32 weeks...33 weeks tomorrow!

We had an amazing holiday back in Kansas City. We had the intentions of staying a week, but ended up staying two weeks. We got to see most of our family and a lot of our friends. It was important to us to make the rounds as this will be our last trip before Jack arrives. It was amazing to have such a beautiful Christmas with snow...and that just so happened to prolong our trip. We didn't want to take any chances driving through Oklahoma, since they got 14 inches of snow in places. We are so blessed to have such an amazing family to spend the holidays with! The holidays were a little difficult for me, since I have been monitoring my blood sugar so closely. Christmas cookies are really hard to resist when you have gestational diabetes. I found myself asking around if anyone knew how many carbs were in fudge. I soon found out that eating 4 pieces of fudge after dinner will really make your blood sugar sky rocket.

I went to the OB earlier this week and everything was great. It was pretty uneventful. I had an appointment with the specialist today and he had nothing but fabulous things to say. My blood sugars were amazing and as a reward he said I only need to check them twice a day...a fasting one in the morning and then a two hour reading after any meal each day. I was so excited to hear that! The best part of the visit was the fact that Jack was measuring perfectly normal and weighed in at 4 lbs. 11 oz. The Dr. said he is a beautiful baby and that he'd like to see us back in 3 weeks.

John and I work on getting something done in the nursery every night. We picked up our rocking chair the other night and got it home, unpacked and inspected and there was a giant chunk missing out of one the sides. So we returned it and have to wait for the reordered chair to come in. The crib and bassinet are ready for Jack. I'm almost done washing all of his stuff. John has a few more things to hang on the walls, but overall I think he could come anytime and we'd be as prepared as any new parents could be.

I can't wait for all of us to meet our little munchkin! It's approaching quickly...only 7 more weeks until our due date. I'll keep you updated!

Love,
