The First of Many

I am a first time blogger. I have never blogged before, hence, my first time. I was inspired by my eldest sister Valerie to start my own blog after reading hers. I thought to myself I am a busy lady, and my family is busy as well, how can I keep everyone informed on how things are going? Then the idea of blogging occurred to me! If I blog about it, then all my family and friends can read it in their own time, and be caught up on my life.





I am a busy lady. I am now 30 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. I am getting married next year, (May 8 in fact) so I am busy getting all the plans set. I am not working at this moment, although I must say that being a house wife is a job by itself. Everyday there is something to clean, something to organize, something to cook. I must say that I am enjoying being a house wife, and soon-to-be mommy. I do have my days where I have had enough, but everyone has those days.





I have had a tough 30 weeks. I was sick and tired all day the first 3 months, and lost about 5-6 pounds, which for a girl who has always been small, losing weight is never a good thing. I didn't want to eat anything, things I LOVED tasted and sounded awful. Poor Kevin was at his wits end because he tried so hard to please me and he just couldn't. There was nothing anyone could do. Then came my 4-5 month. I was less tired, and much happier. Food was sounding great again, and I was gaining good weight. I was was looking forward to eating whatever I wanted and gaining that weight. I was excited to watch my belly grow and get bigger, and feel my child's movements, and finding out the sex. Then I got the news that I have a Glucose Deficiency. Which means it's pre-gestational diabetes. I had to go on a diet! A DIET!!!!!!! I had never, NEVER been on a diet in my life. I never, NEVER had to watch what I eat. I was very upset, but I did the best I could.





Then came week 24, the starting of my last trimester. That's when everything changed. I feel great, I have a wonderful belly full of baby. The baby kicks all the time. But that is also when I got the news that I have full blown gestational diabetes. I can not stress this enough, I HATE HATE HATE THIS STUPID DIET!!!! I want to eat, I want to eat everything and I can't. I do not eat whatever I want because I am thinking of the child growing inside me. Knowing that I am in charge of this new life inspires me to keep to my diet, and I am. It doesn't make it any less hard. Everyone tells me 'It's only for 2 more months' Again, it doesn't make it any less hard. Plus, I have to make sure I am gaining enough weight. I am supposed to gain 1 pound a week. 1 pound a week!!!!!! My body has never worked that way. So I am on this diet which really isn't the greatest diet to gain weight, and I have people monitoring my sugar in take. I prick myself 4 times a day to check my sugar, and I am constantly thinking about how much weight to gain and my food in take for the day. It's hard work. But I do it because I love my baby boy. I love this being inside me more then words can say. I do all of this for him. I do not like it, nor do I have to like, but I do it for him, for my little boy.





I hope those of you who will read this will enjoy it. I hope that you will want to read more, and I will be posting more. There is more news to come on the baby, family, and planning of wedding, and my life in general. This is the first of many that I hope you will enjoy.
