Well the big day is over. We went for our big appointment yesterday afternoon and found out we are havinga little baby girl! We are soo excited, and now are struggling with a name... My friends Carla and Lisa think "Carla" and "Lisa" would be good names and of course my sister Heidi thinks "Heidi" would be a good name, but sorry folks ,we are looking for somthing a bit more "personal" for this little miriacle! She is going to be her own person with her own identity, we just need to find the perfect fit for now. I have a ton of names just floating around in my head, like Samantha, Natalie, Madison, McKenzie, just to name a few, but I have to say the list is just ever growing, how the heck do we narrow it down to just 2 names? Oh not to mention 2 names that go together and sound good...geez, this is not going to be easy. At least we can stop calling her Baby B or even worse "it" !!!
So I get to have a little mini me, ok, a mini Eddie and I but since I know it is a girl, I want her to be everything that I never was and have the things I have only dreamed of. I know I'm sure every parent feels that way, I just dont want her making the same mistakes I made in my life and I sure have made my share of them.
Last night we babysat my sister in law's kids. We had a great time, I took my DVD of Ice Age the Meltdown with me so we all watched a movie together that evening. The funny thing is it was the same movie we "took" them to see when it came out in the theaters. They just love those Ice Age Movies!! As I was sitting there in the chair with little 3 year old Ashliegh cuddled up next to me, it made me realize that soon enough I would have my own little girl cuddled up next to me watching a movie with her movie, almost brought a tear to my eye....! Geez, these pregnancy hormones sure do drive you crazy huh? I can hear a simple song on the radio and burst into tears!!
I had another dr's appointment with my regular Ob/Gyn today also. Yesterday was the high risk dr and he is the one who did the sono. Anyway, after conversing with my High Risk Dr and my regualar Ob/Gyn, it was decided that I was not getting the "individualized" care for my diabetes that they wanted me to have , so we have "fired" my endocrinologist and my high risk Dr, Dr. Alberts is going to take over. It seems my fasting glucose levels are not where they want it and well to be honest where they want it (80-95) it never has been!! I am willing to try anything at this point sooo we will see what he has in store for me now. I guess it really is a big concern for them , not so much for the baby's health but more for mine. They dont want me to end up in Ketoacidosis, a coma, having seizures or possibly a stroke.. now none of that sounds like fun to me either soooooo I'm going to try to be as good as I can and get this all under control... time will tell I guess, time will tell.....
