Best moment this week:  got the chair and crib all set up in the nursery!

Worst moment this week: having to complete the 3 hour glucose test and finding out I have gestational diabetes, probably the worst part of pregnancy so far. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions. I go to a nutritionist next week to find out more, but I am completely bummed and stressed out.

Best moment this week: Standing 2 feet from JJ Redick!! He was my favorite basketball player in high school. LA played Minnesota while we were up there, so we got tickets to the game. My hubby forced me to go all the way down by where the players were sitting to say HI. Needless to say I was beyond embarrassed, but its definitely something I will never forget! Gotta love the hubs for pushing me outside my comfort zone!
Worst moment this week:  driving all the way to Minneapolis to find out the dresser I have been eyeing was currently out of stock. I almost had a huge meltdown in Ikea.
