The Princess Passes Her Test....

(After being told that *The Princess Passes...* made a reader think she had died, I added *Her Test* to avoid further confusion.  I am sorry if it caused anyone distress to find out the Princess had NOT died!  Love ya!)

 I told you the Princess had to be tested for gestational diabetes, which is normal in many women.  In fact, her mother had it when she was pregnant with her.  She failed the one hour test but aced the three hour test she took on Tuesday.  Phew!  She wasn't looking forward to pricking her finger six times a day.  It was bad enough what she went through with the three hour test.  Anyway, she's fine; the baby is fine.  It's all fine.  **Grin**

My friend, Carol, is obviously a frustrated non-grandma.  She *adopted* Chewlee and the new baby as their *stand-in* grandma since she has no grandchildren of her own and never will.  When she found out about the Princess' shower, she went nuts!  I swear!  She ordered a bunch of things from the Princess' registry and had them shipped here.  OMG!  I almost died when they started coming.  I promised to bag/wrap them for her and give them to the Princess at her shower.  THEN...she tells me she has 8 outfits for the baby but has four more coming before she can send them on to me.  **THUD**  This woman is such a sweetheart.  I'm just glad they are *comfortable* and it isn't a drain on their finances.  They own five condos in Hawaii that are rentals I discovered.  I can't even imagine owning ONE!  I know how pricey they are.  

But she is apparently having fun looking at all the cute little things they didn't have when her boys were little.  When they come to her house, she tells me how adorable she thinks they are when she can touch and feel them.  I just wish she could be there but the Beast said he will take pictures of the Princess when she is opening everything Carol sent so we can send them to her.  It may not be as good but it's better than nothing.

Chewlee has come to terms with having both a new baby in the house and...*sigh*...a BOY!  She so wanted a little sister.  I think, however, that she imagined things being very different than it will be.  BUT...she started telling her mother all the things she would do to help with the new baby.  She said she would even change the baby's diaper as long as it wasn't poopy.  LOL!  From the way she talks, it's almost like she thinks in a couple months, the baby will want to go outside to play.  What a rude awakening she will have.  But she will learn.

Cool again today but we did get up to 62 degrees as our high.  It didn't last long and the wind was brisk and cold.  They are saying thunderstorms late tonight (how late, no one said!).  It's already late as I type this.  Tomorrow our high will only be in the 50's and more rain on Saturday, too.  Not a great start to the weekend.  Oh well!  C'est la vie!  You have to take the bad with the  good, I guess.

I love you all.  Have a great weekend.  Hope you get better weather than you think.  ***Hugs***
