One of the nurses asked me this morning what pregnancy this was for me. When I said it was number 5, I was kind of shocked!! That is a lot of babies.
Things are going well. My blood sugars are good. A1C may not agree. :( Blood pressure was good, although I have been having some mild swelling. It better stay mild, I have no desire to do any bed rest this pregnancy. Heart rate 170. They transposed my weights so it looked like I gained 12 pounds this month. LOL Really I gained 3 pounds. Ultrasounds every month from here till the end. Thyroid checked out so-so. There is a small nodule/cyst on the right side. More blood work and another ultrasound in December.
Next ultrasound is June 15. I am excited for the boys to see the baby. Grayson thought is neat to hear the heartbeat this morning. Benjamin what to know what it is in a bad way. I am undecided. As with the boys we will not be telling you the name until the baby is born. If you really want to know I may take a bribe.
We are cloth diapering again. Dan is only contracted to work through September. So that's why we are CDing, on top of that it so much better for the earth and the baby. It was a struggle to decided at first but then when we sat down and talked about the price of diapers and wipes, and how long he could be jobless, and then going back to school well it was a no brain-er.
