32 weeks with Baby #2

I am 32 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and this baby seems to be causing me more grief than Audrey did when I was pregnant with her. All the doctor keeps telling me is that I am older and “our bodies as they age don’t handle things the same as they did when they were younger”. Booo I’m not old.

Anyway I have gestational diabetes (so they say, I am still not convinced). I am having to check my blood sugars four times a day and cut out cookies, cakes and Cokes, the 3 C’s - everything I love. SO no more going to subway and ordering chocolate chip cookies, no not as a side as my main course. Now my blood sugars have been LOW not high.

The baby is measuring a little on the small side which is odd for a baby of diabetic mothers, usually these babies develop a “fat pocket” and get very big in utero. So the Doctor is a little concerned so I am going to the hospital twice a week for non-stress tests and I am having more frequent ultrasounds.

Audrey is busier than ever just as I am slowing down more. She is learning so much every day and is really starting to comprehend things. I know she is going to be a great big sister. Hope to post again soon.

30 weeks

Just a few pictures of me 30 weeks pregnant with Baby #2. We are all very excited to welcome baby into our little family (although I am sure Kizzie is not to thrilled)

I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes so I am learning how to check my blood sugars and keep them better in control. I have affectionately referred to little bit as “honey bun” because I have a little sweet bun in the oven.

4 Babies, baby party + a bounce house

4 little babies will be joining our family in the coming months. Baby Grady Scank is due August 17th, Baby Lawrence is due October 25th, Baby Girl  Foster is due Nov 24th and Baby Genella is due December 27th. The family gave us a baby party to celebrate all of the new babies.

 

WOW it’s a while …….

It’s been a long time since I have posted on our blog and I have no good excuse for it. A lot has happened in the year since my last post so I will try and fill you in. Jeremy Audrey and I moved into a new house in April 2011 and we love it. It was a little bitter sweet, but mostly sweet. It was tough moving from the town house where we started our little family but with arrival of number number two in October we needed more space. Below are a few picture of the new place.

Like I said earlier we are expecting baby number two in October. We decided not to find our what we are having this time so it is very exciting. Audrey is super excited about being a BIG sister and has already been practicing.

Audrey turned two in June and we had a big party for her at the new house. It was a Minnie Mouse theme because she has a new obsession with Mickey Mouse Club House.

Aggie football weekend

We spend most weekends of football season in College Station for Aggie game days. We have lots of fun tailgating with family and friends. Here are a few pictures of the last few weekends.

Summer Saturday 2010

After Audrey’s surgery she was put on oral steroids, they make her a little crazy. Here are a couple of pictures her acting silly on her steroids.

 

 

We spent today at the Houston downtown aquarium. We rode the train through the shark tank and saw the exhibits with all the fish and the white tiger. It was really hot and I am not sure that Audrey knew what to think about it all. Here our some pictures from our fun day.
