An Update from Anne, finally...

Hasn't Angie done a great job keeping the blog up to date? Even more so considering she is the one carrying the baby (and looking after her own four children)! :)

This week we are at 34 weeks. Angie posted on her Facebook status that we had 43 days until 'baby day' - wow!
Time had been going pretty slowly for Dave and I, but that has changed in the last couple of weeks and all of a sudden time is flying by.
Dr Zimmerman measured Angie on Monday and she is measuring exactly what she should be and her weight gain (3 pounds in the 2 weeks) is perfect too. The baby is active and she is having contractions that she is feeling about 4 or 5 times a day, which is what is expected. Angie is doing well controlling her blood glucose levels with diet, especially with holiday foods and celebrations. The doctor is happy so far that diet is controlling her numbers, but if that stops being the case she will need to take medication to help regulate her levels. Angie has had a terrible cold/flu and blocked sinuses for the last month and last weekend she got some antibiotics and nose spray and she is finally feeling better and has some more energy.
Last night Angie felt some strong contractions and some even woke her up during the night, but they are less today, so it must be a false alarm. I am not ready for this baby yet!

Next time: our version of maternity pics and some peeks at the nursery.
