Baby Update!

I thought I would write a little bit to let everyone know a little more of how I am doing and how the Baby is doing. Right now I am almost 34 weeks.
I have had to have a doctor's appt every week, starting about 5 weeks ago. Just to check things out. I have gestational diabetes that has progressively gotten harder to manage with just meds. They finally put me on insulin a couple of days before Christmas and it took a good week to get that sorted out and working right. Now it is all good. My glucose numbers are good and I am feeling better too.
Now I am at a visit with my OB every other week and my Perinatal Dr every other week. Plus a non-stress test every other week and an ultrasound every other week. So I am finally on the home stretch. (I hope). When I had my last ultrasound, they measured Payton at 5lbs. Can you believe that at 32 weeks he is already that big.
I have not gained any weight of consiquence. All the weight I have gained is all baby and not any more than that.

Christmas Update!

Sorry I have not updated in so long.
We were able to spend a Christmas at home with just our family. It was quiet and WHITE!!!! Can you believe that?!?!?! It began snowing and being icy around the 14th and so the girls didn't have school all that week because of the conditions. (Any signs of snow here they practically close down everything.) So the girls got an extra week of school, which was nice for them, but bad at the same time! Now they have summer habits again. I have been trying all week to get them to bed on time and to start thinking school again. Some days are better than others!! :)
Here are a few pictures from our weeks at home, in the snow and Christmas.

Madie going down a hill on a tube, if you can zoom in you would see the worlds biggest smile!!!!
Naomee on her way down the hill!!
I used to love playing in the snow. (Not so much these days!)

Madie with another great smile, opening presents!

Cadie and one of the best games we have had in the house in a long time.
It is called Express Monopoly. It is really fast and easy, even Madie and Naomee get in on the action.
