I know your busy and I figured you were around just still having computer issues. We are doing good. Just dealing with the gestational diabetes now and hoping for the best. The baby is doing great!! He's a very strong kicker and the kids finally got the chance to feel him kick the other day. The expressions on their faces were so cute!! They were like whoa there really is something in mommy's belly!!! Love you too!!

So today we went to a local theme park (would have preferred Disneyland but I'll take what I can get) to do trick or treating with their characters. We saw all the characters and then went and saw the show they do (it's been the same one for the last couple years but that's ok.). The kids loved it!! Here they are in their costumes Friday night:



Here's Sarah enjoying the show:

Thank you! I know I need to get rest but I could always say look whose talking. You need to get the rest too when you can. I do have a pretty great Dr. and I'll see her on Tuesday. Will let everyone one know how that goes.

Twice in one week!! I hope I didn't make you Mom's rest? NOBODY told me!!!I hope the MD appt went well today!

sometimes you test positive while pregnant but it goes away after delivery lets hope for that scenario If not, I have diabetes and control it with metformin(pills) and diet no shots for me.......and I plan on keeping it that way. So watch your sugar intake....don't forget juice has a lot of sugar in it. I try to eat a lot more vegs now and orange yellow ones ,carrots, yams, they seem to taste sweet without the sugars....

No fainting going on here. Just cheering knowing your posting when you can. My appointment went good today. The baby is doing well (has that nice strong heartbeat) and I'm measuring right where I should be. My Dr. is very positive that we'll be able to control the gestational diabetes with diet and I'm all for that!! Will still have to do the finger pricks to check the my levels but I guess I can live with that if I don't have to do shots!! Rest what's that? I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Thank you. I do hope that it does go away after the baby is born. I was borderline before I got pregnant so I'm afraid this might have pushed me over the edge. I still have my nutritionist appointment next week so will get a lot more info then. But until then I'm already trying to start cutting things out that I do know are high in sugar. My kids are big juice drinkers (I still dilute my 6 1/2 year olds with water) but I'll drink water expect for every now and then. I do have issues with a soda a day and if not soda a cup of coffee. The soda helps with the morning sickness I do still get every now and then (but I try to only drink it when I start to feel sick).

I have been borderline for the last 35 years. Finally fell over the border at 55 but I keep my A1C at 7 without much trouble. I also have Krones , so I am used to cutting things out of my diet when the dr. says it goes ......it goes. I had dropped to 1 diet soda a day but now I drink 1 every other week or so. Once you get into water it really is all I need, but I do have iced tea once in a while. Now I can't drink reg soda (taste like surip)

Late in life diabetes runs in my family. I think if lung cancer didn't take my grandma she probably would have ended up diabetic too (her mom, sister, brother, grandma all had it). I'm sure I'll be able to cut the soda's down even more once this school carnival is over and done with. I'm so tired I start to feel sick and nothing but that soda helps. I've tried diet but there's just something in it that I don't like so I don't drink it. I do drink a lot of water too (at least 8 - 10 glasses a day). Glad you were able to keep yours at bay as long as you did. I'm still learning so I'm sure over time it'll be easier to cut things out as needed. Thank you for all the info and support!!

Ahhh I love you too!! We all have lives outside the computer and I know I'm not here as often as I'd like to be either. I also know I'll read but just not feel like commenting or just trying to get caught up so I read through and then forget to comment. I am trying my best it's just hard as you know having little one's. I wish we were closer to each other too because not only would you be wanting to help me but I'd be wanting to help you!! It'd be a win/win for both of us.

This weekend is going to be a busy one but after tomorrow (well actually Sunday) things are going to slow way down!!! Thank goodness!!! Tomorrow is my kid's school carnival and today we got to decorate their booths. I did more than I planned but I will say we do have some pretty great booths this year!!

Sarah's



Jeremy's



So I know I haven't really done anything in regards to a trip update but I think we have decided we're just going to drive our own vehicle. If we were to rent one plus gas it would just make sense to fly. Now I'm all for that but the cheapest flights I found were around $2500 for the 6 of us. The baby would be a lap baby. $2500 is a lot of food, souvenirs and special things I'd rather do for the kids (like BBB for Sarah.) Now to get DH to agree on a resort so I can get this trip booked!!

Hope you are feeling well. I was borderline with my daughter and understand the fear from just the test.. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Those costumes are fantastic by the way...what a great group idea and they all went for it how much fun.

Love the carnival booths as well.

Hope to hear about resort choices form you soon!!

Thank you for the vote of confidence! I am doing well. I've come to the conclusion it is what it is and we'll survive. I'll do the best I can to keep on track but I know I'll make mistakes and won't beat myself up over it.

They like to match to a point but it did take a little work to get it to happen this year. I like having a theme because the pictures turn out sooo cute!! Thanks.

Thank you. I'm just very glad that the kids school carnival is finally over!! We had a great time but all the work and time that goes into preparing for it does wear a person down. Especially when your trying to get things done for 2 booths!!

I hope so too!!! Right now we're between AOA and Fort Wilderness Cabins. My vote is AOA. Now to get DH to agree.

I just love how the kids' Carnival booths turned out! Great job! Good luck with the carnival today!

As a side note - I love that you have your pregnancy ticker in your siggy - I love seeing how the little one grows... I can't believe how far along you are already!!!

Thanks! They did have a great time on Saturday. Today we ended up just relaxing at home since I had a 3 year old who woke up at about 2 am coughing and crying. Poor baby was not happy and it took us about a half an hour to finally get him calmed down and back to sleep.

I love seeing it too. I know it just seems like yesterday that we found out we were expecting. January is going to be here before we know it!!

Thanks! We got lots of compliments on our fishing one especially!! The snow cone was a hit also though but I think that had more to do with what the booth was than the decorating!!

 

[blessedmom4]

Praying you are feeling much better today and no one else gets sick!

Still feeling bad but at least James seems to be on the mend. I did reschedule a play date Jeremy was supposed to have tomorrow because I don't want to get her sick. Jeremy was bummed but he understood and knows she will be coming next week now.

 

[blessedmom4]

Praying today is a MUCH better day health-wise and in all ways!
