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.

4+1=5
I know my math facts!
What it really means is we are having another baby!
I had my 9 week 2 day ultrasound yesterday and we have a heartbeat. Baby measured 2.6cm. About the size of a grape. And looked just like it should. Thanks be to God! I have been a wreck.
I LOVE our high risk doctor. Dr. Jelesma, through Spectrum health. He was very up front explained everything, answered all of my questions, and reassured Dan. He asked if we had a church. I said East Saugatuck CRC. He was like hey I am CRC too! This was after we told him we will not be having an abortion if this baby is abnormal. What a great God. He placed us with a believing Doctor who respects our discussions. Who shared how hard it is for him as a Christian to have to offer abortion as an option. We went on with our appointment and talked about many things relating to this baby. At the end he said "May I pray over you?" Does it get any better than that?
To answer some of the questions. No we did not plan this, but God did. Yes we are very happy. Yes we have told the boys. Yes I know how old I am. Yes we are excited. Yes I am nervous.
