Time To Update

Ladies and Ladies. We have a heartbeat!!!! We are officially due Jan 27th and are 8w6 today! Our doctors appt on Wednesday went swimmingly. We even got to go in early! I was a bundle of nerves on the way over and once we were waiting for the magical dildo-cam wand to show us the baby, but that’s to be expected. We had a wonderful midwife who seemed just as happy and excited for us to see our baby as we were. And there (she) was! Gorgeous and squid looking. The most beautiful baby ever.  The sent us straight from the camera room to the lab for –surprise- MORE BLOODWORK!! Sadly I got a call yesterday that said my A1C is 5.7, 5.6 is the last normal number they take before its ‘prediabetes’.  Yaaaay. I have to call and schedule a informational/educational class about what this means. But I think I’ll wait until after my July 5th blood appointment gets done and ill ask them to re run my A1C. My brother is diabetic so I pretty much know a ton about it. I wonder if I even need the class. They’ll give me a food pyramid and exercise suggestion and then spend an hour going over things I already have lived with (albeit through my brother). Hubby and did go on a walk last night for exercise. The longest 1.5 miles of my life! I’m not cut out for this!!
