So I guess it's been awhile since I've blogged.....I know, slacker! Summer has been pretty boring around here and now here it is 2am the night before school starts and I can't sleep! So I figured I'd update the blog just a bit. Although I'm too lazy as of now to upload some of the funny things that have gone on lately....guess those will come later.
Let's see, first off, the good news, I finally gave in and read the book 'Twilight' for the first time ever! I know, I know....most of you are now finished with the 4th book and here I'm just starting the first, but give me a break. I am NOT a reader. I was "peer-pressured" into reading it. I honestly had no desire to read it. I figured though with my insomnia lately I could do something useful with my time and read, but it actually didn't happen that way.......
Which brings me to the other part of my news, "the bad news." I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes last week in my 32nd week of pregnancy. YUCK! I had failed my 1 hour glucose test, so I had to go back last week and take the dreaded 3 hour glucose test.....so what else to do with a 3 hour time slot while sitting in a boring waiting room, kidless none-the-less, while watching the time tick away and wish you could turn the clock??? Yep, I took the book with me and started reading! I finished last night, and you were all right.......it was good! And it did suck me in! Now, thanks to Kim, I have 'New Moon' in my hands and can starting reading it soon!
Back to the gestational diabetes.....I am NOT happy about the news. For one, a pregnant woman in her last trimester who is used to eating pretty much anything she wants will now have to dramatically alter her diet! Which, I guess really is okay since I only have a short while left to go and supposedly the diabetes disappears instantly after delivery. However, I am afraid I will be in the few percentage statistics that "might" develop diabetes later on in life! That scares me. AND I'm afraid my baby might develop diabetes later in life too......LET'S HOPE NOT....but it is a possibility. So now, I am being labeled as "high risk" and my OB doctor that I have been with since I had my first-born and has delivered each of my babies since, is sending me to a perinatalogist for the remainder of my pregnancy. How fun, a doctor I won't even know will end up delivering this baby now. Not thrilled, but I guess if it makes my baby and I more safe than so be it. Which also means I most likely won't be delivering at the "new" hospital here in town that EVERYONE has gloated about being "resort" like. Not fair. So, this coming week I go to my first appointment at the perinatal office and see what kind of life changes will be taking place soon and how to alter my lifestyle for the time being. Wish me luck!
So other than that exciting news....nothing much going on around here. Pretty boring. The kids have been cooped up in the house all summer since Mariah broke her ankle and swimming wasn't an option much longer. Both Mariah and I are excited for school to start. She is a little apprehensive because she will still be on crutches for the first couple weeks of school, and well, that is just no fun! I don't blame her. As much as I'm sad to see the sleeping in days go bye-bye, I'm also ready for my family to get back on a scheduled routine. Jaden will start preschool next month. He is excited for that especially since his cousin Gavin will be in his same class! So we're looking forward to that.
Speaking of looking forward to.........I AM SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE HEAT GOING AWAY!!! Soooo ready to be done with the gross, disgusting hot days. I'm ready to let my kids free and go outside to play instead of being cooped up inside all day. I'm ready for the park playdates. I'm ready to enjoy some cool weather. So here's to saying goodbye to "summer vacation" and hoping for the cool down to begin......sooner rather than later! I know it's AZ and it stays stinkin' hot through September, but I hope we might just get lucky!
So that's that for now. Hopefully I can go fall asleep now since it is now officially a school morning and no more sleeping in! yay.

oh my gosh!! i am so sorry. at least your dr isn't taking any chances and is sending to to a specialist. maybe they will take you early ;)
Ugh! So sorry about the GD! That sucks!! But I am glad you read Twilight and liked it!!! Crystal has my Eclipse when you get that far have her just give it to you when she is done.
That stinks about the GD, but like you other friend said, maybe your baby will get to come early!!
Yeah...So glad you finally decided to get into Twilight! SOOOO GOOOOD!
Yuck!I had to go to a perinatologost when I was preg with Mitchell. Not my favorite. Are you going to PPA(Phoenix perinatal association)?I never saw the same doc twice, and the doctor that delivered my baby was a stranger. But he was really good! They are all very competent. They are right next to Banner Desert, which is probably where you will be having your baby. They have a pretty new maternity ward, and I have heard it is nice. I missed it by like a week when I had Mitchell. Let us know how those dietary changes are going! Now you have me nervous for my test this week!
So sorry Melanie, to hear about the Gestational Diabetes! That is such a bummer. Let's hope that it does go away after the baby, like they said. That'd be good! So glad you finally blogged again! I've missed your great posts and it's been too long! You are in my prayers girl!
Well good for you in giving into reading it. I was not a reader until I got sucked into her books. I LOVE them! So glad you are enjoying those.
As for the GD, Im so sorry! That is a bummer, but if you need anything...Im just a call away. If I can help, I would be more than happy to. Good luck with that!
Yeah for school, and the heat on it's way OUT...just not soon enough yet..for me anyway.
I have been womdering about you. Sorry to ehar about the diabetes...BUMMER! I have read and loved all 4 books of the Twilight series. Twilight I think is still my favorite. I just LOVE the relationship with Bella and Edward and that is where it began.:) You won't be disappointed with any of the others though.
P.S. Did you get the invite to my blog? Did I do the right email address?>
