It's been awhile, but we finally got out and took a few 30 week pictures. It's been a trying time since I last blogged. My sugar test came back high, so I was sent back for a 3 hr test. That came out high too. So, after all the nasty sugar drinks and all those pokes, I am now diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Oh yay! I'm on a diabetes diet plan and taking my sugar 2 hrs after meals. I need to control my sugar with diet, but some days it doesn't matter what I do. We have been working through it and Michael is trying to reinforce positive thinking in this frustrated Mommy. I'm not a medicine taker and just want my body to take care of this sweet boy the way it needs to. My lovely sister tells me to do what I can do and thats all I can do. I repeat this to myself all the time. The first 2 weeks of taking my sugar went well and the doctor said everything was looking good. The second 2 weeks is about to come to an end. We will see how things are looking on Tuesday. It's been harder to keep my sugar at the level they are wanting, but I think controlling by diet will continue another 2 weeks as long as the ultrasound looks good. Enough about all that!
As of today we have about 2 months to go!! I'm so excited to see Noah and get to hold him! The doctor was going to get a 3d shot of his face at the last appointment....but that little stinker wouldn't have it. He was hiding from the camera like his Daddy would!! Hopefully this Tuesday he will let us see him!!! His movements have gotten stronger. Some days I swear his foot is going to kick through my belly. He is even letting Daddy see and feel his movements without teasing now. Noah used to move all around until I motioned for Michael to feel! Maybe he gets a little bit of that orneriness from me?!

I think we have finally gotten Noah's room mostly finished!!! We still need to take some pictures with a real camera, but here are a few phone pictures for those that just can't wait...like me!
I'm excited for the baby shower here in Lubbock on August 3rd and we can get a little more baby stuff in the room!! Yes, you should all be getting an invitation in the mail soon!!! I want to see you all here!
Our cloth diaper stash we have been working on. Yes, we are going cloth...so check out all the cute stuff and bless us with more!! I think we have enough newborn size, but we definitely need larger sizes. We have enjoyed a neat shop here in town, Green Dazzle Baby. They have all kinds of cloth diapers stuff. They even have a room in the back for registries, so soon our stuff should be up so you don't have to guess at what in the world to get!
Oh and I don't have a picture yet, but the rural mail lady from Milnesand gave Mom and Dad a big bag of clothes for 0-3 month, so I think we are good with that size! We didn't register for any clothes since they change so often, but all sizes are needed and we don't mind hand me downs either!
Well get to it and put August 3rd on your calendars! It's a family thing, so bring everyone and come enjoy some time with Michael and I and celebrate Noah with us!!
