The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
The Good: Another week of couch rest past and we survived!!!! Only 10 or so more to go! Whoohoooo. This morning I felt Heaten have the hiccups for the first time, very cool.
The Bad: 10 more weeks or so of couch rest. Boring!! Please come visit me so I don’t lose my mind!!! Things are getting a little uncomfortable with the belly. We measured 33 weeks last OB visit and I’m sure this week will be even more! If there was a game for biggest belly at 26 weeks I would surely win!! And we all know I LOVE to win.
The Ugly: Tests came back for Gestational Diabetes and I am the winner!!! So 10 lonnnng weeks of couch rest with no M&M’s or ice cream. Could the torture get any worse?!?!

Hi Jeff and Lesley,
I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get in touch with you guys… but congratulations on your baby news! You both must be so excited and to top it off you’re having two babies! (I love the names you have chosen by the way). I’m sure you have heard that we are due to have our baby in October. The due date is October 11. I’m 31 weeks right now. It looks as though we could both be having our babies very close to one another, which is exciting. Lesley, I’m sorry to hear of the bed rest situation. It would be difficult to work through but I guess you have to do what’s right for the babies at this time. I’m actually not working right now either. I decided to take the summer off and enjoy the last few months leading up to the birth. Time seems to be flying by and I can’t wait for the next two months to whiz by also. Are you guys all ready in terms of “baby supplies?” We are getting there. My sister in law has lent us a ton of stuff which will come in handy and then we have purchased quite a bit too. You could go crazy out there with all the options to choose from. You almost don’t know where to start somedays.
Well, I hope things continue to go well for you guys. Please keep in touch. We would love to hear from you both.
It’s such an exciting time for all of us and it’s great to be able to share it with someone else.
Send me your email address sometime and I will send you guys some pictures too!
Take care,
Love Cousin Karly
