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!

10 weeks, more or less
I cant believe I am 30 weeks pregnant. That leaves me 10 weeks to go, more or less. Im scared, yet excited at the same time! Yesterday I had my monthly check up. I got the referral to my new doctor at the hospital I will be delivering at. Was asked a gazillion questions! Received a requisition for my glucose test. My sugars have been "perfect" all along, so I hope I pass that test. My blood pressure and weight gain was good- gained 3 lbs in 6 weeks. The doctor measure my belly, at a whopping 36 weeks! I measured big with Bree too, but she was only 7lbs 3oz. I am short and have a short torso so... Baby was wiggling all over, but the doctor was able to feel where he was laying, head down and to the right. His heart rate was 150 beats per minute, and sounded like a gallopping horse! So everything is going wonderfully! I now start going for check ups every 2 weeks, instead of once a month. Its pretty exciting!
29 week belly
Bree is doing awesome as well. She is definetly developing her own personality. She is talking up a storm and comes up with the funniest things. She likes certain dolls and toys. She insists on going outside all the time. We have to hide her coats and shoes so she doesnt constantly try and put them on and go for an "i go".
For a bit there, she wasnt eating much and sleeping lots. I think she was going through a growth spurt. Now she constantly eats! Thank goodness she has her fathers metabolism. She goes in a few weeks for her 2 year check up. I will know then how much she weighs and how long she has gotten. She isnt my baby anymore, she is my little girl. But thankfully, she still has her baby moments where she wants to cuddle. Next weekend is her birthday party, Im pretty excited for that! I just cant believe she will be 2 already. Where has the time gone?!

November, already?
Sorry!
I am so sorry, I cant believe it has been 6 weeks since I posted last. I am just so busy with other things that I dont get the time to sit down and add to this blog.Breeanna May
Breeanna is 1 week and 1 month away from being a 2 year old. I cant believe it! Where has the time gone? She is no longer a baby, she is my little lady. She amazes us everyday, she is just so smart and sweet. She comes out with a few new words each day. She is all about animal sounds right now, and lately she growls like a big jungle cat. She had gone off the bottle for a while, and was almost drinking no milk at all. But I think she was missing it, and will only drink milk from a bottle. So she has about 2 a day. We really hope by her 2nd birthday she has given them up, as well as the dreaded soother. She has never had a favourite toy or blankie, so I think those are her security items.
Halloween
We had a wonderful Halloween, she was Pegasus. She did really well at walking door to door getting her treats.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Well thats all for now, I promise I will start to try posting at least once a week now.
Baby
The baby in my belly is doing amazing. I will soon be 27 weeks along, its so hard to believe this pregnancy has gone by so fast! We found out a couple weeks ago that we are expecting a baby BOY! I wasnt sure how I would react to the news, but when I found out, I cried! We will get our million dollar family :) Id just like the million dollars to go along with it!

September 2010
Its been a while...
Breeanna- 20 months old
Sorry I have been neglecting this blog. Weve just been so busy!
Breeanna turned 21 months. I cant believe that in just a few months she will be 2! Ive already started planning her birthday party in my head. Just trying to decide on a theme... Winnie the Pooh, Princess', or Tinkerbell??? She is growing out of alot of her clothes. She is fitting in size 24 months and size 2 girls. She isnt my baby anymore! She is very tall and looks so grown up. Im thankful for her snuggles and that she is still my baby sometimes. She is talking lots, its so cool having conversations with her. She keeps me laughing all the time with some of the things she comes out with. She loves to flip through her books and point at words and pictures. She loves playing with her building blocks. She has become very loving, giving kisses and hugs. And she is much more ''gentle'' with the animals. We go for many walks and she enjoys that. She just likes being outside and seeing new things. We had a busy month with organizing the house, birthday parties, visits to the fair. Last week she had a "Fairy Photo Shoot". It was such a fun day and the pictures came out awesome!
Our little fairy September 11th 2010
Baby in my belly is doing very well. I am 20 weeks already, half way there! I have been getting kicked alot! Its a very active baby. I had my monthly check up yesterday. I am measuring at 21 weeks, blood pressure was perfect, so sugars in my system, and I gained 2 pounds. Baby was wiggling all over, but the doctor finally caught the heart rate, 160 beats per minute. I have been feeling great! Just some back pain and some pressure in my belly once in a while. But its all worth what we get in the end!
16 weeks
