Applegate Update

It has been SSSSOOOO long since my last blog! Luckily it's all good things happening that has kept me away. David LOVES his job and can't wait to move a little closer to cut back on the commute. I can't wait to move so I can rest a little before our little guy gets here! No names picked out so far but we will keep you updated. Suggestions still welcome :)

We are moving into David's parent's basement apartment at the end of January when I am finally done with work. Moving when your 9 months pregnant will be stressful but the people at church have been so nice and supportive! I even have a girl who offered to help me come pack!

I have a church baby shower this Saturday. My first one and I am so excited! I'll have to take pictures and post. It has made this week go by really show but when I am finally done with the week I will be two weeks away from being able to stay home for a little while so I am still happy about the waiting.

Our little guy is good as far as we know. I was supposed to have a check up on the 3rd but they have rescheduled it FOUR times now and I will be going two months without a check up. That must mean I'm pretty healthy!!

We had a little scare at the beginning of December. I had a fill in Dr. for my November apt. who didn't tell anyone that I needed a follow up ultra sound. My little guy was just being difficult and didn't let the ultra sound tech get a good shot of the right side of his heart.

Well when I went back in December they told me they could squeeze me in that day so I stayed. She said the heart looked great but he was HUGE (even though my belly measured small)! She started asking me all these questions and got me a little scared at that point.

He was supposed to be just climbing up to around 2 lbs at that point and he was over 3.5 lbs. She said I probably had gestational diabetes and that I needed to get tested asap. Luckily that morning I was on my way to my first sugar test.

I barely failed that sugar test and had to go back for the 3 hour test. I passed that one and was told I just make big babies. That should be interesting in a few months. I'm fine with big babies as long as they do not get David's head!!

Anyways that's been our life so far. One tiny bit of drama but other than that our few months have been great! I'll post pics of the baby shower soon.
