Summer is half over already?

I can't believe how fast the summer is going by, which confirms my theory that this pregnancy will go by fast...I think I already discussed that. But when it was July 25, Christmas in July, the other day I realized, wow still 6 months until Christmas???? That seems really far away when I think of it that way. One day at a time, right?

So things are good here. Baby bump is definitely getting bigger. More pregnancy like. I've thought I felt a couple little flutters and even a kick but it seems early. So who knows. I like to think it is because I didn't get the doppler this time so I'm going crazy between doctor visits. It seems like such a long time to know that everything is ok in there. My next visit is August 7th. Only another week. I also think I'm going to start monitoring my blood sugar. The doctor told me there is a chance I won't have gestational diabetes again this time, but I highly doubt it. I took a test after dinner tonight and I was fine, but didn't really have a lot of carbs. It was actually a pretty decent meal for me. But I feel like in the late afternoons I'm starting to feel really sick, could just be the heat and pregnancy in general but I'm wondering if it's my blood sugar levels going wacky already. They say that GD shouldn't kick in until 24-26 weeks...but who knows.

We have been pretty busy, and seem to be having a good week. Molly was having some serious biting issues over the past couple weeks but I started putting her immediately into time out in her crib whenever she did it. I try not to use the crib as time out, but she generally won't stay in time out and runs away laughing at me. So into the crib she goes and I think she may finally get the idea that it isn't acceptable. I've also tried the "Mommy Likes Kisses" Theory so I get a lot of those now too.

On Thursday I leave for my wine convention in Boston for 3 nights...yikes! I'm really excited, but nervous and kind of sad to be leaving John and Molly for that long. John and I haven't been apart that long since I moved in here...crazy I know, but we've never had a reason to be apart for that long. They will have fun though and it will be a much needed break for me.

Here are a couple pictures John took of Molly at dinner tonight. She thinks she's so cute :). And another one below from a visit over at the Hannan's a while ago, but I never got around to posting it.
