Baby movements

I think I have been feeling Thaddeus moving around for about a month now, but was doubting it, because I have had such severe constipation. Well yesterday and this morning, I definately know that it is him stretching out or hiccupping. He is most active when I first wake up in the morning and again when I go to bed at night. But I also don't think that he likes when I sit with proper posture either. I think when I sit that way I can wake him up and get him moving.

I am so excited!! I am now 28 and half weeks pregnant. One of these days I will actually get some prego belly pictures. Since I am high risk, I start going in every week for an ultrasound, and at 32 weeks I go in twice a week for an ultrasound.

I have been doing well in monitoring my diabetes, but am finding that it is hard to keep my blood sugars down. I was told this would happen, and actually had the doctor up at Maine Medical in Portland explain why. The placenta produces a hormone that inhibits the Insulins ability to do it's job. The only thing with my being diabetic is Thaddeus doesn't know that I don't need that to happen, and the doctor said even in the womb a baby doesn't know that to much of a good thing is a bad thing.

On another note...

Jeremy's ex-wife has finally moved out, and we are in the process of finding a tenant to move in.
So please pray that we will find the right tenant, and not jump to move in the first person who is available to move in now.
