Baby Boy #4 Quick Update

Most saturdays, Randy and I will sit in bed at night and read up on our baby and how he is doing. We have a book called "Your pregnancy week by week". I absolutely love this book and I buy it with every baby. Randy and I use it to show the boys how the baby is growing and it gives us time to connect with the baby as we learn about how he is growing each week.


Last night, I didn't realize this, I found that I started my 3rd trimester! OH MY GOODNESS! IM HAVING ANOTHER BABY! 96 days left till my actual due date, but the Dr is probably going to deliver him a week early- so 89 days left! Oh my!

Baby Boy #4 is very active. Some nights he wakes me out of my sleep. None of my kids ever did that! I go back to the Dr on Sept 3rd, and will likely be having another ultrasound to check in on him. Last visit I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes again, so I've begun eating much different and testing sugars. Since I've started eating better, I feel much better. I have more energy and and not so exsausted all the time. my Dr said that may mean I've had the diabetes for a little while. Anyway- my sugars are well controlled now with the diet change. And to top everything off- I am lactose intollerant too! HOW WILL I LIVE WITHOUT MILK!? I won't I'll have to take medicine.

So far things are going well it seems. If we get more ultrasound pictures, I'll be sure to post em up. Till then- that is our update :)

I am happy to see the update, but I wish your Dr. had done the gtt alot earlier like i suggested. I think you have had it for a while as well, and have thought that all along. Oh well... what does a mother know.... Especially one that's a Medical Assistant in an OB/GYN office!!

I'm glad you're doing better with the food control. Believe me I have been there...done that! Keep up the good work...

I love you,
mom
