Streect diet

So I went to the OB yesterday and he told me I gained too much weight this month. Two pounds too much.... and last month three pounds too much. Hmmm... he's "not happy with the weight gain." Also, my blood sugar is elevated and he told me, "You need to go on streect diet." (He has an accent) Ugh! What does streect diet involve? He told me, "No sugar, no sweets, no dessert, no bread, no pasta, no fruit, no juice, no carbs. Just meat and vegetables." I have to go back to get more blood work done after a week of the streect diet. Let's just say that so far, the streect diet hasn't been very much fun. I haven't even done it a whole day yet.

I went to the Pasta Connection with Brian for lunch yesterday... yeah... I had a tuna salad. Mostly I just feel like I'm hungry (read: grouchy) and I don't know what to eat. A can of green beans? Eggs for breakfast everyday? Maybe I just need to go to the store. Maybe I don't like meat that much.

Are the polka dots camouflaging the bump?

This is possibly an accurate representation of my life.

House update:

We heard from our Realtor that the house is tied up in a bankruptcy. We kind of knew this before, but officially the house can't be sold for 45 more days when the bankruptcy trustee releases the house from the bankruptcy. At that time, the house will be a short sale and we can proceed with the sale. We already put in an offer. We won't know for at least 45 days if our offer is even accepted. We will have to wait for the bank at that point to accept or reject it. Our loan got approved, so at least that one hurdle down.

Pregnancy update:

The baby is good and I'm as big as a house. I'm getting the, "Are you due any day?" Ummm... no... 3 more months. Brian even said, "How big can that thing get?" (referring to my stomach)

Funny stories:

Tristan has this reading log I have to sign for school. I saw it by the computer and he had written, on the parent signature line, M O M in black magic marker in his little kid handwriting. I'm not sure it's going to fool the teacher.

After a lot of phone calls, faxing and much document gathering.... we officially put in an offer on the house we like. The house is a short-sale (read: long sale) and the family is going through a bankruptcy, so we don't expect to hear for a while.
