We have lots of things to praise the Lord about from last week:
1.) Carson got a job!!!!
2.) I graduated with my Masters in Nursing!!!!
3.) Charlie is growing well!!!!
Carson accepted a job at Compass Bank as a "preferred client officer." He will pretty much be doing the same thing as his previous position at Bank of America, managing high net worth clients. It sounds like it will be worth the wait for this job because he'll be doing what he is more passionate about. They asked him when he would like to start so he said the Tuesday after Labor Day.... so he could go fishing with his dad in Colorado and then we could make a trip down to Kerrville to visit his family before Charlie arrives. Until then I'll be working 2-3 days a week, studying for my boards and getting ready for Charlie to arrive!
Friday, August 14th I crutched myself across the stage and finally graduated from UTA! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!! Still doesn't feel real that I actually finished. Maybe after I take my boards I will feel that full sense of relaxation. Here are some pics from graduation and a little fiesta cookout we had Saturday night at our house. It was a great week and weekend of celebration!!
I'm sticking my belly out a little, but it's pretty much that big! Baby Charlie is really growing...WHOA!!!
Just a little snap shot from the Graduation Fiesta at our house. Carson cooked up some yummy food as always!
We went to the OB last week and I measured exactly 30 weeks. That means he's growing well and the Dopplar indicated that his heart rate is good and strong. I have been able to manage my blood sugars very well on my new diet plan. The only reading that was a little high was the morning one. She wanted it to be less than 90, but mine was about 105-110. So she started me on some insulin at nighttime. I was a little upset at first until she reassured me that this was extremely common to give myself a very small amount of insulin at night because there was nothing I could do to prevent it. She simply said my pancreas just can't keep up while I'm asleep and because my numbers are just a smidge too high, we need to keep them down so that Charlie doesn't take them in and put on too much weight! Pretty much after he's born I won't need insulin anymore and my body will go back to normal... which was very reassuring. For now, the little monkey in my tummy is doing well! The one exciting thing about this whole gestation diabetes thing is I get to have extra sonograms!!!!! I'm actually going to have one on Thursday and we can't wait to see his little hands, feet, and sweet face. Don't worry if I get a good picture I'll post it on here!!
Thank you everyone for the millions of prayers that have been lifted up for our little family of three over the past 8 stressful months. We felt them and are extremely happy to report ALL of the good news from last week! Praise Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
