I cannot believe that baby girl will most likely be in my arms by this time next week. It feels so unreal that we are that close already! It’s a good thing we are almost done though, as I am really slowing down. A grocery shopping trip with the girls (albeit a big one) wore […]

36 Weeks
Here is my baby belly at 36.5 weeks. Only a few more weeks to go! At this point, I’ve only gained about 5-7 pounds from where I started pre-pregnancy. Thankfully though, baby girl is growing just fine. I am still taking insulin shots first thing in the morning, before most meals and right before bedtime. […]
Tummy Bug
Having a nasty stomach virus while 36 weeks pregnant is painful. I am glad Greg was able to work from home today and watch the girls and take good care of me. Also thankful the anti-nausea meds are helping so I was able to avoid a trip to the hospital for IV fluids and that […]
Surprise Baby Shower
A surprise baby shower (complete with a yummy low sugar/low carb cake that I could eat!) from Kim and Amber, friends at MOPS, followed by several relaxing (and weightless belly!) hours in the swimming pool with friends from our homeschool co-op. Perfect, blessed day.
Time to Slow Down
I think I need to face the fact that now that I am in the last trimester that I need to SLOW DOWN. I am super tired after packing so much into my schedule today. Now if only my calendar wasn’t so full of so many fun events coming up in the next few weeks. 🙂 […]
There’s a First Time For Everything
My nutritionist just told me that I need to work on GAINING a little weight since I’ve been at the same weight during this pregnancy for a few weeks now. (Both a pro and a con of this gestational diabetes diet.) Just had to write this down, since I am rarely told to GAIN weight. 🙂 […]
And More Insulin
The doctor is raising my insulin so now I get to do two shots everyday. *sigh* At least it has helped me be able to eat a little more and not be quite so hungry! Greg and Adrianna refuse to watch when I give myself a shot. 🙂 I am almost out of test strips to […]
Insulin
Gave myself a shot in the belly today. Guess we’ll give this insulin thing a try. Thankful for my sweet and encouraging endocrinologist, nutritionist, and nurse.
Gestational Diabetes Test
Why can’t the diabetes glucose test involve a really big sugary and yummy candy bar instead of that nasty drink. Yuck. 14 hours of fasting so far and 3 more to go before I’m done. So hungry!! I had to be tested earlier than normal since I am high risk for it. We also went […]
It’s Another Girl
We had an ultrasound on August 16th (when I was 19 weeks along). Everything looks great! And it looks like we are having another girl! Yay! We weren’t too surprised at the news that it would be another girl. Adrianna (and Greg) were hoping for a boy but of course we are all excited for […]
