So here's the thing.

My craving this pregnancy...donuts.  

ALL THE TIME.  

I don't just want them. I truly think I NEED them.  Today I had to stop and get gas on my way to a class where I would IN NO WAY be burning those donut calories off...but I bought three donuts.  THREE.  I ate every single one too before I even walked into class. (I had visions that I would bring 1 or 2 to class with me to munch on but no luck)

I then felt super proud of myself for eating chicken, carrots, and broccoli for lunch (which was quite delicious, actually, for hospital food). 

But my pride stopped there as I went grocery shopping when the class ended and bought myself a whole container of donut holes (I told myself Noah and I could have them as a special breakfast snack together- but who am I kidding? I don't let that kid have that much sugar- just his mama) 

So I'm a little concerned.  As the doctor gave me my lab slip yesterday morning for my glucose test.  I legitimately fear that this may not go well for me.  I mean the sweets I have been craving are just out of control.  With Noah I craved cupcakes..my coworkers could attest to that...LOTS of cupcakes..but that was kinda it on the sweets front.  This time..if it's sweet I want it.  (Salty too...I also bought chips and queso today at the store) 

I so wish I had the desire or the self control to be one of those pregnant women who really did only eat organic foods and took such great care of herself. 

Sweet baby inside of me..Mama is sorry.  Please don't come out craving donuts.  PLEASE. 

All this to say...Leah Gibson, your blog inspired me.  I told Brad I'm interested in trying to look into this whole gluten/wheat thing after the baby comes.  Let's be real here..it's not happening while I'm pregnant...I'm find it a victory to get a relatively healthy and quick meal on the table every night..so I'm not going to start any new crazy trend.  But please keep blogging about your adventures in this..I'm kinda interested in learning more, and I'm really just not a researcher.

In other news..Noah is hilarious. All the time.  That boy cracks me up.  I LOVE it.  He truly is the best gift we have EVER been blessed with in our life.  I find myself getting tearful sometimes just thinking of how life is going to change for us when he's not our only kiddo anymore.  But the kid is awesome.

Also, I go back and forth every day it seems on whether I think Duey is a boy or girl.  This week I'm back to boy..but as I was looking at baby girl onesies today I almost cried (not an exaggeration I cry easily when pregnant) and got all silly over the fact that this could be a girl.  Praise the Lord, my fears are beginning to subside over the girl thing. Laura S. I would love to get your email to see how you are handling all this with your 2 almost 3 precious little ladies- I've been meaning to comment after yours and keep forgetting! 

That's it for now.  Relaxing now after a fun night of candy making for the neighbors and coworkers with the sweet hubs.  He rocks.  Have a great week!
