Tea Party Sprinkle

Recently I had the pleasure of having a tea party sprinkle to celebrate the upcoming birth of my little girl.  I did some research and I found The Lemon Lily Tea Room and Bakery which is located in Oviedo.

 First off, this place is so much fun-it was the full experience.  There were several choices of tea to chose from and depending upon what package you choose you have soup, salad, finger sandwiches, fruit, and dessert.  Our group really got into the experience and we brought our own tea hats which added to the overall theme of the event.   One of the many wonderful things about the tea room is they are very allergy friendly with proper notice and are very accommodating. All of my guests enjoyed the entire experience.  If you looking for a place to have a tea party this is the perfect solution.

31 weeks and counting...

I feel huge and I am only 31 weeks.  Every time I go somewhere there is always one person to point out either how big I am or that baby is coming soon.  It is one of those things that is inevitable.  Fortunately I haven't had any strangers try to touch my belly.  I don't mind people I know doing it but strangers are a totally different story.  Also people have been asking what I am having and when I say girl I get a thank God reaction.  You must be so happy it isn't a boy.  Believe me I am beyond excited we are having a girl but that wasn't why we decided to go again.  I was fully expecting another boy.  I know a lot of people who have tried many times for the opposite sex and they keep having the same gender over and over again.  Happy to have this chance to complete our family.

Happy Birthday to my Youngest Baby

I can't believe 3 years ago my youngest boy was born.  We spent the last few days celebrating his arrival into my life.  If you have been following the blog you are aware that my boy has had speech delay and we had a lot of concerns for him but I am happy to report he has been talking like crazy.  The progress has been pretty astounding especially compared to where we were a couple of months ago.  So this mama is finally breathing a sigh of relief.  Happy Birthday to my little 3 year old!!!  I am looking forward to a year full of even more learning, growing, and fun.  So thankful to have you in my life.  You are my rainbow baby blessing!!!!

My Current Diet

I am on a very strict gestational diet along with blood testing to make sure my sugars are level.  I am basically for an intents and purposes in my normal diet a vegetarian.  I have no problem with eating chicken or fish but I haven't really being doing that.  But since this new diet I have been incorporating chicken and fish.  It has been hard for me to adjust but I will do what it takes to make sure my baby girl is as healthy as possible.  Basically a gestational diet is very low carbs and high in protein with veggies as well.  The protein counteracts any sugars that are accumulated from eating carbs or sugars.  I don't have to worry about the sugar part I am not a sugary type of individual but the salty potato chips have had to take a backseat.  Fortunately, it is only temporary I go back to normal after delivery and my gestational diabetes are always under control with a diet which besides the protein is really no different than my normal everyday diet.  The only thing that gives me comfort or makes me feel better is I have about 8 more weeks of this intense diet.  I have already lost quite a bit of weight which can be a little alarming.  I am looking forward to my little one being on the outside so I can go back to my normal routine.

New School Year

The time has come once again for another year of school to begin.  In my opinion, summer went very quickly.  My boy was excited but a little hesitant this morning to start school.  I think once he gets into the swing of things he will be just fine.  I used to get really anxious and excited every first day of school.  New clothes, new supplies, new teachers, new friends it can be a little overwhelming.  If you have a kiddo starting school today I hope they have a great first day back and a wonderful school year.
