Well, I'm sure you read from my previous post that I officially have gestational diabetes. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this, I'll fill you in on how my life has changed. When I first found out, I was fully aware of what gestational diabetes is and what all it entails... so I received the call at work and cried for about an hour. Now I'm over it and have moved on to accept that this only going to be for the next 10-12 weeks until Charlie is born and then I'll be back to normal. This new change is going to be worth it once I see little Charlie's sweet face! I was just bummed out that I now have one more thing to add to the list! Carson and I now joke that with a broken leg, trying to finish up grad school, Carson not having a job and now the diabetes... that HAS TO mean that Charlie is going to be the easiest baby in the world OR the next time we have a baby has GOT to be easier that this pregnancy! Like my parents always say... "this too shall pass."
I've been to the diatician and have my glucometer to check my blood sugars (four times a day), so now its almost a routine. Basically I have to eat a certain amount of carbs, proteins, & fats everyday. And eating very few sugars... which you KNOW is hard for me!! I'm being very strict on the diet though because I don't want Charlie to weigh like 12 pounds!! That would not be fun for me :) Carson is being so sweet and supportive, helping think of creative meals to keep my blood sugars down. I just love him!
Charlie is still extremely active and wild in my belly though, kicking me so much that sometimes it hurts a little. Carson is so cute about kissing my belly everyday and talking to him. He calls him "Squirt" and tells him how much we already love him. We both are extremely excited!
I never posted a picture of the super cool crutch covers I bought, so here's a picture from the internet:
I love them! I even ordered some for my brother-in-law, Andrew who just had ankle surgery. Don't worry I ordered him dark green since he's about to go to Baylor at the end of this month!
Speaking of Carson, we have great news!! He has a second round interview on Monday at 12:30pm!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!! If you read this before he interviews, please send up lots of prayers. He is very excited about the job and they sound very interested in him too. It seems like a great fit for him. We've been praying very hard about this job too, so we'll keep you posted. Lots of big things this next week: Carson's interview on Monday, I finish up clinicals on Thurday, and then graduate Friday night! I'll be sure to post some pictures of me walking across the stage 30 weeks pregnant on crutches!!!!!!

Julianne- Oh my! We'll be praying for you and I promise one day that little boy will repay you for all the hardships you went through to get him into this world.
I can't wait to see the video of you walking across the stage! I bet you get a standing ovation...at least you deserve one! Wish I could see it!
