*7 Months*


Month 7. I can hardly believe that I am here already. My pregnancy is still going great we did have a little bit of a scare,0 at least for us, this past month. When I went in for my glucose test I failed the 1 hour test. The cut off was 140 and I was 141 so they told me I needed to come back the next week for a 3 hour. If I failed the 3 hour I would be considered a gestational diabetes. I was terrified. I was stressed all weekend and my dream of waking up and eating a big brownie right before I went and took my test didn't help. But after many prayers and a blessing I knew that everything would be okay. And it was. I started the test with a sugar level of 66. After the first hour the cut off for sugar was 180? and I was 119. After the second hour the cut off was 150 and I was at a 97. They told me that I didn't even need to stay for the 3rd hour. So everything is great and working the way that it should. What a relief. Here are some other happenings with this pregnancy
* Sleep is a long lost friend I wish to experience again. I can't ever seem to get comfortable and about an hour after I find a somewhat comfortable spot I have to get up and go potty.
*My babies seems to like a nerve in my back that is untouchable during pregnancy to anyone who is on the outside. No amount of stretching, massaging, heat packing, or anything else seems to cure it. Anyway it makes it hard to sit, and walk but oh well....only 10 more weeks left.
*No food aversions....but I am currently going through a pie phase....I LOVE PIE!!!
*I carry this little one so much differently then I did Brantley. She is way more out which means rocking Brantley becomes quite uncomfortable...but I will endure because I will not loose my cuddle time with my growing baby boy who isn't much of a baby anymore.
*She is constantly moving....and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
*We are thinking of the name Bridget, Joni, or JulieAnn but we will see what happens.
I still love being pregnant but this one has been a little tougher because of how far out she is and it makes my daily things a lot more difficult to get done, I definitely don't bend like I used to. But we sure can't wait to meet this little one. We are so excited to have her join our family.
