Welp, been awhile since I updated you guys so here we go...

I'm 35 weeks pregnant right now and I have a c-section scheduled for December 27th which is Mark's birthday! Isn't he a lucky daddy? I'd say that's one hell of a birthday gift, wouldn't you? My pregnancy is going really good other than the gestational diabetes but I'm dealing with it. Can't wait to have our little girl in the world. We got the crib already set up and everything. So exciting! I have a feeling she's gonna be a hyper little thing because she never stops moving! We got into a car accident on saturday. (We only had the car for 5 days. Still had the temp tags...figures) Someone ran a red light and broadsided us. I was sent to the hospital for precautions and had to be put on a monitor for 4 hours! It monitors the baby's movements and heartrate and I swear to God and all that is holy that she did not stop moving for 4 hours straight! Now that's an active baby! The nurse couldn't believe how active she was especially for a baby with a mother who has gestational diabetes. I'm not allowed to have near as much sugar as other pregnant women so you can see where it would be unusual but the doctors aren't complaining. They love active baby's and she loves to show off for the doctors. I have doctor appointments twice a week now for NST's (non stress tests) which they basically do the same thing that the hospital did but it only last half an hour. Plus the last ultrasound I had (Nov. 17th) the doctor commented on her big feet! It was meant to happen though. I have big feet, my dad has big feet and so does Mark.

Yep, a week and a half and I'll be full term. I'm gonna miss not being able to feel her wiggling around inside me but at the same time I really want to see her face and be able to hold her in my arms. We can't say she was planned but we won't love her any less. We always wanted kids right from the start but we wanted to wait till were finacially stable but the truth is you'll never be finacially stable for a baby. Besides, I figure I wouldn't have gotten pregnant if it wasn't meant to happen. I feel that we are both ready for this baby and we're getting very impatient. A lot of people say that a baby is the ultimate test to any relationship but I honestly don't think it's gonna affect our relationship in any negative way. We both want this and we're both prepared. I think all it can do is bring us closer together.

We're gonna be getting maternity pictures in a couple weeks and I'll be posting them on my myspace page which everyone can veiw. It's not private. We'll be getting pictures of the family around Jan. 12th and those will be posted as well on my myspace. All of her ultrasound pictures are posted there as well so feel free to take a look.
