More Jaxon Baby Book Pages

Early

Well not to be out done by her brother Kaylee has decided to shake up some excitement in our lives. Jaxon arrived at 37 weeks, which is just making it to term, and he was 10 lbs and 4 oz, 21 inches long. I did not have gestational diabetes with Jaxon. I do have gestational diabetes with Kaylee, which maybe a factor in the events which occurred this week. Wednesday I started having lower back pain and severe pelvic pressure, it felt like right before my water broke with Jaxon. I know she had just dropped and figured it was pain and pressure from that. Unfortunately it did not ease or go away. After having my loving husband and daddy insist on me calling the doctor I did Friday morning when the office opened. Friday the pressure and pain was immense and I was at work hoping they would just say it was normal pain. I was ready to put on my big girl panties and work through it but when I talked to the nurse she was not happy. I was made a 1:00 Dr.'s appoint at the office site next to the hospital I will be delivering at just in case, which honestly started to freak me out a bit. I was 33 3/4 weeks along, too early for my taste. My coworkers were awesome. Multiple coworkers quickly offered to take my patients and got me out of work post haste. The covering physician I saw stated I was experiencing signs of preterm labor. Which to him was not surprising since I have gestational diabetes and because Jaxon just made it to 37 weeks when he came. My blood pressure, blood sugar and other labs were all good. Kaylee's head is right on my cervix and I am starting to efface but not dilate. I was cleared to return to normal activity and just try to rest as much as possible. I follow up with My doctor Wednesday and I am hoping they will do an ultrasound to see how big Kaylee is. I am still having pressure and back pain but it is not constant or as severe as it was on Friday. Every pray that if she does come early she is strong and her lungs are developed enough.

Baby Shower

My friend Becca threw me a baby shower. It was on a Tuesday night and we had a wonderful turn out of friends and family. I feel so blessed and I am still overwhelmed by everyone's generosity. We had a great time. Kaylee's arrival is just around the corner and I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has passed. Here are some Pictures from that night.

MIA

It's been a bit since I blogged. I've entered the 3rd trimester fatigue. Trying to manage a new diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes. Also Jaxon has had a massive ear infection and we have had to put ear drops in daily. The first time I administered the ear drops Jaxon said "mommy hurt me". It broke my heart. Busy Busy Busy. I've also been in high speed nesting mode. This is short mainly because my brain is scattered. I'm adding pictures of Kaylee's room and new ones of silly Jax. Please pray for me as a little drama has occurred at work and with my hormones at an all time high it has become hard to ignore. Hope everyone is well.

Busy Week

It's been a very busy week and as we prepare for Kaylee's arrival I'm sure it will stay this way. I had my root canal Monday. I'm so happy to have that pain gone. Wednesday I got to hear Kaylee's heart beat and her growth is right on schedule. The bad news as we had feared is that I have gestational diabetes. I have to take the 3 hour glucose tolerance test next Thursday to find out if I need insulin. I have this week to work on a diabetic diet to help control my blood sugar. I SO want something sweet. I pray that I can control my blood sugar with diet or an oral medication. Just a short up date this week. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Oh MY TOOTH!!!

Last Thursday night the left side of my mouth started hurting. By Friday morning I was in a lot of pain but I didn't want to miss work so I went in. I couldn't eat the pain was so bad. My wonderful coworkers covered my patients while I ran to the dentist. He said the left side of my jaw was totally inflamed. and I have possibly 2 abcessed teeth. He started me on antibotics and gave me some pain meds. I meet with a specialist this Wednesday. Since I am pregnant my dentist wanted me to have a specialist evaluate me, that way if I do need a root canal, the specialist can do it faster, since I will not be able to take the normal meds for the procedure. Isn't it enough to be pregnant, chase a 2 year old and work now this!!! I know God does not give us more than we can handle, so I just pray that he wraps his hands around me at this time. I broke down crying at work at lunch time Sunday because I was so hungry and I couldn't chew what I brought for lunch. My coworker Jan, Momma Jan, was having lunch with her daughter so she called her and had her bring me something soft to eat. I am so blessed to have such caring coworkers. God's blessings come from everywhere and in ways and at times you don't expect.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great week.

Nap Please!

Jaxon has been refusing to take an afternoon nap and his morning naps have been really short which means he has been a booger bear. I knew it would catch up with him so yesterday after dinner while we were cleaning up he got really quiet, Danger, Danger!!! We found him passed out on a mound of pillows in the middle of the living room floor. He was so hard to wake up and not happy when we did so.
