28wks

We are now 28wks, and on monday we had our high risk fetal echo ultrasound and everything looked good with his heart! Bronson is weighing in at 3lbs 11oz (Dreycin weighed 3lbs @ 28wks)......and there is now a rise of concern that he is too big. We go back in 4wks for another growth scan. We just did the gestational diabetes testing at the beginning of June and I was 89, in a range of 65-139 so relatively low on the scale. So they want to re-test me in 2 more weeks to see if that is why Baby Bronson is growing BIG. I should mention that I do have a genetic predisposition for diabetes, because my father, and his mother and....so on have had diabetes. I went ahead and got the information for the diabetes diet for 1800 calories, because I really dont want to gain too much more weight. im at 16lb weight gain right now, and thats with doing the elliptical /or exercise 3x a week. I also CANNOT stand the freaking heat here right now, I am vowing to stay in as much as I can. My doc thinks this is why I have been getting dizzy spells when we go out in the damned heat! It would be nice if I didnt have so many dr appointments......even though Derek has been off ive been so busy with appointments, sometimes two a day. Sucks moving getting established with new drs for 5million different reasons! Derek mentioned that on my last rant I failed to mention that we are allergic to Albany, no really we have not stopped sneezing or taking allergy meds since we got here. I think I have gone through 6 boxes of kleenex, and there just isnt a whole lot I can do while pregnant! oh joy!

My wonderful husband finished our project of painting the dresser and nightstand we got from a consignment store for Bronson(we already got a convertible crib to toddler bed on craiglist)! We went with a navy blue, that sort of turned out royally navy blue. They are so nice, and are going to go great with our theme which is sea animals with blues. We also ordered some really cool sea themed knobs and are waiting for them to come in!

We are so blessed to have my mom come visit us this week, she should be here anytime tonight but her flight keeps getting delayed due to some thunderstorms....and then next week when she is leaving on wednesday my BF from grad school Stef and her son Lance are coming for a 1wk visit! I cant believe anyone would wanna come visit us in this craphole of a place, Georgia! With the gnats...the heat, and the limited places to go....Derek says "I dont know why anyone would wanna live here."
