Running out of time

I can't believe I have six weeks left!!
Time has gone by super fast as of lately. The first months were definitely going slower than they are now.
I am kind of surprised that I am approaching the due date. I thought it would never be here. My baby shower is coming up and I am so excited. I am excited to see everyone.
I keep trying to imagine what Timothy will look like but I honestly have no idea. I just want him here already so I can hold him, squeeze him, and kiss his chubby cheeks.
I still have a huge list of things to get but I hope to get them all this month. We are running out of time but I know we will be fine.
:)
I will post some sweet pictures very soon.

Last Day of February

I honestly can't believe how fast and slow this year is going.
I am so excited that in less than eight weeks I will meet my precious little Timothy, he is going to make all this worth it.
It is currently 1:00 in the morning and Im not the least bit sleepy so I thought I would post some blogs and update my pregnancy and life.
It has now been about three weeks since I got diagnosed with diabetes and I am doing much better now that I know what I can and can't eat. I am on a strict diet that I'm trying very hard to be good at. I have done so good at staying away from lots of carbs and the sugars. The Drs tell me they are so surprised that I've beena able to do so good and I can't explain how good it feels to hear it from them.

Let me just back up a bit. When I took the one hour glucose test they told me my sugar was so high that I would defidently be needing to go on a diet and get some insulin. This news scared me so much because I dont want to take shots three times a day. I already have enough things to worry about and to add this on top of everything would make my life so much more stressful.

We have been changing food and dinner plans ever since I found out from the doctor but I know it has been worth it. All I have to keep telling myself is that Im doing this for my sweet boy that I love very much.

:)

Timothy Mommy & Daddy both love you very much.

Weeks go by!

I feel like the weeks are going fast at times but defidently not smooth.
Im having a hard time dealing with my recent diagnosis of having GESTATIONAL DIABETES and HYPERTENSION. I was so sad that I didn't do good with my blood sugar.

I now have to diet hard core and not cheat for the rest of my pregnancy. UGH! I've been on it now for two weeks and I hate it. Don't get me wrong I'll do whatever it takes in order to deliver this baby as healthy as possible. I just have to try to be strong. As much as I am struggling I am trying to be positive. I always do but I feel like I've been having too much of a pitty party. I need to pony up and just suck it up.

And let the countdown begin. I have ten weeks left and that equals to about 70 days. I can't believe Im finally seeing a little bit of light at the end of this long tunnel. What an emotional roller coaster I've been on.

I must say my husband has been my one steady consistent foundation. He's so perfect. I love him and our son. He has worked harder than ever and he makes me so happy. He's had to put up with me complain and me crying. He holds me close and tell me itll be okay./

WOW it's been a while

Im sorry my poor babys blog is so behind but I've been busy.
Im sure he'll understand once I can explain,
Im working full time and now going to dr appointments way too much.
I promise to finish this blog strong. :)
I love You Timothy

and in less than 10 weeks Ill meet you

Moving like crazy!

I am so excited that I can finally feel my baby more than little flutters. You can actually see the movement the baby is making in there. I think he's going to be an active busy little boy. I am so excited to meet this little guy.
This week Chris finally felt the movements I've been so eager for him to feel.
I'm glad to know that this pregnancy is finally getting close to my last trimester. WOO HOOO!!!!

Ob visit #5

Last week I went to my fifth visit and it went by fast. We just did what we had to do and he answered some questions and asked me about how it went with the specialist and then that pretty much wrapped it up.

I got weighed, measured, and they took my blood pressure like normal.
We listen to the babys heart beat every time to make sure the baby is doing good and he has a normal heart beat.

In all honesty this whole high blood pressure scares me. The more I read and learn about it the more scared I become. All I want is to hold my baby and make sure that he is healthy and strong. I want to make it without too many complications but it feels like I just have to go through this medication and I have to be checked out by a specialist, which for some reason makes me nervous and scared.

I need to just be stronger and remember that no matter what the Savior is there to listen and help us. I know it'll all work out like it's suppose to.
I am very gratefull for the opportunity to be pregnant and to have the family and friends that I have. I am so excited and apart from these little trials I am facing I am counting my blessings and trying to remain calm. I love my husband for helping me so much. I dont know what I'd do without him.

Week 21 & 22

I am getting huge! LOL I feel like I am growing at an uncontrollably rate. I've only gained about 8 pounds but I still think it's a couple pounds too many. I've got to save my pounds for the last month where the baby gains a pound a week!
I'm just kidding it's not that bad but I can notice my belly getting rounder and bigger.
My shirts that haven't been tight are starting to fill up. Chris is nice enough to still compliment just about every day and tell me sweet nothings. He makes me feel better when I just feel huge.

These weeks I've been feeling the baby more and more. I'm starting to realize that this shy little boy likes to move around and be active after I have a meal such as dinner. He also likes to move around when Im on the compute on the evening. It's really a neat feeling that I don't know how to describe. I would almost explain it like the feeling of the butterflies in your stomach but instead of being a nervous feeling it's more of a physical thing moving in there. They aren't big movements yet because the baby is only about a pound or so. But he's defidently moving and dancing around in there.
On these weeks I have been lazy and enjoying my time off from school. I have been trying to relax and just do me. I wish I could say I've been productive but I haven't been. I'd like to blame my lack of energy and me wanting to reduce my stress level on my blood pressure. Although I know I can be doing more. It's okay I just want to not cause any danger to my baby and I.
Chris is truly an amazing husband. I can't say it enough because I know he has to pick up my slack and help me out more. He is so supportive and understanding. I've been feeling a little guilty lately because I dont feel like I'm good enough for him or that I've been trying hard enough to be a good wife. I need to step it up and my goal is to have the babys room all ready to go by January but we still need to clear out that spare room we have. For some reason it seems so overwhelming to me. We still have like eight boxes and random things in there. UGHH!!! I need to step it up.
Also, the Holidays got in the way last week and now we are getting ready to go on a cruise but once I get back I will get back to work and organizing different things around the house. :D I just have to do it little by little and I know I can have it done in no time.
