November 2013


November Update:

As of now Nov, 22 I’m 31 weeks. It has been a rough one. This pregnancy has been totally different from Aly’s from the start. I was super sick from weeks 3-14, then started feeling better but then started having other issues. My nose congestion has come back with a vengeance, the heart burn has been terrible and sleeping is pretty much non existent. While I am so grateful to be able to carry this child and I’m so excited to meet him, it has been hard. I am doing really well on my weight gain. Right now I am at 15lbs which is pretty good. At this point with Aly I was well over 30.

They did have me take my glucose test when I was 12 weeks because of my pre pregnancy weight and I passed it just fine. I had to take it again at 28 weeks and I failed the one hour test. They had me come back for the three hour test to determine if I had gestational diabetes. The test was ok, they took my blood when I got there and then had to drink the sugar water and have my blood drawn every hour. When I went back to the Dr. on Monday they said I passed the test. My levels were high on one test but I needed to fail 2 to be considered diabetic. So that was great news.

I pretty much don’t sleep much at all, about 30-45 mins and my hips hurt so bad that it wakes me up. I’ve been trying to sleep in the chair in the living room but only works for a little while. I just have to make it 8 more weeks!!!

 JV’s dad and him got the nursery painted last weekend, and we got border to put up soon. John is coming over soon to paint the trim and the doors. Brett helped JV get all the furniture down so we have that in the room and once we are finished with the walls we can put everything together. Its getting close and we are all so excited to meet this little guy!!!

We had Aly’s family feast at school earlier this month. It was great. They had prepared some songs to sing, made Indian vest and feathers. We had a great time and really enjoyed spending that time with her.
