8 weeks left

32 weeks and counting down the weeks. The back pain is getting worse along with the pain under the ribs. I can't sit in the computer chair very long cause my back starts to really hurt. I've also been experiencing severe hip pain. I'm guessing my body is getting ready for her arrival and is letting my hips get loose to get into place for delivery. We've gone to a breast feeding class and found it to be very informative. We also met our new babysitter for Adrionna, very nice and intelligent lady who's got kids of her own. She's going to watch her for $20.00 a day which is great for us considering we only need her for two days mostly. We go next week for another u/s hopefully we'll get another 3d one, there really neat. She's been rolling around in there and amazing Carl every time he watches her move. I also had my shower this week, it was ok but would have been nicer if the invitations had been sent out 2-3 weeks before not less than a week before. I got some stuff but not what I was hoping for.

31 Weeks

I've been really slacking on the blogging, I'm getting tired now alot and just don't have the energy to do alot of things. I don't know if she's having a growth spirt and stealing all my energy or what. She's moving all around, constantly. Carl & I still go for our evening walks for my suger which has been doing very well. We went to the dr this week and I lost 3lbs which she said is ok, and is very happy with my sugers. We also got a 3d picture of her from the u/s which is really cool. I'll have another u/s in two weeks when I go back.

30 weeks

With only 10 weeks left, things are getting there. Her room is done and has been for about 2 weeks now. I went to the dr on Thursday and my placenta has moved up so no C-section for that. My sugers where good and I lost 1lb. Baby girl weighs 2lbs 14oz and is right on scheduale for Nov 7th. Me on the other hand are having a problem now with low amniotic fluid, she said it's just alil low. So will have another u/s in 2 weeks on Sept 9th to see how it is looking. I've been getting the Braxton Hicks contractions and I think some regular ones. They cause alot of heavy pressure and some pain. I've had a few that I actually had to breathe through. Tonight starts our 1st lamaze class, we've got 3 of them. It's been 13 years for me and 17 for Carl so hopefully we learn something.

Want me to make you something special?

Want me to make you something special?
My good bloggy friend Kimbo is going to make me something special because I signed up on her blog, now it's your turn to get something special from me!The first 5 people to respond to this blog will get something made especially for them, by me, *who wouldn't want that?!So here's the "games" mumbo jumbo:
I have one year to get you your special gift - It really shouldn't take that long**
What I make you will be one of a kind***
You won't know what it is until it arrives at your doorstep****
You have to repost this on your blog and do the same for the first 5 responses to youDisclaimers:*there is no guarantee that you will like what I send you, ,**with me hopefully moving in the next month or so I'm not making any promises on a quick turn around, but it won't be a year***unless I like it so much I later make one for myself too**** At this point I have no idea what it is either!

11 weeks to go

11 weeks to go is very exciting, won't belong before she is here. I'm not feeling to well this week, came down with broncitis so have been fighting that but went to the dr and she gave my a rx for 875mg of ammoxacilian so hopefully it will start working soon. I've been writing everything I eat down so I can see what brings my suger up and what doesn't. I go the end of next week for my u/s but i'm wondering now that I have GD will I get more u/s so they can see how big she is getting. No swelling as of yet, hopefully it stays that way. I've been drinking alot of water, so hopefully that has been helping. She is weighing according to my book almost 3lbs and is about 15 1/2 inches tall. I'm thinking she'll be about 20-21 inches when she is born. Now her weight couldn't even guess since they say the GD makes her gain weight fast, Arthur was 7lbs 6oz so don't think she will be that small, probably around 8lbs hopefully not 9lbs. If I have to have a c-section I want them to take her as soon as they can so I can get healed and back to work, this being out on short term and only bringing home $166.00 a week is killing us big time.

28 weeks

Well I went for my 1hr glucose test and failed took the 3hr glucose test and failed.... such dissappoinment and just overall shocked I am. So now I'm diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, I've got to change my eating habits and what I eat not to mention test my suger 4x a day. They want to see if they can control it with just diet and excercise right now. I've started walking everynight after dinner, and the numbers jump around but it's going to take a bit till I'm used to this. Adrionna is very active, constantly moving around. I've gained 4lbs this month so a total of 18lbs so far. I start my every two week Dr's visit's now. Next visit I get another u/s to see if the placenta has moved up any. Adrionna's room is finished except just waiting on the crib which will come in Sept.
