We had an ultrasound of Chloe done today! The top one is a side view and the bottom one is a front view! It was so fun to see my little Chloe kicking and stetching. The ultra sound tech said she was doing great, very active and healthy. She is now working on her practice breathing!!! She is currently at an estimated weight of 3 1/2 lbs. It's hard to believe we only have 9 weeks left, but we can't wait to be able to hold her in our arms!!!

Update on the Gestational Diabetes....

I had my doc. apt. today and he thinks I'm stressing to much over this, his only real concern was my fasting levels....I need to be 95 or lower and I'm usually 106 so....I start taking Glyburide at night with dinner....I guess this is suposed to trigger my pancreas to kick out more insuline....hopefully this will be enough to do the trick....I will go back next Friday and go over my levels again and see if we need to tweek it anymore or not....in the meantime I got to hear my sweet babies heartbeat today just going so strong :) can't wait till I can have her in my arms!!! And I am going in for an ultrasound tomorrow morning to make sure the diabetes isn't affecting the baby so that will be reasurring as well....in the meantime the doc says to quit stressing and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy it will go by and be over in a flash....so thats just what I intend to do!!!

Can anyone explaine this???

So it has been a week since I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes...I started off right away following the special diet...first I thought the least amount of carbs and sugar I ate the better...turned out I turned my body over to starvation mode which put my sugar out of wack...then after it was explained to me by a diatition that I had to have the set amount of carbs to keep my body out of the starvation mode I measured and followed to a T...still my sugar was out of wack and the hunger pains in my stomache just wouldn't go away...so I decided to try one more thing...keeping the sugars out of my diet still but eating my carbs like I would as a pregnant non diabetic and test my sugars...wait a minute what is this my sugar levels were back to where they should be...???...don't know how to explain this but I guess I might just be lucky...I go back to my doc. on tues. so I will explaine everything to him and see what I am suposed to do and keep you posted!!!

The Verdict is in.....

Well I had gone in last week to take my routine pregnancy glucose test and received a phone call the next day that my sugar level was too high, so they schedualed me a second test that had a higher sugar content and required 3 hours and four blood draws. Well I recieved my phone call today with the results being that my sugar again was just to high and I have gestational diabetes. I am really worried mostly because I want my litttle Chloe to be ok!!! Although I am not real excited about poking my finger four times a day, and staying away from all things sugar is a bummer. I am also feeling really sad that we moved our family out here to MN to be closer to my family as we have not been an important part in any of there lives...infact other then my little sister that I adore no one else has even asked how this pregnancy has been, not once since I announced it to them all months ago. But I am sooooo thankful for Tys family Especially his mom whom I consider to be my mom anyways, Always there for me to listen and give advice no matter what the problem or how early or late I call. Infact If I don't call her in the morning just to check in my whole day is weird!!! And the rest of you who have taken the time to care about us and our kids to remember us out here so many miles away, thanks for all your support and love and prayers. And I will keep you updated on this diabetes and the baby as I only have to battle this for 11 more weeks.
