Belly Pics - 31 Weeks

31 Weeks - 9 To Go!!!!

I think we finally have the daycare issue solved! We have a appointment with an infants only daycare center in Mankato. We toured it once already a while back, so we are going to take a look again and get registered. Thankfully they have an opening for January.

Update on Grandma: She is in a nursing home in Blooming Prairie now and seems to be doing better. She still has not gotten her speech back from the stroke, but she is able to move her arms and legs again and eat semi-solid food. The doctors say it can take months for her speech to come back - if it does, so we are still hoping she will improve in that area too.
I am going to try and have Kandi take some belly pictures for me tonight - so those will be posted today or tomorrow.

Also, Congratulations to Steph & Chris on their first baby due in March and Janet & Arik on their third baby due in April! Baby Luscomb will have lots of new playmates!

30 Weeks, 1 Day

I had my 30 week doctor's appointment today. Nothing too exciting, we listened to the heartbeat and it is in the 150's. I was told I had to cut down on the amount of glucose I take in. My glucose level from the gestational diabetes screening was 137 and 140 is abnormal, so I am pretty high. But it is nothing to get too worried about. This was also my last 4 week appointment, now I am on the 2 week appointments.

We are having a daycare delimma, we still haven't found a for sure place yet. We thought we had it all settled, but it turns out the place we were planning on is not going to work out. We looked at another place today that I thought for sure would be the one, but now after seeing it I am not sure. I think my expectations are just a little too high for these daycare centers. So I am not sure what we are going to do. We may just have a spot held at the center we looked at today and then in January check out some home daycares that have openings. It is a good thing Chad is able to stay home until we find something - that way we can be a little more picky. Hopefully at that point we will be settled in a new house in Mankato too!

I will have to try and remember to put some belly pics on tonight. It is getting pretty big! I am already worrying about getting rid of it as fast as I can once the baby is born. I think I am going to have a lot of work to do!

29 years (for me) and almost 29 weeks (for baby)!

I am not very good at keeping up with this! I am really trying to remember to keep at it, but things have been crazy! I thought since it is my birthday, I will make an effort today. Happy Birthday to me! I just got some pretty flowers from my wonderful husband (that thought today was the 31st this morning). They even have mini snickers in the vase - just what I need!

Lisa's wedding reception is tomorrow night, so I am heading back to Austin this afternoon to help get that all set up. It should be fun! I am hoping it is not really hot and humid. The heat is torture on me and especially my feet and ankles. At least my feet and ankle swelling goes down if I go in the A/C for awhile.

I got a letter from the clinic saying I passed my gestational diabetes test and my hemoglobin test, so all is going well so far. This baby is definitely growing and kicking and moving like crazy. I have my next appointment on August 13th and after that I start going in every two weeks. I think at 36 weeks I start going every week. Eleven or so more weeks and we will find out what the little one is! Then I can FINALLY go shopping for all those cute little outfits.

My Grandma is back in the hospital again. She was able to live at the Cedars for 4 days and was pretty happy about it. She had a stroke Tuesday morning and so far has not regained her speech or movement on her left side. So far she has not really showed any improvement, but she has not really gotten any worse either. The doctors told my Mom and Dad that she could still snap out of it, so I guess we will wait and see.
