Spoke to soon

Well, I spoke to soon. I do have gestational diabetes. Yesterday,I had a message on my machine from my doctor. I failed my glucose tolerance tests. Now I have to test my blood sugar at home 4 times a day. I aslo have to see a nutritionist and change my diet. My doctor is confident with diet and monitoring I can keep it under controll.It just stinks with Christmas just around the corner,all the goodies I'll have to try and stay away from. This will truely test my will power. Poor Pete he'll have to suffer through it with me. And we are both big sugar lovers. I only have 10 weeks to go and I have my eye on the prize, a healthy baby and me!!

Thanksgiving

Well we made it through another Thanksgiving. We had lots of food,not too much left over.We were expecting about 27 people and only had 20 show.Which was fine with me. I wasen't sure where I was going to seat them all. We fit 20 just fine, Pete brought home some tables and chairs from work. We watched a couple of Christmas movies to get ready for the next holiday. One of Pete's marines that came to eat had not seen A Christmas Story so we had to let him see it. That's one of our family traditions, we watch A Christmas Story every year around the holidays.I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
As for my glucose test,no news is good news I suppose. The doctor never called so I'm assume I passed. Unless they mixed up results somewhere along the way. I was taking the test at the same time with an Amy Joy Nelson,I'm Tommye Joy Nelson. She didn't get a call either so I guess we both passed. I'm sure I'm fine.

The Ball

Here we are,on our way to the ball. It's hard to tell in this pictures but my belly is big. Black really is slimming(ha ha).
We had a good time! We left early but I'm sure we didn't miss anything. This was our last ball here on Okinawa. Next one we'll be who knows where. We should find out where we go from here sometime after Christmas.

Dr.Appt.

I went to the doctor today for a check up. Everything is going right along schedule. I have gained a total of 21 lbs. so for and my blood pressure is good. I also took the glucose test and failed,well my levels were raised.So I'm going in tomorrow morning for the three hour test. I have to fast for it. I'll be bored out of my mind and hungry too. I'm not worried though. I had to take the three hour test with Emily and came out clean. I wonder if anemia has any connection with high levels of glucose in the blood. Because I was amemic with her also. I'll let ya know if anything is found or if they want to further test.
My friends and sister-in-law are throwing a baby shower for me Dec.3rd. I'm so excited.I wonder what kind of goodies I'll get. There is alot of better, cooler baby gear out there from when my other two were born.

Halloween

Halloween has come and gone. And we had a bountifully Trick or Treat time. Pete took the kids around the neighborhood, they came home with more candy than I handed out. I stayed home this year and handed out the goodies. I just didn't fell like walking all over the place. Jacob was a goulish vampire and Emily was a goblin ghost. Both were pretty scary. Now it is time to get ready for Thanksgiving. We are having Pete's shop over to the house this year. I'm not sure how many people but I'm sure it more than I have room for in the house. We'll make it work. I won't be making the entire meal by myself I'll have a few helpers. A friend of Pete's is going to deep fry the turkey. I have never had a fried turkey but I hear they are yummy. We plan to have the traditional meal,turkey and the fixins. I hope it turns out well.
