33 week Dr. Appointment and this weeks happenings!

Doctors appointment took a whopping 2 hours. 45 minutes on the NST machine. I ate before I went this time but still Khloe had NO desire to cooperate :) They used the sound wave machine to wake her up again and low and behold they finally got the variability in the heart rate they needed so.....it was on to a room! They did a quick ultrasound just to check for amniotic fluid. My fluid level was 13 which is normal, yah (passed another test!). No preterm labor, knock on wood!

I went off insulin last friday due to low blood sugars. I was told by my diabetic nutritionist that normally when your blood sugars level out toward the end of a pregnancy it is due to lack of placental function. This was a bit worisome considering the placenta is the only thing supplying Khloe with oxygen, food, and all the things she needs to survive. At that point the fact that gestational diabetics have a higher rate of still births kind of hit home but all testing has come back showing that this is not happening in my case. My blood sugars have went back up the past couple of days and so my diabetic doctor has put me back on insulin. They are thinking it was just a sudden change in hormones for one reason or another, so we are just watching is closely. I go for a growth ultrasound on Thursday and I am so excited! I will be almost 35 weeks and have not had an ultrasound in a month! I am sure she will be too big to get any good 4d pictures but just maybe she will cooperate this time.

My mom came over and painted the babies room! She also got the antique crib finished in glossy black! It is absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to post pictures in the next couple of weeks! She is also covering a vintage chair in new fabric, painting a couple of vintage dressers, and sewing some items for the room! Good thing she is so handy :)

Not much else has really went on this week Dad had to go out to work, mom worked alot, Mark worked late almost every night, Kaila is being her typical almost teenage self....not getting up until she wants, watching tv all day, texting, and getting on the computer :), Kinsey has a loose tooth that I am not sure how it is possibly staying in but I am NOT touching it, Logan...well Logan is being Logan, and Lawson....I am trying to start to potty train with much resistance. I am asking myself if potty training is really that important! I have been so lucky in the past Kaila and Kinsey were a breeze to potty train and Logan potty trained himself by 2 1/2. Lawson is 2y 7m and has NO interest, however, he doesn't want to sit in it? Go figure.

Will post again on Thursday unless something interesting goes on before then :)
