Its been a while

It has been a while since we last posted. The fact is we have been pretty boring. We have been staying close to home doing a lot of chores around the house. Bruce has been working in the back yard and we are re-doing our master bathroom shower. Bob Villa/Bruce has been learning a lot lately!!! Last weekend Bruce's parents were in town for the NASCAR race. It was good to spend time with them and we enjoyed their company. This weekend we are going to our niece Maggie's cross country meet. We also intend to get in some good football watching as well :)

We had another Dr's appointment today. We are in our 3rd trimester so we go every two weeks from here on out. Crazy that we are getting this close!!! Little O is doing great, he/she has the kicking thing down to a science. She/he generally gets really active around 8-9pm. His/her heartbeat was at 154 today so right on target. I have been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, so that is not great news for me and my love of pasta. This will require more doctors appointments, tests, and monitoring by a dietitian. Dr. Smith will also now be checking little O's size. One of her main concerns for the baby is that there is a greater chance of Little O getting too big now... who would have thought we would have to worry about my kid getting too big??? Other than, baby should be just fine as long as I monitor it well and listen to the doctors orders. We have a strong family history of diabetes on both sides of my family but with all luck this is limited to pregnancy only and it will go away after the baby is born.

Have a great week everyone! I will try to get some pictures posted soon! I could post pictures of us laying on the couch watching TV but who really cares to see that.
