I kicked off the month by failing the 3 hour glucose test and being diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It wrecked my world for a little while there until I got the hang of it and gained some confidence in what was going on. The first finger prick was terrifying, but it turns out you get used to it really quick.
The one good thing about it was all of the extra ultrasounds I got.
My birthday happened.
I had a girls' night with my closest friends
Megan got me this cute little basket complete with sugar free ice cream because diabetes..
Ayancy surprised me with a shirt so I could match the other girls.
Tana got me a candle and some self care supplies like face masks and a scrub.
Megan also made THE BEST cheesecake for my birthday cake.
Taylor gave me a gift card to Sunnyside Gardens- a local nursery, and it was literally the perfect gift because he knew I wanted trees for the yard but I would want to pick them out.
Easter happened!
A little Instagram versus reality..
There wasn't any church services this year because of Covid, but I couldn't resist dressing up the kids in the matching outfits I had ordered.
The day before Easter we dyed eggs with the kids.
It actually went pretty well, and I don't think any dye was even spilled.
The Easter bunny came!
Hudson asked for those "twin pups" for months.
It was really fun for him to finally get what he wanted so badly.
The Easter bunny hid eggs in the basement for the kids to find because it was too cold to do it outside. Avery was very indifferent to the whole thing.
I made us a nice dinner made up of a roast, veggies, green bean casserole, funeral potatoes, and rolls. Taylor's parents came up for a few hours and also ate dinner with us while they were here.
Hudson had to get put under to have some dental work done.
We've been told since his first dentist appointment that his teeth are really close together, and it basically was just a matter of time until cavities in between his teeth got bad enough.
Taylor stayed home with Ella and Avery while I took him in.
The poor kid was so bored waiting to be taken back that he actually fell asleep on me.
Overall, everything went well.
He is pretty proud to be the owner of 6 shiny silver teeth.
Ella was busy fixing a tractor one day.
My friends helped me dye my eyelashes!
I loved the look and the difference it made to my blonde eye lashes.
For my birthday my parents gave me money to finish the accent wall in our master bedroom.
It was such a fun, relatively easy project, and it totally transformed our bedroom.
Taylor stepped in to paint Ella's nails when I took too long in the shower.
