Yes, I am 28 weeks pregnant however I can't eat everything I want to eat.... As some of you know from my past post, I have developed gestational diabetes. I've visited a diabetes educator early this week and also met with a dietitian. I have been poking my finger 4 times a day 2 hrs after my meal time. Only if my results are under certain blood sugar number, I am allowed to have some snack which contain 15 - 30g of carbohydrate. During a regular meal time(lunch & dinner), I am allowed to have up to 60g of carbohydrate(which is about 4 slices of bread). Yes, I can have a lot of meats and other non-carbohydrate food but I also have to make sure my calorie intake. This diet is so hard. My measuring cup has became my best friend. Now I measure everything I drink or eat. I just can't wait for this baby to born soon! Wish me luck. Thanks!

As many of you know, I run a few websites including this one from my dedicated server. It allows me to have my own domain name and not someone else like blogspot.com or something else. Occasionally, I shop around the various web hosts providers to see if I can find a cheaper price. I found a good site that does comparisons and reviews of the various vendors called web hosting geek's blog. This web hosting blog is great because I know I will pick a high quality provider instead of some cheap provider that goes down all the time. Believe me I have some bad experience in the past for not researching on web hosting providers before I made my purchase. It is a very good idea to use web hosting blog to read up on reviews and research to protect yourself/business. In addition, web hosting blog site has tons of beneficial articles that you can read as well. If you are in need of a new hosting provider, check out web hosting geek's blog to find a cheap and reliable web hosting provider for your growing business. I am sure that you can learn many things about web hosting as well as other topics that are related to web hosting.

Since I found out about having gestational diabetes on Friday, I have been careful about what I eat during my meal time. This is tough. I've done this diet while I was pregnant with my first child but it is still hard for me to follow. I am only allowed to have about 30g of carb (it is about 2 slices of bread) every time I eat. I can have a lot of meat since it does not contain any carb but I still need to make sure count the calories. I also have to eat stuff that high in iron as well due to anemia. This pregnancy is really tough on me. At least I am some what recovering from my anemia but still not at the normal level. Wish me luck that I can stick with this routine of watching my diet for the next 3 month. Thanks!

The holiday season is approaching and my husband & I have been thinking about getting ready to purchase a Christmas gift for our daughter. My daughter has been asking for a LeapFrog Leapster L-Max for Christmas, which is around $99.99. However, our budget is very tight this year for buying gifts so it will be hard for us to spend that kind of money in just one purchase in one day. I really do not want to disappoint my daughter for this Christmas. She has been such a good girl in helping me with my pregnancy. I want to reward her for things she has done to help me. Just as I was thinking about on how to pay for LeapFrog Leapster L-Max, I saw a commercial on TV and found out that Kmart offers a Kmart Lay-Away program. This is actually a very good solution to purchase a LeapFrog Leapster L-Max for my daughter. I visited its website to read more about it and found out that I can make bi-weekly payment. This is exactly what I need right now. Now I do not have to worry about making one big payment! I can't wait to go over to Kmart near us this weekend to put a LeapFrog Leapster L-Max on lay-away. I also can't wait to see my daughter's smile on Christmas day to get this gift. If you are on a tight budget like myself this holiday season, I suggest you to take advantable of Kmart Lay-Away program!

I went to my 28 weeks diabetes screening test last Tuesday. Well, I got a phone call early this morning from my Doctor with my result. I basically failed my glucose test!!!! Not again!!!!!! I had gestational diabetes with my first daughter and I was hoping that I do not get one this time. I am so upset. I was right at the border line, too. Now I have to go through gestational diabetes education and change my diet. I know the routine but my doctor wants me to get educated about it again to refresh my memory. This pregnancy has been really tough. Now I have anemia, placenta previa and gestational diabetes. I hope that problems stop here. I can't handle anymore complications/problems with this pregnancy! I am also worried about my baby's health as well. Wish me luck to have a nice healthy baby in 13 weeks!

My daughter just came into my room very proudly because she just dressed herself. However I had to try not to lough at her.... Her outfit just did not match at all. She was wearing a long sleeve shirt with hearts with a checkered sleeveless summer dress over it. And also was wearing a bright pink sweat pants underneath her dress...... I was trying to make her change but she insisted that she looked pretty and did not want to change. Since she is still only 4 years old, I figured that if she is happy just let her go out like that.... plus this might give her a chance to be a very creative individual!

Christmas is just around the corner. However with the weak economy I am sure that most people are trying to save money everywhere they can to get through this tough time. If you are looking to save money on big ticketed items this holiday season, you must use online coupon codes! I always shop online by using coupons and save tons of money. I found out that online shopping can sometimes save a lot more money than shopping offline. I usually get nice online discount and especially during the holiday season, I never pay anything for shipping. If you love to save money, this is your time to shop online this holiday season! Especially if you are looking to purchase electronic items such as computers, digital cameras, GPS and so on. If you are looking to buy these big ticketed items, I suggest you to visit NewEgg. They have a variety of electronic merchandise with reasonable prices. My husband and I often use NewEgg's services and we are very happy with them. We've purchased a printer, memory cards and digital camera from them in the past and of course we used online coupon during our purchases to save money. Trust me, you can save more on NewEgg's merchandise by visiting the following link: NewEgg promo codes. Happy shopping and start saving tons of money by using online coupons!

Oh my, I have being eating a lot of food lately. I just have this huge appetite. I just can't stop eating. I know that I am eating for two but I also need to watch out for eating the right food. I am scheduled to have my second glucose test for gestational diabetes. I am hoping that I pass this test. I had a gestational diabetes with my first daughter and it was tough. I do not want to poke my finger and check my blood sugar levels. I also do not want to put on a low carb diet....... so far, I have not had any symptoms of gestational diabetes so I am really hoping that I do not have one. Wish me luck.

I am finally starting to feel better. I think that my anemia problems is finally going away! I decided to open up a new online store called PreciousTees.com via Spreadshirt company. I have being using cafepress for a long time however I decided to try out spreadshirt company. It seems to me that Spreadshirt has better quality merchandise compare to cafepress. I am adding new designs everyday so if you have a chance, please check out my sore! Thanks!

I am having a huge headache today. Today is Monday and my daughter usually goes to her pre-school in the morning but today(columbus day) she has no school  I do not know what to do with her today. I am still not recovered from my anemia, so I really can't do many activities with her. She has some friends in the neighborhood but her good next door friend is currently at her grandma's place because her mother got hospitalized last week. I might just call around to see if she can have a play date with someone today. I hope that there is someone available to play with her today.

I have been trying to come up with a new logo for my online t-shirt shop. I came up with a several designs but I just do not like any one of them. It is so hard to design stuff..... I was like this when I was pregnant with my first daughter as well. Pregnancy sure messes up many things. I forget things, can't focus and so on. Oh and I have been dealing with a backache as well. I can't even site at my computer desk for a long period of time. I just can't wait to have this baby!!!!!!

Do you ever dream about being on a TV show or a movie? If so, there is a chance for you to fulfill your dream by participating in a casting call. Talent6 is currently offering a casting call for extras to be seen in the background of a film or TV show. In order to be considered, you just have to be age of 18-35 and call Talent6's toll free number 1-800-493-9047 to speak with a portfolio manager.. Extras are usually seen behind the main actor(s), so does not really require any lines of dialogue to remember. Good thing about being an extra is that you do not really have to have any talent. Oh, and you may question about your pay. Yes, you get paid for your time to be an extra. According to Talent6, movie extras are getting paid between $100 and $300 per day based on the project that they are participating. Isn't this great? You get to do what you have been dreaming about and get paid at the same time. One of my friends has been dreaming about being on a TV for a long long time. She just was not able to pursue her dreams due to raising a child. I think if I tell her about this opportunity, she will be thrilled. This is something that she can do while she raises her child and will give her some extra income. If you are like my friend, you must call Talent6 1-800-493-9047 to see what kind of opportunities are there for you. Good luck!

Recently, I have been crying a lot more... This pregnancy is second time around for me but all the sudden I start to worry about things. I am usually crying in the middle of the night. I get worried about if this baby is going to be healthy. I get worried about labor. I get worried about if I'm going to have c-section. And I get worried about many other things that really does not make sense. I hope that I am not getting depressed. I guess being an anemic and diagnosed with a placenta previa is causing to have a lot more fear in me than my last pregnancy. I am getting frustrated with this whole thing. I just can't wait for this baby to born. Wish me luck. Thank you.

I am so frustrated with my work at home business. Well, I think it is my fault for not focusing on one thing. I am actually all over the place. Being pregnant is not helping me either. Right now, I work as a freelance graphic designer. I take jobs based on word of mouth. I've done booklet designs, post card designs, t-shirts designs, web designs and other graphic related jobs for my clients. Beside my offline freelance work, I have my own t-shirt shops online. I design t-shirts and sell them. I make decent money from these shops but I know if I put more time and effort into these shops, I can potentially bring in more income. Oh and as you might know, I do profit nice income for blogging, too. I'm juggling to do everything while I take care of my 4 year old as well. I just want to cry right now. I am so disorganized.... Ever since I got pregnant, I can't really focus/concentrate.... I guess I need to sit down to come up with an outline to prioritize things. Wish me luck. Thanks.

The zennioptical.com offers stylish quality prescription eyeglasses from as low as $ 8 along with a Case. I am very interested in the style of eyeglasses.

This weekend is my birthday weekend. My birthday is on Sunday and I will turn 34 this year I don't feel 34 and I hate looking at this number. I usually try not to think about my age at all. I keep telling people that I am 27 years old.  My daughter thinks that I am only 4 years old, which is her age...lol  Anyway, even though this is my birthday weekend, I am not doing anything special. Well, I just do not have any energy to do anything with this pregnancy. I basically told my husband that I just want a strawberry cheese cake for my birthday and that's about it for my celebration. It is kind of sad but at this point of my pregnancy with all the problems, I really can't do anything....... Oh I forgot to ask. Anyone celebrating birthday this Sunday? So far, I've only met one person that shares the same exact birthday and birth year. It will be cool to find more people who shares the same birthday.
