Hi friends
I had my weekly scan and OB appointment today. All went really well - Kaden did everything right again and is still head down, yay. I do worry he will turn again because he moves a LOT but I know it is very unlikely at this stage so I need to just relax and not poke him all the time to try and figure out his position, ha ha. I absolutely love my tech person - she always takes time to show me my baby and really tries to get some good 4D views. She is not successful because of the way baby is laying but it is so sweet of her to try. But I did get to see his cute little profile, his hands and his feet.
My OB is raising my GD medicine again because some of my breakfast numbers are slightly high. I can't wait to not have to bother with this anymore. I don't mind the actual diet so much, it is more that nothing makes sense - what I can eat one day, I can't eat the next. It is so frustrating. I have lost almost 2 pounds in one week, probably because of the diet.
I asked my OB when I need to stop Lovenox (blood thinning medicine) and he did say 12 hours before labor, if I want an epidural that is. I am not planning on it, but if Kaden turns out to be posterior like my Kaleb, then I think I will go for it this time. Gosh, back labor was so painful! My OB did say he could induce me at 39 weeks if I wanted to. Something to consider. I would love to have him at 39 weeks, but don't really want a drastic inducement either. He said if I am dilated he might just break my water and that will be it. I think that sounds okay.
After my appointment I went to the monthly 25c sale at our local second hand kids shop. I had fun finding some things for Kaden. I still can't believe he will be here in 4-5 weeks!! I think my toddler is finally getting that there's a baby in mommy's belly. At the store he saw someone carrying a baby so he said 'baby' then turned to me and pulled up my shirt and said 'baby'. Of course I pulled my shirt back down quickly, but it was still pretty cute!!
I am so happy to have made it to 35 weeks and that all is going so well with Kaden. But that doesn't mean I don't have my tough moments. I did crack it in the waiting room today because 3 ladies were chatting away, one was expecting a girl and they were all talking about how wonderful the father/daughter relationship is, and it made me think of Kathleen and how my sweet hubby doesn't get to experience that. I had to leave the waiting room for a while and gather myself.
There is so much to celebrate and be joyful about, but I will always miss my Kathleen.
Thanks everyone for your love and support and prayers over the many past months.

Aww hon you are doing so well! The home stretch is in your sights! I'm so excited to see your little one. I understand how u feel about Kathleen cause even though I have Cristiano I still have my sad moments. I watched "Marley & Me" this weekend and girl I cried and cried while watching it and for the life of me I just couldn't stop sobbing. I think I was just getting all the hurt out somehow. You just concentrate on keeping healthy and loving Kaden and everything will be great. I wish I could see your little ones in person to smother them both with kisses!

Fantastic to hear that all is going well with Kaden. It's really surprising sometimes what makes us upset about our lost children. I remember sitting in the hairdressers and reading a magazine. There was a picture of a footballer with his young son and they were wearing matching shorts. Blubbing away in no time. Lucky hairdresser knew me and just left me to it for a few mins. I don't know that these feelings will ever go away, but maybe a bit less raw one day. So we are nearly there...... personally I'm feeling pretty terrified at the thought of labour, but no one else is going to do this for me, are they? It will all be over soon enough and we will have our babies. Keep well xx

Hey Karin,4 or 5 weeks that is all you have to wait to hold that ilttle baby boy. I am still keeping you and your family in all of my prayers and of course in my thoughts. It always helps when you have people that nice and helpful at your doctors appointments. I know what you mean about leaving the waiting room. We will have our moments. I will always miss my babies. Its not fair. But, I cant wait until you have that baby so you can eat come choclate!!! ha ha Take care Karin!!!

That's so cute that your little one is excited about the baby! You are already so close to your due date I can't believe it. When you deliver you have to make sure you check up on those of us still waiting. I miss my baby girl too, like you, more than I like to admit. I was thinking today about being surrounded by males. Even my cat is male! lol! But I love them all.

Karin, I know the GD makes things tough, but you are almost there and I'm excited for you!!

Karin, glad to hear things are going good. I'm sure baby Kaden will be here before you expected. Those diabetic babies grow faster than expected sometimes.... that's why I'm so freaked that there's a chance of more than 1. And you know I'm diabetic... so I know what you mean by you can eat one thing one day and eat the same thing the next and get such big differences in the morning. I don't know what you eat for breakfast but cereal is very tricky for that. The best things: toast, eggs, such... I have such a problem with cereal and my nurses say the sugar last awhile in the morning. Good luck girlie.

Aww Karin, I am glad everthing is going well with Kaden and you. Not too much longer and you will be holding your sweet baby boy. I wish you all the best!
Quiver Full - Friday, 29 Jan
so so glad all is still well! 35 weeks you have come so far! just a word: my personal experience is that with my labors that my water broke first i had a much more painful labor. the 4 that it broke at delivery were MUCH easier than the 2 where it broke first. induction labors in general are usually much more difficult. my water broke naturally but i'm told those labors are similar to inductions. i know with the GD you may not have a choice but if it looks like you would be okay to wait you may want to consider not accepting the induction, considering you would like to go natural! my first was posterior AND my water had broke first. VERY painful. i made it though...drug free. but i am sure no matter what, even if baby is big and you have to induce, it will all work out! and if you end up with an epidural it is not the end of the world. holding baby kaden safe and sound will be what matters most! I am so excited that he is almost here and can hardly wait to see pictures and hear all about how it goes. i have a lot of prayer invested in this little guy!!!!
