Pandamonium Blog - Ramblings of a Crazy MaMa!

So apparently according to everyone I talk to I'm "glowing". I do feel really happy so I figure that is why. I'm actually enjoying being pregnant! My only complaints would be the bloating I have sometimes and the tightness in my belly I'm feeling lately but I guess that's just my body changing to accommodate my little babe. I had another Dr. appointment on Monday and Jeremiah got to come with me since he was off, so that was nice. We got to hear the heartbeat again :) My insulin dosage was increased a little bit and seems to be doing it's job. The Dr. seemed happy about the weeks previous results so that makes me feel better too. Being diabetic and pregnant is pretty stressful but I try to just take it one day at a time and stay positive about it. We got her crib ordered courtesy of Jeremiah's parents and grandparents along with her car seat from my parents. Both should both arriving very soon! We are so thankful for our wonderful supportive...

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I have a lot to be thankful for this year just like very other but especially because of my little peanut. She is currently the size of a cantaloupe and she is now getting her taste buds! She is moving around more too. It's seems just within the last few days my tummy has popped out a little bit more. Right now we are trying to get the room that will be her nursery packed up so we can set it up just perfect for her. It was my craft room/ work office which I will still work in there but will have to store most of my craft stuff until we get a bigger place. I'm excited to decorate. I will be sewing her bedding and little toys with some vintage fabrics I bought about 10 years ago and have been holding onto in hopes of one day having a baby girl :) I have a lot of my toys from when I was little that I will be using for her room decor as well. I can't believe that after about 14 or so moves I still have all this stuff and it's in great conditio...

Week 23 is flying by like crazy!! Our little peanut is actually the size of a grapefruit right now weighing in at 1lb. 3oz. I can't believe in just another week I'll be 6 months pregnant. Yesterday we went to our ultrasound appointment in Colorado Springs where they did a more in depth ultrasound on the baby due to my diabetes. Everything is going great according to the pictures and the doctor. The only thing is my blood sugar is still not under as tight control as we would all like but we are working on that together. We also found out that we are going to have a very precious baby girl!!!!! I am over the top excited! I really didn't care either way and would be excited for a boy too but just knowing what we are having is just such an awesome feeling. Soo many people told me not to find out but we had too! I have to be prepared that's just me and I have to be able to crochet and decorate accordingly, hahaha! Jeremiah was sorta hoping for a boy (of course) b...

This week I am 22 weeks and the baby is the size of a papaya!!! I feel like it is going by so fast already. This week I am feeling my sweet little baby move around alot especially when I'm sitting at work on the computer, laying in bed, or eating. This little babe is going to be like it's mama and love food! Haha! It feels like teeny tiny somersaults or a little swish. We had our Dr. appt on Monday and everything is going good except they had to double my diabetic meds because stabilizing my glucose levels with my regular dose is not working. Then next Wednesday we will go to Colorado Springs for a special ultra sound and find out if we will be having a little monster or a little princess!! Either way I will be happy to know. I really don't care what gender is as long as it's healthy. I think most people are hoping for a boy but girls are just as fun in my eyes. Jeremiah has been the best ever. Super supportive and caring! I couldn't ask for a better dad...

So here is the story many are wanting to hear and the answer to the question "HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW!!!?" So this all started about a month ago when I thought I was having pregnancy symptoms so Jeremiah and I went to Walgreens bought a two pack of E.P.T. pregnancy tests and I took one the next morning like it says to do in the instructions. It was negative (like the many I have taken in the past). So I didn't think anything of it since my cycles are far and few between and I have never been pregnant before and didn't think I could get pregnant so I just forgot about it and went about my business as usual. A couple more weeks past, Jeremiah and I went to the Smashing Pumpkins concert and had a great time shopping and hanging out. We got back the next day and were just watching t.v. relaxing when I felt something weird in my pelvis area, I was like WTH was that jumped up and ran to the bathroom to take the remaining pregnancy test left. Low and behold that little...

So like most people Autumn is my most favorite, FAVORITE time of the year. The weather is perfect, everything is so pretty and cozy. I have a "to do" list of things I want to this season and checking them off one by one. We have been watching scary/horror/thrillers since the first of the month and eating and drinking anything pumpking. Right now is such and exciting time for Jeremiah and I :) I'm in the best mood ever.

I spent some time with this little cutie yesterday when I got off of work. Blake is just adorable I can't get over it. We hung out and "talked" to each other for a good while. He tries so hard to talk but then just spits or coughs instead then smiles cause he knows he is silly. I'm in love with this little stud what can I say!
