What finally?!? Or perhaps an "I didn't know you were pregnant!" I know; I know; I haven't been very good at keeping everyone up to date. Other than a couple of stray posts on facebook I haven't really had a chance to let everyone know how things are going. Life just seems too busy! That and having small children crawling all over while trying to type doesn't seem to help me actually accomplish anything.
So first the basics:
1) Baby's due date is November 16 which means I am
36 weeks pregnant. So yes I have rapidly been passing up the swallowed a basketball stage to full blown land whale. I make no promises concerning pictures.
2) In the beginning of July was sonogram time and according to the radiologist we will be welcoming our first boy. The older 2 girls are very excited since they have decided we have enough girls. Laura would much rather we continue with the girl only streak. I'm pretty sure that Karla is oblivious and will be in for a rude awakening when we bring a new baby of either kind home from the hospital.
3) In the beginning of September yours truly flunked her blood glucose test and has been diagnosed as a gestational diabetic despite having virtually no risk factors. (Although from what I can tell they are not real solid on what actually causes it. They like to blame it on hormones.) So now I have the fun of monitoring my blood sugar, giving myself insulin injections (only once a day thank goodness), going to the hospital twice a week for non-stress tests and eating a very low carb diet using
primal eating to guide it. I will try to detail this more in a future post.
4) The c-section is scheduled for November 8th however the last two still prefered to pick their own birthdays.
Despite all of this Baby Deters seems to be doing quite well and we look foreward to meeting him very soon!
