Lately

I decided just to compile some pictures that describe the last several weeks, so, here we go:

Ohio Cornfields
Family Reunion in Xenia, Oh. Above the family (minus Josiah, Francesca, and Arden), below Grandpa and Grandma Battaglia and Grandpa's brother, Uncle Bob and his wife Aunt Collette (they let us borrow their jag while on our honeymoon!)

The gold, silver, and bronze medal winners of Bocci Ball :)

Around home: watering my hydrangeas!
Lots of laundry
learning to grocery shop on a very tight budget while having diabetes...
making yummy snacks for my hubby :)
hubby, working on the car that is almost dead. Therefore: new car in the near future.
Baby showers and such...
Gestational diabetes: testing my blood four times a day. and as of yesterday I will be taking insulin before breakfast.
Multiple doctor appointments during the week. Mondays I have an ultrasound to make sure she is practicing her breathing amongst other things. Thursday is the non-stress test where the monitor her heart rate for about 30 minutes (if she cooperates!)


And, yes, I'm still pregnant :) There we are, around 33 weeks (two weeks ago)...
Baby girl's room: we've been setting things up and organizing!
Her dresser with some freshly washed and folded baby girl clothes, love it!
The munchkin herself as seen in a 4d ultrasound... gotta love technology!
Our crib!
Stuffed diaper caddy that needs to be straightened out :)

Well, that's about it folks. I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

My last day of work was over two weeks ago and I'm loving being home! I have been super busy, which is good. I've also been able to get lots of rest, which is also good! I have loved just being home and getting things done that I typically did not have much time for.

We don't know for sure, but we may be getting induced one to two weeks early - sometime between September 5th and 12th ( a common result of gestational diabetes).
So, maybe next time I post it will be for a baby watch! ;)

Katie,

I have only met you once when you came to colorado for a visit when you were pregnant. I just had to comment and tell you how cute your room is and to encourage you with your diabetes. My husband has diabetes and right when I found out I was pregnant I also found out I had diabetes so have been dealing with it too. It isn't the most fun, but it sure has helped me reorganize some priorities. Take care of yourself so you don't see it turn into full blown diabetes.

I am praying for you.
