Christmas is by far my favorite holiday. I love Christmas music, Christmas decorations, getting together with family, celebrating the birth of our Savior, wearing Christmas clothes, etc. I have to admit that I like Christmas music so much that there have been a few CD's (like M.W. Smith's) that some years I have listened to them year round. I can't wear my Christmas vests and sweaters this year, but I have worn my Christmas earrings. I purchased several Christmas dresses for Nadia. Some I got on the clearance racks many months ago, and a couple of them I bought at yard sales this summer. The dress she wore yesterday is size 2T. I can't believe she can wear that size already! I love the hat that came with the dress. Isn't she SOOO cute? In light of the snow on Saturday we had her wear her snowman pjs that night. I took the pictures yesterday morning of her in the blue chair because it was the first day that she climbed up into this chair all by herself - such a big girl! This pair of pjs is one that Ian can also wear someday, and I paid less than $2 for it. :-)
I was going to try another MOPS group that is closer to home, which just started a few months ago, this morning. However I think it's best I just stay home until it's time to go to school this afternoon. This is the last week of classes, and I really would like to be able to teach tonight, Tuesday night, and Thursday night. I stayed at home all day on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday we went to Walmart. I was fine while we ate lunch and while I got my haircut, but once I started walking around the store, the contractions started up again. Yesterday I went to church in the morning. I sat on the front pew and waited until right before the choir sang to go up into the choir loft so that I could sit through all the congregational singing. Yesterday evening I went to CVS and the grocery store. I figured it was better to do it while Paul was home so that I didn't need to bring Nadia (and lift her in and out of the cart). Well even that proved to be too much. The contractions were so bad that I went to bed before 8pm. I think I need to stay off my feet as much as possible or Ian is going to be coming. I guess that means Paul is going to need to start doing our grocery shopping? I am hoping Ian won't be born until early January, but at the very minimum I hope he waits another 11 days so that I can wrap up the fall semester before he arrives.
Wednesday and Thursday I had all good blood sugar levels, but unforunately that hasn't been the case the last few days. Friday I did fine until the reading after dinner. I had this dish that Nadia and I both like that contains 1 egg, 1 can of creamed corn, and 3/4 cup of flour. I won't eat that again until after I give birth. Saturday my readings were fine except for after lunch at McD's where I had a fish filet, water, and some of the fries from Nadia's happy meal. Yesterday I had two high readings. Ugh. Hopefully I can get back on track today.
