32 weeks

Ok so remember when I was nervous about 10 weeks? Welp now we are in the single digits. 8 weeks is a little bit scarier than 10 but at the end we will have a little baby boy that is part of me and part of Alberto and that is very exciting to me!

I had the 3 hour glucose tolerance test two weekends ago and it was a very long morning of sitting at the clinic (after 12 hours of fasting, which was tough!). We found out a couple days later that I passed and do not have gestational diabetes! Yay!

We decided to have a last minute Super Bowl 50 party with a few people and it reminded us that we love hosting! However, I did forget that by hosting it means you have to stay for the whole game :-/ and with how tired I have been that was rough. Having guests and making food was a good time though :)

We joined a gym on Monday. It seems like a nice place and I mainly just walk and catch up on my TV shows while Alberto runs or lifts weights. Seems like a good time so far!

Fat Tuesday was celebrated with my first EVER pączki! It was lemon flavored and it was delicious. I'm still not quite sure I get all the hype about this Polish tradition but gladly to take part in consuming sweets any time of the day :)

After work we headed over to the Voskuils' home for their Fat Tuesday Gathering. It was quite a day of delicious food and wonderful people!

Lent started on Wednesday with Ash Wednesday. We had a soup dinner at church followed by a service.

Friday, we went to CityVū Bistro for lunch as they are now closed for remodeling and plan to turn the restaurant into an event center. We had our 6 month dating date there (photo from 2.8.2013), have taken many of our visitors to eat there, and Alberto had breakfast there with his fellas the morning of our wedding so we figured we should go one last time before they change everything. They had our favorite flatbreads on the buffet and it was fabulous!

Alberto has been co-coaching an indoor soccer league team, the Iguanas, for the past couple of months and they had their last couple of games this past weekend so I went with to support. I'm pretty excited for the day when baby La Rosa is out on the field!

Alberto had both PhD interviews this past week and we feel they went well. Now we wait some more to see if we are accepted or wait-listed :)

This is us on Valentine's Day before we went out to dinner.

Ramesses and Padfoot had a great couple days together as well. 

32 week appointment is on Friday so I'll let you know how it goes. We got back late last night from Chicagoland and Alberto is at a school dinner so I'm pretty sure I'll be falling asleep here shortly. Goodnight!
