A Bottle of Glucose
Today was my 27/28 week checkup, including a glucose test, and drum roll....my medicine is working just fine. My blood glucose level needed to be below 130 it was 110, yeah! I have gained way more than I would like to mention right now, but I am going to resume my walking now that my doctor has OK'ed it, I've got to get into shape for this big event.

Leg Cramps, Pee, My FRICKIN Toe!, & AMAZING THINGS!
Above anything I'm about to say, I am exploding with joy and happiness to be PREGNANT!
Now I'd like to say since I weighed at one point in time over 300 lbs most of the things pregnant women complain about, as far as stratch marks and achy joints, I experienced for years 5 times worse. So far this pregnancy thing has'nt been so bad, yeah I gained some weight uh about 1/10 of what I had lost, no biggie pardon the pun. Some back pain here and there but really much less than when I was larger.
With all that said, these past two weeks have been completely different, I finally feel more pregnant than fat. I have lost all sense of balance and completely jacked my big toe and toe nail, the details are too gruesome to share, other than It has now healed twice, just in time for me to stub it and tear it completely open again. I told you ewey gooey.
Then as of last night I'm convinced my bladder has shrunk I woke up Five times to pee cracking my toe on the wall in one effort to make it to the toilet before I wet myself(sorry I spoke of this cursed toe again). Then when I wasn't being awoken by my screaming bladder My calves decided to take turns spasming alternating about every 45 minutes.
I jokingly complain but something also happened last night that was really cool and I'm sure soon will become not so cool... For the first time I was woken up by her! Really, I mean she was bouncing from one side of my stomache to the other, unfortuneately that was followed by a half sleep state walk to the kitchen where I proceeded to eat cuccumber salad and a spoonfull of peanut butter at 12:30 in the morning. I AM DEFINATELY PREGNANT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

6months/24weeks and coming up on October 17th
Well here we are at 6 months and I'm somewhat in disbeleif. So much so, that I am extremely paranoid. Last night at work I squatted to do something, which I won't do again by the way, and I had a little "accident". Well I didn't know for sure it was an "accident", so being an over-protective mother-to-be I called my doctor. I'm really lucky to have a doctor who is extremely accessible to me and I was on the phone with him within minutes. I decided at that point in time I didn't want to go running to the hospital because I have a weak bladder. So he told me to meet him at his office in the morning(this morning) just to reassure me.
I'm glad to say every thing is fine she just finds my bladder to be very cushiony and she's getting bigger, Depends here I come! On the up side I got to see her in the ultrasound again, and she is still a she. We still go back to the Drs on Oct. 23rd. I'm going to try to leave my doctor alone until at least then, not that he makes me feel bad in fact he encourages me to call with any concerns no matter how small. Thank God we found this guy, even though it was in the midst of such a sad time, during our first pregnancy.
I am extremely excited at this time but we are also coming up on October 17th. For most people this day will come and go, unless there is something special like an anniversary or a birthday. However we will be in a quiet mourning for our little ones who were originally to be with us at this time. I know they were only 10 weeks in the making but they were already imbedded in our hearts. Maybe that is the reason for my uneasiness right now.
I know I am blessed at this time and I won't complain as I heard so often in that time that it was meant to be, and maybe it was, but then that means my tears were meant to be and so is the love and longing that I feel for them. So if you would on October 17th please think of Tim, I, and our little ones that would have been here with us. As well as Ava while we wait for her.
