My Three Pregnancies!!

Finding the time to blog lately has been impossible! I recently stopped babysitting for a friend thanks to my demanding diabetes schedule!  I miss the little princess, but it has been nice to wrestle with the boys and cuddle them….if they let me :)

I was thinking about how different each one of my pregnancies has been.  With Jackson, I worked full time and pretty much up until 2 weeks before I had him.  That was fun because it made the pregnancy fly by.

I craved Reese's peanut butter cereal and Taco Bell…ALL THE TIME!  I only gained 19lbs! Gosh I miss that… :)  He was born at 42 weeks….yes he was very comfortable in there!! And we share the same birthday!! He weighed 8lbs and was 21 inches :)

Logan was a different story.  I met Hubby a few months after being on my own with J.  So let's just say I was in a happier place ;) Hubby decided the military was what he wanted to do. He joined, we moved, and it was pretty nice!

I didn't have to work right away but found a job at a coffee place. That was fun!!

I then found out I was pregnant with Logan.  I guess that's what happens after 4 months of no birth control…  :)  Logan decided he didn't want me to work and I had to quit due to some bleeding.

I craved Big Macs with Logan. I could seriously eat one every day. (But I didn't) HEHE :) I gained 35lbs with this big fella!  Logan also decided he wanted to make his appearance early!  He was born at 36 weeks, and weighed a whopping 8lbs 3oz, and was 19in long!  Thank goodness I didn't carry him to 40 weeks!

Now with this baby, it has been difficult from the get go.  Maybe because I am a little older? Or it is a girl?

Gestational diabetes diagnosed at 11 weeks, high blood pressure at one appt, and I cannot gain weight! I have been having some Braxton Hicks as well, and that is not fun!!  I am craving everything I cannot have, from every single sweet treat to nachos, and I am CONSTANTLY starving.

Let's just hope I have an easy birth for all this trouble it is causing in the womb. LOL!!

It's crazy to see how each pregnancy has differed!  I am anxious to know how the anatomy scan goes on Friday. I cannot WAIT!!! I will keep you posted!!

Until next time~ C

Update ;)

Ok. I have been too busy to blog lately!!
So I'm 15 weeks pregnant, and yes it's still taking forever. But good news is I got the ultrasound scheduled for the end of the month and I heard the heartbeat finally yesterday!!
It was in the 150's...that means girl right?! ;) Let's hope!!
So I can't go to an appointment without some sort of challenge coming at me.
I thought I was doing REALLY well with the blood sugar levels. Really, I did.
But turns out the Dr thought otherwise. I'm now on an oral medication until my insulin shots start :(
Yup.
Discouraging!! I had no control over it (besides sticking to my diet, which I did!) so the Dr told me it wasn't my fault. But it still feels like failure!
And insulin??? That's going to be tons of fun... :(
But I will do whatever I can to keep the baby and myself healthy and if that means daily shots then shots it is!!
I have also been writing down some stuff about my previous pregnancies and will be talking about that on here too because eventually I will have my blog made into a book so my kids can see all about their journey of getting here :)

I think I may need some retail therapy soon though... ;)
Have a good day everyone!!
