I'm a few days late, I know... but it's fitting for the kind of day I had on Valentine's... First of all, I'm not the smartest most time-efficient person (keep that in mind) and I decided that when I FAILED my initial glucose test, I would be really good and get the 3 hour test out of the way within the same week! (For some reason, this pregnancy doesn't agree with that glucose drink... it makes me extremely ill, and this didn't happen with Rowan, so ???) What was I thinking going in for that test on Valentine's DAY? And that I would, in fact, get out of there in 3 hours (try 4)... which made me very late for an appointment? I don't know.... but, enduring this test was complete misery. Not only did I get drastically ill, felt like throwing up, passing out and then stabbing all the lab people with needles, but it ruined my entire day! Not to mention that the lab was crazy busy, so sitting there with loud smelly people while fighting nausea for 4 hours wasn't what I thought I'd be in for. So, by going late to my appointment, I was 30 mintues late picking up Rowan (Mark went to the Temple with the youth to do baptisms) from daycare and my sweet daycare lady was rushing to make it to a dinner reservation by 6!!! So, I came home feeling just awful that I'd made her late and she was so sweet to me despite it. All the while, I still felt so nauseous, dizzy, fuzzy brained, I could hardly think clearly. So, I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that I do not have Gestational Diabetes...
And now for the GOOD news!!! Friday I came home from work and found the most beautiful bouquet of flowers on my doorstep from my HONEY and him telling me he'd already called a babysitter and that we were going out to celebrate, yummy dinner together and a movie!! Not to mention I got a very generous giftcard to spend on anything I wanted!!!! I cried. I felt so blessed to have such a man in my life who cared so much about me and truly knew me and always met my needs with such devotion. Thank you, honey, for making my Day After Valentine's so amazing!
PS. It's Sunday the 17th (3 days after Valentine's) and I just frosted my Valentine's heart cookies... This just tells you how behind I am... Oh, well! They are really yummy (thanks, Martha), and I'm going to give them to my Visiting Teachees anyway, despite being so late - it's the love MONTH after all, right?

Those cookies look delicious!
Oh I feel your pain with the glucose test...I had to do that with Nolan and it was HORRIBLE. I didn't pass either test so I had to eat NO SUGAR what-so-ever. (I really don't know why they make that second test so hard) Luckily, this time I passed the first time. Glad your Valentine's was better later on :)
Glad that you got a day after celebration and the cookies do look yummy!
I also feel your pain with the glucose test. I was sick already with grace, and when I got to the clinic, I was feeling pretty sick. After the first draw, i couldn't hold in that lemon lime drink any longer, and I threw up bright green slime all over this white suede chair I was sitting in, soaking the lady next to me, along with myself. (I have gaments that are still lime green stained... I can't get them clean.) I had to drive home in my soaking wet/green clothes, trying not to throw up agian. It was winter and cold. And, Because I couldn't keep it down, they made me come back again the next day to do it again. (The chair was gone, and all the other nice chairs were covered up with chair covers.) Ugh.
And, to top that off, I ended up passing the test. Go figure...
Man, I hope you don't have gestational diabetes either! You should start submitting your photos in contests or something because they are all so artistic! P.S the roses are gorgeous!
Welcome to being pregnant with a girl. Being pregnant with Eden made me extra nauseated too. Remember when we used to draw blood on our poor OB patients for that dumb test? I will keep my fingers crossed that the results come back ok. Hang in there, girl.
