I am now going to the doctor weekly. Normally, this wouldn't happen until I was 35 weeks along, but my doctor wants to do weekly NSTs (non-stress tests) on the baby. I had a 2nd ultrasound at my last appointment to check the size of the baby, and he is measuring 2 weeks early! I guess that is ok though, since my doctor said I would be delivering a week early anyway. So, I'll probably have little Gideon either November 6th or 7th...Oh, and I haven't had to start insulin injections yet...
10 weeks to go!

28 weeks
I am so ready for the fall weather to be here!! Sick of being hot all the time! I had my doctor's appointment the other day. Got my Rogham shot since my blood type is Rh negative. Also, got my blood drawn to check for anemia and some other things. Found out that my c-section will be scheduled for a week before my due date, so that I won't go into labor. That puts me delivering on November 6th or 7th. I'm so glad it will be early! I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore!!! Also, I have one more week or so to get my blood sugars under control. I need to exercise 2x's a day (hah) and watch what I eat. I am already taking glyberide a couple times a day to help keep my sugars down, but as my pregnancy progresses, my diabetes is getting worse. So insulin injections might be in my very near future...I'm really quite sick of the whole situation. Need to change my attitude. :)
I've been experiencing RLS (restless leg syndrome) which, I didn't realize until today, is related to my pregnancy. It's not really bad, but still pretty annoying! Also, I'm continuing to have those "bladder spasms" every once in a while. I thought they were bladder infections, but supposedly they are not. Not sure what's happening, but it's VERY annoying!
Daniel is not sure what it means that he's going to have a baby brother. We try to explain it to him, but he still doesn't quite get it. :) He knows that there's a baby somewhere under my shirt... :) Eleven more weeks to go before he "gets" it. I'm starting to feel like it's time to get the house ready for a new baby. I need to re-organize rooms and try to figure out how to fit everything in them! Also, need to get a few big items: dresser, twin-size bed for Daniel, bassinet, double stroller, etc. The garage also really needs to be cleaned out and organized, but that's really beside the point.
Finally, I think we've decided on a name for the baby: Gideon Richard Bruce. We chose Gideon because we both like it (a miracle in and of itself) plus we like the meaning of the name and the story of Gideon in the Bible. Gideon means "mighty warrior" and in the Bible he was called by God as a "mighty man of valor." This is meaningful to me because I pray that this son of ours will be a courageous man for God, especially in this day and age. Of course, Richard is my dad's name and Bruce is Phillip's dad's name. So, this baby will get to be named after both grandpas!! I think that will be special for him. I can't wait to meet this special little boy!
