I had my 2 hour glucose test Monday. It was a lenghty test. I had to follow a 3 day diet of carbs and cookies. Nice diet, eh?! Then I had to fast Sunday night through Monday morning. I had blood drawn, then drank the sugary orange glucose drink. After 1 hour I had my blood drawn again. Then at the 2 hour mark, a final blood draw. Today I had my weekly check up. I was nervous, yet hoping the results were good. And as you can see from the header, I PASSED!! Such a relief :) I may have a glucose intolerance sometimes, but not the dreaded gestational diabetes that can occur in pregnancy. I had it with Breeanna and it was not fun. Anyways... I was told to eat whatever I want and enjoy the remainder of my pregnancy! My blood pressure was perfect, traces of nothing in my urine sample, and I gained a 1/2 pound. The doctor listened to baby for a while, and described what we were hearing. The heartbeat (which was 140 beats per minute), sloshing around from his movement as well as him mimicking breathing. What an amazing thing! I now dont see my regular doctor until after the baby is born. I start seeing my new ob/gyn in the New Year. So hopefully, the next 6.5 weeks, are smooth! Thank you all for your support and listening to me :) And if I dont share again within the next few days...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Check-ups!
2 year well check
Breeanna had a great check up yesterday. She is "perfect" (not meaning to brag, but...) I was afraid she would not be cooperative. She was a terror at her 18 month checkup and not much was accomplished. But this time she was soooo good! Bree weighed in at 11kg, or 24.2 lbs- 25% and Im not sure on her exact height, but she was 75%. She is tall and lean, perfect model material already. Her sight, hearing, speech, etc is all spot on. My only concerns were her sleeping habits, and still being on the bottle. But the doctor didnt seem too worried, children do things when theyre ready. She had her seasonal flu shot, and that didnt go very well. She moved too fast when the needle went in, and had to get "shot" a second time for the serum to go in. She SCREAMED! But a sucker and bandaid soon made the pain go away. I am so proud of her :)
33 week check-up
I was seen again, on account of my blood pressure being high last week. This week it was fine. I gained another pound as well. Well, baby did :) I had no ketones, or protein in my sample this week. But sadly, I had glucose :( I am on a "diet" over the weekend, and on Monday I go for my 2 hour glucose test. So I am fearing I may have to be back on insulin for the remainder of this pregnancy too. But what can ya do? Id rather baby and I be healthy and safe. Baby boy was very active as usual. He was head down and kicking all over. His heart rate was 150 beats per minute. And we are measuring at 39 weeks now, WOWSA! I go back next week for another check up! I cannot believe I have 7 weeks, or less now. Eeekkk!

2 years old and 32 weeks!
Breeanna
Breeanna May turned 2 yesterday. Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I gave birth to her. She had a pretty lax day. We were snowed in 3 days from "Snowmageddon". We did make it out to the mall for something to eat and to see Santa. But we didnt get a picture with the jolly old man, as she was scared of him LOL! We had a birthday party for her this past Sunday. She was spoiled, as usual. She goes for her 2 year check up next week. Im anxious to see where her growth is at. She is still a petite little lady, and always will be I think. She is a busy girl, going all day. Somedays she doesnt even nap. I sure like getting that break when she does go down. She loves her books and puzzles. She is so smart! She is growing out of alot of her infant clothes and now fitting into size 2 toddler clothes.
Baby Boy & I
I am now 32 weeks pregnant. I had my bi weekly check up today. Blood pressure was up a bit. So the doctor wants to see me again next week. Could have been from the winter drive, or that I waited so long in the waiting room. But its good she is a very thorough doctor and wants to keep a close eye on me. Baby boy was laying head down, and to the right. His heart beat was at 130 today, a little slower than usual. But he may have just had a nap LOL I have been feeling great! And he has been very active as usual. Its hard to figure out what is a foot, knee, fist, etc... when he is beating me from the inside out. I have yet to find out when I go for another glucose test. I am supposed to get the paperwork in the mail. But the mail has been delayed on account of our nasty winter weather. So, we shall see...

It's December!
I have been well.
We had our first real snow fall yesterday. What a nice start to December! Im not being sarcastic, I was actually looking forward to snow. We usually have it sometime in November, but didnt this year. We werent as hard hit as some places. Must be because were further from the lake now and sort of sheltered in the city. Breeanna loved going out in it, kicking at it and trying to eat it. And I dont think she can figure out why it disappears when its in her warm bare hand. So cute!
She has been a busy girl! She is so full of energy its hard to keep up with her. She is my little book worm! She is saying alot of words now, and very clearly. Its so funny what she comes out with sometimes. She is all about animals and the sounds they make. And lately, she thinks she is a lion. She will crawl around and growl at you! We are having her birthday party Sunday. I have pretty much everything planned out. Just have to do shopping and prepping the day before. We have about 12 people coming. I really hope she has a great day! It is princess themed and everything pink. I found her a cute shirt that says "I am the birthday princess" and Ill have her in her tutu her gramma gave her. I had to put the tutu away because she insisted wearing it all day, even at nap and bedtime!
I have 2 months to go with the pregnancy. Kind of crazy how fast its going by now. We have all that we need pretty much. I just want to get stocked up on diapers and wipes. And I need to sort through clothes that Bree had and clothes people have given us. Its so cute looking at all the newborn and 0-3 month clothing. Its hard to believe theyre ever that tiny! I go next week for a check up, I have them every 2 weeks now. I have not yet heard from my ob/gyn's office as to when I start seeing them .So I will just see my regular doctor every 2 weeks till then. I had my glucose test tuesday, just waiting on results. Im sure everything is fine, as my sugars have been great all along. I just have that fear in the back of my head after what I went through with my first pregnany. It will be nice not to have to worry about that. It is getting harder to get around now. I waddle around, and have to take breaks. Sometimes my pelvis and back really hurt. So I just have to sit or lay down and take it easy. My feet have been swelling too if Im on them too long as well. Oh the joys... Well thats all for now. just thought id give an update!
