Today is my third day of overloading my system with carbs and sugar in order for me to take the three hour glucose screening test tomorrow. Lets just say it hasn't been hard for me to eat the sugar coated stuff, but man.. the scale does not like me these days!! I am raising my water bottle in a toast to a good day tomorrow!! (clink..or thunk b/c its plastic!)
This next week I will be in Orlando doing some work while my sweet little guy, Drake, stays with his Nonny (grandma Drake) and his Aunt Julie. I once again am humbled by all the sweet people in my family and life who love my little guy.. and my sister is so excited to take him around and show him off! I will only be an hour flight away, but far enough to want to call a couple of times a day, hehehe! Julie is cool, she knows that I trust her.. I just like knowing what he is doing and what he is saying. I miss little things like that because I'm a working mom right now. Maybe one day it won't be like this?! Who knows?!
One last thought.. I wanted to ask for prayers for my sweet husband, Dwayne, who will be taking his final exams while I am in Orlando and he is in Kentucky. He has worked really hard this semester.. only two more semesters and he gets to sit for the CPA exam. I don't know if thats a blessing or ???? He knows its tough..so he is prepared to work really hard! I just love him!
Thanks for reading thus far.. have a great day!

Tuesdays are...
Tuesdays are one of my favorite days of the week. You get over the Monday and you kind of look forward to the rest of the week because you're closer to the end! I know.. dorky..but who cares?!
We are currently in the 27th week of our second pregnancy.. we know we are having a GIRL! We are naming her Mailande Kay.. Mailey for short. We have had nothing but good feedback from friends who love the name. Mailande is for my grandmother on my dad's side, Mailande Wright Drake (not sure if she dropped her maiden name) and Kay is for my mother-in-law's middle name. I have never met another Mailande so this shall be fun! I do, however, have a couple of friends who have little girls who are named Mayleigh, so she won't be alone in the nickname.
As for what I'm doing in my spare time.. I am still working..gasp! I know.. people don't usually see a lot of flight attendants who fly all over and who are knocking on the birthing room door. I am fortunate to be able to take a ground job and be with great people at my job who love being around pregnant women..well, because 90% of the people I work with are, in fact, women! So.. my parents, inlaws, sister, husband, and lovely neighbor Amanda are the people in my little world who also love my little boy, Drake, and help share in the childcare dept. I am not a big fan of Hilary Clinton, however, I think she was correct in the phrase, "It takes a village..." I don't think I could do what I do without my "village."
As for Baby Girl Meenach, or Mailey, she is kicking up a storm and I'm learning that the people who made Tums...ROCK! I'm just puting it out there that I love food, still watcing what I eat.. but man...it comes back to haunt you when you eat the wrong kind of foods?!
I also was recently informed by the Dr.'s office that I have to come back and do another glucose test..the 3-hour one. I'm sure I'm in for loads of fun! Lets hope this one goes better than the last?!
Thats all for now.. I wish I had more fun and enlightning things to share, but not today. I'm sure I will very soon : )
