7 Down, 2 to Go!

I felt like today would be a good day to update, seeing as how I'm exactly 2 months away from my due date! I never thought I could be so excited and so nervous all at the same time. So here's a little update on whats been going on. At my 28 week appointment I was given the gestational diabetes blood test (what joy) and sadly the test came back positive. They had me do another longer test just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, but it wasn't. Blair was so sweet to sit with me throughout the entire thing! 1 hour for the first test and 3 hours for the second - what a wonderful guy I married! They had me schedule an appointment with a diabetes educator and she turned out to be the one who talked with Blair when we found his; it was nice to see a familiar face. It was a little frustrating to find out that there is no known cause for this diabetes in my particular age group and body type, its just something that happens. But I was glad to know its mild enough that I can control it with just my diet, thank goodness I don't need the insulin shots. They're having me watch my blood sugar levels and my diet very very closely though and if it does get out of hand I will have to start medication. I gotta say that with all this going on, my love and appreciation for Blair has grown immensely. I'm so grateful for the way he takes care of himself and how he handles the disease. We get to poke our fingers as a family now! Besides all this, I feel like our son is thriving! Its so incredible to feel him move even though its super uncomfortable at times. Blair talks to him all the time and is already starting to tease him :) We feel like his personality is already developing and we are loving it! Being pregnant really has been an adventure and I can't believe it will be over in just 2 months. However, we are so excited to meet him and hold him, we love him so so so much! I will keep ya'll posted on his nursery - so many ideas floating around and I just don't know what to do with them! I'm excited to get started and see what we can come up with!
