Finally an update!

Well I had hoped to do better at keeping this blog updated, but as you all know I have been slacking. I really need to get in a better habit of posting more often BEFORE baby arrives otherwise there may be no hope.

As of today we are 34 weeks pregnant, only 6 weeks to go! I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 28 weeks but thankfully do not require medicine. I was able to adjust my diet and monitor my glucose by checking my blood 4 times a day. There is no real risk to baby as long as keep my numbers low, which so far hasn't been difficult to do. However babies born to diabetic mothers sometimes tend to be a bit bigger. Chris and I have an sonogram appointment next Tuesday to check baby's weight and see if he has turned head down. Our last sonogram was at 18 weeks when we found out he was a boy and at that time he was sitting in the frank breech position, which is exactly how my sister Megan and I were delivered. We are praying that if he hasn't turned already that he does soon because they no longer give you the option of delivering naturally when the baby is breech and of course I would prefer a natural birth over a c section. So please keep us in your prayers as we near baby time!

I'm off to bed but promise to keep the Henderson blog spot updated.
