baby update!

well i had another dr.'s appointment today. the baby's heartbeat sounded good. it was in the 150's. my doctor wants me to keep a close eye on fetal movements. especially with the whole GD thing. so I am going to start charting it, or at least keeping a close eye on it. I am sure there are charts online I could download or something. anyways, i also am going to have to start driving about an hour away every few weeks to have ultrasounds and some monitoring done each week. my doctor is very concerned about the babies size since my 3 previous babies were all 9 + pounds without gestational diabetes. so even being monitored she is thinking this babe might be a chunky monkey. They also want to do some checking into the whole cleft palate thing. So my first round of test should be in two or three weeks and then it will be on a more regular basis from then till delivery. I am just ready to have this baby and know that everyone is happy and healthy!!

I had GD too with my last one. Makes it a wee more interesting, but just count carefully and walk as much as possible. It really does help! That and my biggest hurdle, try not to stress.... You are such a good Mommy!

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
