A Luau!

These are two of my little friends!!



Some of the girls that I work with!


I've had a rather busy week this week. Work is starting to get busy as we are getting lots of new babies, but it's good as it fills my days up. On Friday we had our end of summer party which was a luau and it was a lot of fun. A lot of our families turned up, especially the older children and they had lots of fun playing games, making things, watching some dancing and eating! I was responsible for the table that made hats and necklaces so I got rather busy!! We had the party catered by this Hawaiian fast food place (I can't remember the name of it) and the food was good!! I had a little so as not to drive my sugar levels up too high and after some socialising I called it a night. By the time I got home I think I was awake for about 15 minutes before crashing for the night!!
Baby wise we are doing fine. My doctors appointment went well and the doctor was happy with my sugar levels. He even gave me a bit of a reprieve and I have two weeks in between appointments! I've been feeling good and eating good so I'm hoping I have finally turned a corner. The baby seems to be moving around quite a bit these days and my stomach is getting bigger although a lot of people are still asking me if I'm losing weight. I think it's the diet plan that is working for me...I'm determined to grow into my pregnancy!! The baby also got very spoiled by her Auntie Paula this week. She sent us a box of the cutest little clothes!! I can't wait to see her in them!
As for John...I'm hoping he's ok. I think I told you last week that he was leaving Bahrain for who knows how long. I haven't spoken to him in a week now and it will be a week in a day or two since I got an email. I'm trying to remain sane and positive about it all, but the pregnant and hormonal side of me is slowly going insane!! This is definitely the hard part of being a military wife!! I'm warning you all now though...I might not be so positive by this time next week if I still haven't heard from him!! (smile)
Next weekend I have a three day weekend to get through. It's Labor Day (I think) and on Saturday I'm going to a scrap booking expo with one of my friends from work. I'm really looking forward to this! We have signed up for a class on getting organised so hopefully once I'm done with that my table won't look like such a disaster when I'm working. I'll be able to tell you all about it next week!
