So, Joshua is going to be a huge baby, just because I guess! No gestational diabetes, my repeat test was even better than the first! He's healthy and even with as huge as he is right now (over 5 1/2 lbs) he's still moving and groovin all over the womb. While my due date isn't until Feb 2, 2007 I will be having him in January. There was no doubt about that even before we figured out he's big! I was to be induced around 39weeks just to make sure he comes before week 40. Well now that he's so big there is a possiblity that he'll be induced even earlier. No earlier than 37 weeks as that is considered full term but any time after January 12th would be fair game.
I see the OB next Thursday after Christmas then weekly there after. I'm having non-stress tests done every other week and growth ultrasounds have been every three weeks. Maybe more will be done as we get closer to the full term time. My OB is still out on his medical leave but the OB I found to replace him is very nice and I'm comfortable with him taking over my care. My perinatologist is very involved so I'm being watched closely. Oh I found out at my last appointment they have technically labeled Joshua as LGA which is large for gestational age!
Funny when Joey was IUGR intra-uterine growth restricted! I guess there's no argument from me how no two pregnancies are alike, even with the same parents!
So far, so good! Thanks all I can ask for. God has blessed me and my family very much and for that we are truly thankful.

Pictures November and December 2006
My little climber especially loves the tight spots
and the high spots as well!
He loves mommy's belly and reclining in the chair with the phone.
The snow was great, can't wait for more to play in
and the musical doggy from St. Nick was a great hit!

Lots going on the past month
Wow I didn't realize how long since I've update on here! Sorry to you all who check frequently. Time sure does fly when you've got children, something you never quite understand until you're in the right shoes! LOL
Well we managed to get through Thanksgiving. It was very nice and even if I do say so myself, the food was wonderful! I may not be able to make chicken and rice but I sure can roast a flavorful and moist turkey and my sweet potatoes are awesome!
On December 1st the Midwest was hit with a great snowstorm. Here we managed the most in the state with an official total of 17 inches! You know Joey was only 2 inches more than that at birth! LOL
I took him outside the day after and he just loved it. He's always loved the snow but this is the first chance he's gotten to play in it. In the past, since he was little, he only got to stick his face up in the air and feel the flakes fall on his face. This time he got to hold it in his hand and attempt to stand in it. Do you believe he is wearing his INFANT snow suit? LOL He's still such a shorty that in length he still can wear that thing. It's not really suitable for walking it but it did the trick and kept him warm.
He will be 18months old on Friday. I can't believe it's been 18 months since his birth. So much has happened, he's grown and developed right before my eyes and yet I feel like I missed it all! He has his pediatrician appointment in the morning. His only shot this time is his flu vaccine and then he doesn't see the doctor until he's two and no more shots until next year's flu shot!
Yesterday I went in to get Josh checked out by the perinatologist. Josh is doing extremely well. He's gaining weight the way Joey should have but didn't! Acutually I'm a little concerned that he's going to be huge! 21 days ago he was 4lbs 0oz, yesterday he was 5lbs 7oz. If I go to my due date of 2/2/07 I'm estimating 8lbs 5oz at least! That's a huge difference between Josh and Joey who was only 3 days early and 6lbs 13oz. Can you all say WOW big Joshie??!! LOL
The perinatologist and I discussed that maybe I have gestational diabetes. I had my 1 hour glucose test done at the usual time around 26 weeks and it was normal but on the high end. It was 133 with 140 being the highest it goes. So I called the new OB I will be seeing this week (my OB is on medical leave and will probably miss Josh's delivery) and told them that I would like a repeat test to make sure. It's important to know so they can watch Josh after he's born and make sure his sugar levels don't bottom out right after birth. I hate that if I am diabetic they may have to give him a bottle to keep his sugars up. I would hate for that to ruin my breastfeeding ability. Though I did allow Joey to have the pacifier during his circumcision and it didn't ruin his breastfeeding so we will just have to see. I'll do whatever I have to in the best interest of my children.
We'll have our little Joshie in about 7 weeks if not sooner!!!
Well the site won't let me put up any pictures for some odd reason. When it's working correctly I will get them up. I do have quite a few!!
