30 weeks/Eli's almost done with preschool!

WOW! I am at 30 weeks! This is where you know you don't have much time left, but at the same time it starts to feel like forever lol. I have a feeling though this isn't going to feel like forever, cause it really has been going by super fast. I have been feeling pretty good, besides all the basic pregnant aches/pains/ feeling like a huge whale lol! I am enjoying being pregnant as much as I possibly can, with out much complaints, because I wont be doing this again. I haven't updated about my 3 hour glucose yet! Which I know most of you that read this already know the results! So I got my 3 hour test done on a Friday, and by Wednesday of that next week I hadn't heard from my doctors office about the results. I was thinking that no news is good news (cause they only call about lab results, if the results are negative) but I also knew that I have a history of gestational diabetes (from Dominic) and that this is the 3 hour test, so they might just call me to let me know weather the test was good or bad. Mind you I had a bunch of my mom's group friends from church praying for me, baby E and this test, on top of family praying. So like I said Wednesday comes and goes, and nothing, so Thursday morning I thought you know what, I am sick of wondering how this test went or if they are going to call or not, so I am just going to call the nurse at my doctors office and ask her what the results where. So I call and end up talking to the receptionist first. I asked her if she could tell me what my results where for my 3 hour glucose test. SO she got my file and was looking at it, and says "Well I don't think your test results have been looked over yet. I am going to send you over to the nurse's line and you can leave a message with her." Great! I started to panic a little. I left a message with the nurse and she called me back a couple hours later. She said that they still haven't gotten my results back yet, and asked if I did do my 3 hour test. Of course I did, so she said she was going to make some phone calls and figure out whats going on! Well she called me back a few minutes later and said that some how I had my results under another Id number. She then tells me everything looks good, good, good! Music to my ears! I was just bursting with excitement and praise, for the Lord had healed me from being gestational diabetic! He is the only one to praise for it! He answered my prayers once again! YAY!!! So I am very happy to say I am not gestational diabetic this pregnancy! Thank you Lord!

I have a doctors appt this Wednesday at 2, and I start going every two weeks to my ob/gyn after that! I go every 2 weeks till I am 36 weeks, and then I will go every week till she is born! Once you start going every 2 weeks, then you know you are getting to the end! EEEKK!! I am planning on addressing  to my doctor something that has started in the last week, and that is being itchy in the evenings! It only happens in the evening hours! It has let up a little (not as intense), but it is still there, and enough to drive me crazy! My back, belly, arms, wrists, legs, and feet all start to itch. Weird! I never had this when I was pregnant with the boys. I am hoping it is nothing serious, and just hormones! But I plan to tell her about it, and then see what she says. Hopefully I can do something for it.

This coming up Sunday we have our church baby shower and I am so excited for it! What isnt fun about getting baby stuff!?? Once again, we are very thankful/blessed for our church to do this for us! We also decided to not go up north for memorial day weekend. So we will be home possibly going over to my in-laws new house (thats if they close on it before then).

On a different note, I just have to add that our little Eli has only 2 weeks left of preschool! WHAT!!?? Talk about a fast school year! Next Tuesday is Eli's class celebration where they are having ice cream and getting there certificates :) His last day is next Thursday, May 23rd. We made the decision to put him in DK (developmental Kindergarten) next year for many reasons! 1. If he went on to Kindergarten, instead of DK, he would be 17 when he graduates,  and thats just so young! Ross was 17 when we graduated high school, and did just fine, but most young adult boys could mature a little more. 2. It benefits him if he plays sports! Boys always take a little longer to fully develop and grow into men. Ross grew a couple inches the year after we graduated and his shoulders got so much broader. That was just that year after we graduated! I cant imagine Eli wont play sports, he already says he wants to play football. He loves all sports, so he is going to have fun finding the ones he really loves and wants to do! 3. DK goes at a little slower pace then kindergarten. I know that Eli would be able to handle Kindergarten, with out much problems, he is a super intelligent boy but there are still some things that he needs to work on, and why overwhelm him, when he will already be adjusting to 5 full days a week, a new sibling (all though I don't think thats going to be an issue at all, he has already done adjusting when Dom got here), and being young for his class. And last but not least, when we thought about it, we cant go wrong when we put him in DK. There isnt going to be any regrets going that route, but there is a possibility of regrets on putting him in Kindergarten. I know we will be very happy with this decision (which we already are!) as he continues to get older, especially when the year his class he could have been in, graduates, and he wont be! Why rush it, if we don't have to!! We will have him for one more year, before he goes off to college, and becomes an adult! I know this will benefit him in so many ways as he grows and develops! God has given us peace on this, and it feels great!
