phrases from our blessed Disney movies that we don't allow in our house. One of them being "Oh my Gosh!" Hey, if we can stop the habit now, GREAT! Well, Makayla is very serious about this change and calls out our friends and myself regularly. A couple days ago we were at McDonald's, just getting out of the van as a group of elderly people exit the building. Apparently someone said the forbidden stage and Makayla, from across the parking lot, yells at them, "We don't say, 'Oh my Gosh!'" Needless to say, I was mortified. One of the gentlemen stopped, I think just out of surprise, but we made it into McDonald's without a verbal lashing from any of the elderly people. Oh the joys of parenthood!
