28 Weeks Update of Appointment
I went for my appointment and gestational diabetes test. Lucas's heartbeat was great and he is moving all around! Some kicks are so strong they wake me up at night. I did not pass my hour glucose test for gestational diabetes and I am going for the three hour test Monday, September 28. The doctor said this does not mean I will or will not have it. Some patients fail the hour and pass the three hour. I will have that done on Monday and find out 2 days later. If I do not pass it, I will go to a class to start a diet and that should help. If not I will have to give myself insulin shots but, only until Lucas is born. I will be seeing the doctor every two weeks now. Andrew and I are attending a birthing class on November 14th at the doctors office. I have been very active at work with my kindergarteners. They have been keeping me on my feet all day! It is my first year teaching the inlcusion class. I am going to be starting this week and taking Mondays off until Lucas is born. My joints and muscles from my Scleroderma have been very sore and stiff. I need the extra day on my weekend to rest them so I do not go on best rest! I hope that this works and I can keep working up until Lucas is born. I will keep you posted with my test and my appointments every two weeks.

Hello my little Lucas. This is Grammy. Mommy went to the doctors again to check and see if you are still keeping your end of the bargain and growing into a strong little boy. I think she already knew that you were because she said you have been kicking up a storm. As I said before keep up the good work. I am so proud of you.Do you know my little calendar that I received on Mother's Day is telling me that in 12 weeks I am going to be a Grandma. It is 12 weeks too many if you ask me. I wish it could be tomorrow. I want you to be so healthy so I understand you have to stay in Mommy's belly just a little bit longer.Pappy and I already have a crib waiting for you to sleep in while you are visiting us.It even has a little bear mobile that you can look up at and watch. Although, I don't know if you will be spending much time in the crib because Pappy and I might not ever put you down.Well you just keep on being the best little baby and you enjoy those Mondays off with Mommy from school so she doesn't have to end up doing bed rest.Just think some day you will grow up and be just like one of those little kindergartners going to school and hopefully have a pretty and sweet teacher just like your Mommy.Whoa!!! Grammy is getting way ahead of herself. Let's just get you born and into this world first.I love you soooo much words can't begin to say. Sweet dreams my little Angel. Love,Grammy xxoo

ReplyDeleteHi Emily and Andrew,
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad you can take Mondays off, Emily. A little extra time off your feet is bound to help.It sounds like your Drs. are taking good care of you - that's great. I snooped and read your parents' comments. Those two are jumping out of their skins waiting for Lucas to be born!
Take care! Belle and Mike
