Do you ever feel like things just happen continually sometimes? Not always good, not always bad, but they seem to come in clumps? People laugh at us when they hear about all of the changes we are doing all at once. There are days we think we are a little nuts, too. But, it keeps life exciting!
After a two week battle with my OB office, I will be starting treatment for Gestational Diabetes this week. I have been trying to have them repeat my glucose test to be sure, but they determined today that the risk is too high and I need to begin treatment. With my levels being as high as they were added to my already high risk based on the large size of my previous babies, they don't want to take a risk on waiting. I know NOTHING about diabetes, so am somewhat freaked out about it. Any insight? I know many people face this every day and I will eventually know what I need to do to minimize the impact. I am trying to look at the positive side and realize that with this new discovery mixed with the reality that they had already planned to induce me early before this, at least we will meet our little Flower sooner than we thought. AND...I'm pushing hard to have another ultrasound SOON so they can get a good indicator on size.
We have been busy cleaning and packing. Well, Mike has been busy cleaning. He has spent almost every day at the new house scrubbing and getting things ready. We have selected carpet and will start the painting soon. It seems crazy to me that 2 years ago at this time we were doing the same thing in preparation of our move South. We had the power and water turned on last week and everything works...everything!!!! We were concerned that we would need to replace or repair a few things, but it looks like we are safe!
The kids are LOVING the new house. It is completely empty, but they play together and watch videos on our portable player. They beg to go to "the new house." We are excited to start life there. The two of them have really begun to establish quite the friendship. They have their moments, but for the most part they have begun to really enjoy each other. Paige will sit and read to him, which makes them both happy. His imagination has developed so much lately, so they are able to actually play together. Paige typically creates the scene and dictates his role, but he willingly plays along. They have even started asking to have sleepovers after Movie Night on Fridays.
It makes me think of my sister and the friendship we started so early. I'm so glad they have each other...and another one to join the party soon! I have been frequently overwhelmed by the blessings God has given me. I have so much to be thankful for!
