Life

I think that each pregnancy I have the third trimester always brings its own set of challenges. The last couple weeks have been a little crazy...I did a second wedding cake and it is probably the worst cake I have done. The client wanted all the layers real with fondant icing. I told her I didn't recommend it because the fondant I use tastes disgusting. Anyway, she wanted it fondant and all real cake. The third layer of cake decided to fall apart the morning I went to drop it off. Never has that happened before. Also that day was my cousin's funeral it has been kind of a dozee. He and I are only a couple days apart in age, but he and I weren't very close. He committed suicide almost two weeks ago. It has been really sad because his dad was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver about 13 years ago and ever since then my cousin just hasn't been happy. It was really good to see some of my family I haven't seen in a while. The funeral was really nice, but different. People try to explain suicide and death, but it is what it is. I just feel for his family. He left behind his wife, no children.

On a more positive note I have had another appointment and all is well. No gestational diabetes, no anemia...everything looks good. He has started to drop and put more pressure on my joint so I have been in more pain and I am hoping to still try to enjoy these next few weeks with Brinley and Shad before he comes. Christmas is coming up so quickly and I am still trying to get things together. One thing that Shad and I have really enjoyed about this year is not feeling like we have to please anyone with gifts. I don't know how else to really describe it. The gifts we are giving people this year are different and it has made Christmas a lot more special. We hope that you all have very Merry Christmas!!!!
