Gearing up for the big day!!!

I promise you that one day I will blog about something other than pregnancy.  

But that day isn't today.

Tomorrow night we are sending our kids to the sitters and having a date. 

Then on Saturday morning we get up, get make up on {I will be doing this, not J}

and going to the hospital.

I'm pretty excited.

I'm trying to stay focused on the reason, not the procedure.  

I can't wait to meet my new little girl.

Our last baby.

My last hospital stay with a newborn.

It's all so bittersweet.  

I appreciate your prayers!!!

Dr's Appointment.

I went to see the specialist today about my diabetes. 

They did an ultrasound and our little girl is doing just fine.

She weighs 6.5 pounds already...uh, yeah.

Time for her to move out.

The Dr said that she isn't HUGE at this point, but I would definitely go early.

Does early mean tomorrow?

I have to be on medication and test my sugar 4 times a day.

Which, may I just say, those finger pokes are killers!

NO!  I am not kidding.

I thought I was going to die.

I didn't. 

And, it didn't even really hurt, but it's so hard to inflict pain on yourself.

I never imagined.

I'm so glad that my medication is oral instead of shots.

I just don't think I could do it!

So, that's the update.

Still pregnant.

Still eating chocolate.

Still here...

for now.

May I complain for a minute?

Thank you.

If I stand normally, this child in my womb is so large that it hurts my back.

So, I stand {or walk} kinda arching my back back a bit.

So, now my back hurts all the time.

I have never been this big while pregnant.

It has messed with my equilibrium. 

Wow.

This is crazy.

Ha.

That's all.

Oh, and my sister in law had her baby this morning.

I'm so happy for her.

But no more complaining together about our pregnancies to each other.

Which is sad.

For me.

I'm sure she is happy as a lark this morning.

I will post a pic of the new little man as soon as I get one!
