I know I was MIA this week, but it has been for a really great reason! My roommate from when I studied abroad in Amsterdam stayed with us. I hadn't seen her since I was pregnant with Mel and despite being a world traveler, (seriously, she was not in our room the first 2 weeks I was there because she was visiting 9 countries around Eastern Europe) she had never been to NYC.
It was a WONDERFUL week! Mel instantly adored her and started to call her "Elmo" for some reason, even though she had never seen Sesame Street and knows nothing about Elmo. Roommate's name is Tiiu, so its not even close lol. It was great help over Thanksgiving to have an extra pair of hands and I said to DH that this is the feeling that is the closest I imagine to having a sister. We spent a lot of time giggling and just hanging out and catching up. I cannot describe how happy I am that she was here and even though she is only gone a few hours, I miss her horribly.
In other news, pacifier weaning was a breeze for us, so there is hope for you ladies who have yet to go through with it! Melody has been talking up a storm since the pacifier is gone and I am floored by her every single day. Not that I wasn't before, but I am really being impressed.
Pregnancy-wise I'm doing good! My insulin pump is awesome and my numbers have been in control for the most part and I'm proud. We had our follow-up A/S (first he was stubborn and in a bad position so we had to do a follow up) and all looks well, but I'll still be going for a fetal echo which is the norm in my OB's practice for all GD/Diabetic women. Did it last time, so this time it was no surprise. I finally have a pregnant belly and my body hates me, but I'm feeling more and more kicks which is fun!
Next weekend DH, Mel and I head to DC. Still hoping mala can meet up and anyone else in the DC area!
Anyway, thats all! Just wanted to say hi and let you guys know what has been going on around here!
