Today Sucks Already..

I woke up missing him more than ever..
Our king size bed has never felt more empty before! I can tell Peyton is missing her daddy really bad today too because she hasn't really stopped crying since she woke up. It gets easier right? I guess I can't really complain though because it's not like he's deployed or anything.
So besides Peyton being sad, I clumsily dropped a jar of jam so because I'm a hormonal mess already it just made me more upset. And now I am starting to feel nauseas this morning. I can't wait until the weekend so I can go spend time with my parents! They always seem to cheer me up.
Last night we ended up making the stuffed zucchini. It was delicious! I think next time I am going to stuff it with turkey instead of sausage though. Might make it a little bit healthier..lol
So now I have no clue what to do today. I could definitely use a nap though! Just waiting for Peyton to decide it's morning nap time.
I'm so nervous about tomorrow! I really hope I pass the 3 hour glucose test. Not looking forward to the whole not eating thing in the morning. I'm gonna have a delicious lunch though! And Peyton will get to spend the morning with her Gramma :) I'm so glad we live close enough so she can build a strong relationship with my parents. I wish she could see her other Grandpa more often though!

Welcome!

I decided I would try and keep up with a blog so here we go.
My name is Carlene, and I am married to Ben.

On our Wedding Day

He is an EOD tech in the National Guard.
Together we have a beautiful daughter named Peyton who just turned 1 in June, and another daughter on the way named Emmalyn who is due October 4th.

29 Weeks

Momma and Peyton

Right now it's just me and Peyton at home while Daddy is at work in North Carolina. He just left yesterday and won't really be back until the end of September. Hopefully Emmalyn will stay put until he gets back! It sucks having him gone but I have some good friends and family close by so it could be worse. We just miss him a lot! It's sad watching Peyton look for her daddy in the morning and not find him!
Today Peyton and I are just relaxing at home together while Emmalyn is kicking away. I love feeling her move around. It's my favorite part about pregnancy!
I got a call from my OB's office because I had taken the glucose tolerance test last week and I failed the 1 hour test :( So lucky me gets to take the 3 hour test on Friday. Good thing I have my mom to watch her while I'm at the doctor's office because I don't think she'd do too well being there that long. Also with my blood work they noticed I was vitamin D deficient so hopefully I can get that up.

I'm trying to think of what to have for dinner but it's so hard cooking for Peyton and myself. I saw someone make stuffed zucchini which looked really good so I think we'll have to run to the store after she wakes up from her afternoon nap! Zucchini is our favorite veggie :)
Anyways, I better get to working on the never ending mound of laundry.
