I will start with last saturday. I got up early to head to Quest diagnostics to get my glucose test taken care of before my next Baby Bruce appointment which is Thursday. I will know then if I passed, or I need to go for the 3 hour test. I am hoping I passed and can move on to whatever is next. Before drinking the orange sugary drink the nurse told me what to expect: nausea, migraine, and my little girl to do summer salts! Good news was the only side effect that happened was our little girl doing acrobatics.

After my test I took care of a few errands and then enjoyed an evening with my friend Becki. We at dinner at my house and hung out like old times. Sunday I slept in and took my time getting ready. Aunt Linda picked me up at 11:45 and we were off to see the Lion King at the Hippodrome! It was such an amazing show, I can't begin to describe how good the show was. I enjoyed all the songs and was amazed by the costumes. Hands down best show I have ever seen! After the show we had dinner at G&M and had one of Baltimore's best crab cakes. Then it was time to go home and get ready for my first full week of work.

Getting up early is a little hard but it feels good to be getting back into a routine, by the end of the day I feel pretty tired. Monday night I did some paperwork relating to Jon, and also finished up some work that needed to get done for the next day. Tuesday was another busy day but fun. Went to work then Jen and Dave made dinner at my house before we all went to a chorus concert at Linton Springs that Grace was singing in. It was good to see everyone and hear Grace sing. After the concert I stopped by Mrs. Sue and Richards to drop a paper off and visited with them for a little while. I saw their tree which is much smaller than their normal tree but still very beautiful! It was nice to see they decided to have a tree this year.

Wednesday morning my body was getting tired and didn't want to get out of bed. I put in another full day of work and then had dinner with Taryn at Qdoba which was very yummy! Thursday after work Mom mom and Pop pop Bruce took me to Pizza Hut where we met Seth. We all came back to my house and visited before they went home. About 10 minutes after mom mom and pop pop left the door bell rang, I looked out the peephole and no one was there. I opened the door to find 2 gifts sitting on my step. I brought them inside and opened them. Attached to the gifts were two letters, both addressed to me but one was about me and one was about Baby Bruce. However neither letter was signed, I hope whoever left them has a link to this blog so they read this thank you. I really appreciate everything that was in the gifts, I LOVED the piggy bank for Baby Bruce it is adorable. The gift cards are greatly appreciated and will come in very handy. Thank you again for the generous gifts! This was such an exciting way to end my thursday. Friday was finally here I spent the evening with my mom and my sister Erika, before heading home I decided I wanted ice cream :) Thank god for google maps when I decide I want ice cream. This happened last friday too, all of a sudden I was craving ice cream. I found a Baskin Robbins 4 minutes away…found it! After we ordered and paid for our ice cream, the man behind the counter asked if I liked cake bites, I had never had them before I told him. He then reached in the cooler and gave me a free cake bite! This totally made my night, the cake bite was delicious! It went great with my mint chocolate chip ice cream :)

I decided to turn my alarm off in hope to sleep in this Saturday. It worked except Fisher decided he wanted to wake up and scratch my bed at 5:30am…He got fed and locked in the bathroom :/ I slept till 10am this morning! It felt so good to sleep, glad my internal clock got the memo not to wake me up. The rest of the day I spent with Jen, we got pedicures, Panera, and then started/finished my Christmas shopping. On our way home I got a call from Jon's Aunt Lauren so I thought, when I said hello it was a guys voice…Daniel! He was calling to invite me to dinner at Cobblestone. I met them for dinner and was able to see Daniel, Karen, Mallory, Aunt Lauren, and Uncle Russ! After dinner I came home and finished my Christmas cards, typed this blog, and now it's time for bed.

Baby Bruce is doing great, it feels like I am growing by the minute which I hear is a good thing. She is very active and other people are now starting to feel her kick. I have an appointment this Thursday to check her progress.

I hope everyone has a good week :)
