Catch Up Time!

Wow!
The summer is flying by. Let's see if I can update.....then I will go back and hit the important parts that have pictures to go along with them!
MaKieley and I have been hanging out at home a lot! Reading and playing outside and doing workbooks!
Our last sonogram was almost a waste of time! The baby (which has been head down since 3 months) was as usual head down but also face back and in my back! They could not get all the pictures they wanted! They poked me and I turned on my side for a few minutes but she would not move for anything!!! I guess we know mid morning is going to be a great naptime for us!!
The doctor says everything is progressing well! I did end up being diagnosed with gestational diabetes again but have had no problem keeping it in control with a strict diet! MY BLOOD PRESSURE has stayed LOW!!! Most of the time it is around 104 over 65! That has been the biggest blessing of all! Despite the doctor not wanting me to travel ... she allowed me to go on vacation as long as I took along prenatal records in case of a needed trip to the hospital!
Vacation was great! MaKieley had so much fun! First we spent a few days in Fredericksburg...we swam, John played tennis and, MaKieley rode not HER horse but one that suited her just fine. Then we went to Sea World for a day! What fun! MaKieley loved every minute of that. It was a lot of walking though! Then on to the Farm to see Pudden and Pap! MaKieley shelled a lot of peas with Pap and picked tomatoes and flowers with Pudden! She even got to ride on Pudden's new PUTT PUTT!
After vacation it was time to rest up! Especially for Mom!
We ended up at the hospital almost a week after we got home! I had had a migraine for three days and the baby had not been moving like normal so they sent us to the hospital for a NST (non-stress test) to check the baby out. They said the baby looked good and gave me a shot to help get rid of my headache and sent me home!
Tomorrow we have another sonogram so hopefully the baby will participate this time and we will have pictures to share with everyone! Well I guess we are getting down to the wire so we better get busy on the nursery and names!
