I have had a great time so far in South Carolina! It has been so nice seeing my family and a couple of my friends. The baby shower was a lot of fun, and non traditional again. It was originally going to be all girls, but it ended up being for everyone. It was great! I was able to eat a little bit of cake, and my numbers were still good! We got a lot of beautiful and cute things, plus $600 in gift cards and cash. Unbelievable. I am still a little shell shocked. I can't wait to share photos of the dress and blanket my aunt made. They are unreal. She is incredibly gifted in crafts, and the gifts she made for our little girl are exquisite. Even the cake she made was gorgeous! I'll have to post photos of the decorations on the cake, they were great!

Anyway, things are going really well, and I feel great! Still keeping up with my diet and taking my blood sugar levels. I was not sure if I was going to do a good job of it, being out of my element and routine. But, I'm proud of myself!

I am here for a couple more days, and will just enjoy my family. We are planning to go to a couple stores and really look at nursery furniture. My mother is buying it, and will have it shipped directly to us, so this is our chance to shop together and for me to get my hands on the items to see what I really like! I'm leaning more towards white furniture as opposed to light wood...but we'll see!
