Just a quick note to let you know we had another baby checkup last week. The doc tells us that things are looking good and that we are on schedule for a mid April delivery.

Last week, BM had some kind of blood sugar test that involved drinking some Hawaiian Punch type drink one hour before the doctor’s visit. Apparently, it is not uncommon for a pregnant woman to develop a temporary form of diabetes during the pregnancy. The purpose of the Hawaiian punch test was to determine if BM was developing that problem. Thankfully, her test was fine.

While the temporary diabetes appears to be somewhat easily addressed, it is the second set of tests that would have taken place had the first drink test be positive that scared BM the most. BM doesn’t like to have her blood drawn and I guess the second test would have been several hours of further testing to ensure a proper diabetes diagnosis.

For those keeping score, BM is beginning to have some difficulty sleeping (which I guess will continue on for at least another eighteen years :) It is also becoming “harder and harder to breath” (not the song). So, we have to take our walks a little slower and climb the stairs a little slower and I am sure it will only get progressively more difficult. Otherwise, all is well in the BM and BD world.
