Pregnancy Update

My Dr. suggested I take the 1 hr. glucose tolerance test early at 24 weeks since Addison's birth weight was so high (10 lbs 6 oz). My levels were elevated with the 1 hr. test so I was sent to the lab to take a 3 hr. glucose tolerance test. I got a call from the Dr that those levels were elevated too & I have now been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I had a visit with a diabetic counselor/nutritionist and received a glucometer. I am testing my sugar levels 4 times a day. It is tiresome & frustrating at times but I will do what needs to be done for our little guy so he can be healthy.

Peyton's vacation...

Peyton is the only one in our family who has gone on vacation this summer. He has spent the past week in New Mexico with my Aunt Lisa & her family. He is having a blast! He is having so much fun he doesn't want to come home. He will be coming home on Friday & we are looking forward to having him back.

Next week we will also be having a visit from PaPa, Joyce, & Ree. The kids are excited & we are all looking forward to their visit.

IT'S A BOY!!!!

It's official...we will be welcoming another little boy into our family & hearts in October. We are so excited to meet our new little guy and are eagerly anticipating his arrival.
