So, I didn't really think about the "comments" section of the blog. I have made comments on friends' blogs but I guess that I've lost quite a few brain cells to pregnancy. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post again. I'm still learning this blog thing but I will try to post more often and make them interesting.
It was very exciting to get posts from people I haven't talked to in a while. I could really get into this!
Any tips on making it more interesting are welcome and much appreciated. BTW- how do I put links to other people's blog on mine?

OMGOSH!
Ok, so I created this blog in January and didn't really "launch" it, so I didn't think people knew it existed. Well, much to my dismay, it was found. I was heckled last week for not posting in so long.
So here is the latest- pregnancy has been- let's say- eventful for me. We are having a girl! So excited, everything is so pink! My favorite color- perfect for me. Not that I wouldn't have loved a little boy just as much. I have developed gestational diabetes. I have to test my blood sugars 4 times a day and watch every carb- good and bad- I eat. If I want a "bad" carb like a cookie, I need to exercise right after to manage to glucose. If my hormones change and I can't manage the glucose, then I will have to take insulin injections. And we all know just how happy that will make me! So, I take in the minimal amount of carbs that I can- I also have to test to make sure I get enough carbs- so don't worry- I get carbs- mostly good ones. With the gestational diabetes, I am now high-risk and have to see a doctor, not a mid-wife. And GD, makes them want to induce labor early. SO- new due date- induction begins on Aug. 4- she should arrive Aug. 5. I have also been having sciatica pain and a pinched nerve since February.
Overall, pregnancy has been ok to me, everything could be worse. I could be on bed rest- I'm glad I'm not- I might go crazy. I'm doing well, I'm trying to embrace every step. I have to say my favorite part is feeling her move. At times it is a little shocking because the movements can be so dramatic. But it is amazing!
My last day of work will be July 2 or 3.
We have been preparing for the babies arrival- it is very exciting. I am overwhelmed at how generous everyone has been. My mother-in-law threw a shower, great friends threw shower and my co-workers through a shower. So there is very little left for us to get. We now just have to put it all together and get the nursery ready. It is so much fun!
I have to figure out how to post pictures. This is all very new to me. I have picture of the 30 week ultrasound and pictures I have taken along the way of my ever growing tummy!
