My mood while writing this blog: In Love

I am not really sure what to say... Just thought i would write a new blog...

Well as of two weeks when i was 35 weeks pregnant i was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and now i have to watch my diet and it's so hard nothing seems to be bringing my blood sugar level down... The doctor doesn't think i need medication for it, but they also don't want to induce me because my baby boy's lungs will be too immature... I want him in there as long as possible because i was told that if he is born with my sugar level too high he could have seizures which could cause brain damage, or he could have a lung disease which is also bad... So i plan to go full term or to 39 weeks to offer my baby the best chance at life...

Ok so moving on to something positive...

My Partner is due home after six months from being away in Afghanistan on the 30th october, which is next thursday... He came home for a 10 day visit in August... On the day he had to fly back to Afghanistan, we were lying in bed and all i could do was cry i just didn't want to let him go... It was really hard for me, being pregnant and alone without him... But we both got through it and i can not imagine life without him...

Our first baby is due on the 13th November... Which will bring Chris and i closer than what we were before, which is impossible to imagine since we were extremely close before this miracle baby... He is my best friend, soul-mate, and life support... I couldn't breathe without him...

This baby was made from love... So i plan to make his nursery out of love... We have purchased all his nursery items but can't set it up just yet till we move into our new house... Which i can't wait to do in a new town, new people and a new life with my two boys...

I am extremely excited and scared about giving birth... But with the support from Chris i know i can do it... Just hope i last another week till he gets here next thursday...

Good Luck Ladies, i wish you all the best with your bundles of joy that have arrived or waiting to arrive!
