One month left

Only a month left till our little baby boy Auctavine is born. We are both excited and scared with it being our first. My father will be here June 16 for his birth. It will be nice to have Jesse and my dad there to help me through the Labor and Delivery. That is something I am not looking forward to. From all the woman I know who have kids Labor and Delivery is not something any of them look forward to.

I am 36 weeks this week and start to see the OB/GYN every week. I am only guessing that they start to check me to see how close I am to Labor and Delivery. I just pray I don't go too early and that I don't go late. Jesse is deployed and will not be home till June 3 and I really want for my dad to be here when I do go in to labor. It would just be nice to have the sport from both of them and help from my dad once Auctavine is here.

I do have to say that I have enjoyed most of my pregnancy. The only thing that I am not liking is the mood swings. With Jesse being gone I have knoticed them alot more. He keeps me from going out of my mind with them. He will see one coming before I do and he does his best to make me smile. Which is nice. I miss that right now but June 3 he will be home and I will have a big old smile on my face:).

Other then that every thing is going the way it should durning the pregnancy. The only thing that sucks is having Gestational Diabetes. They had me on a dite but they did not like where my blood sugar levels were so they put me on some medication. Since I have been on Glyburide they have me seeing the nurse just so they can track Auctavine's heart beat and movements. Last week when I went they told me I was having contractions but I did not feel them. Hope that is not how I am when it is time for Auctavine to be born. Other then that he is not a big baby. Well to me he is not big. I only have my baby belly. I don't look like I have gained any weight in other places but my belly. Which is nice, I guess.

I don't know of any thing eles to talk about right now because Auctavine is the only news going on in our lives right now. We are just getting the last minute things together but I don't think we will ever be 100% ready for him. Is any one ready when there first child comes??

Hi Jesse & Amy ---- from Gmoot

I'm with Chrystal. I feel like I am trying to rub my tummy and pat my head at the same time. I want to say "Octavian", but when I see "Auctavine" phonetics take over and "Auc-tah-vine" (as in grape vine) comes out of my mouth. Someone help....!!!
So very glad to hear that things are going well. You will do just fine in delivery, we all do just fine. Just relax and enjoy this last month. Soon you will be thinking that it was much easier caring for this baby while he was still in your tummy!!! Of course, now you get the kicks instead of the smiles. Love you guys --

Hi Jesse & Amy --- from Gmoot

Don't know why it took so very long for it to dawn on me -- guess that I am getting slow. I'm sure you both know that Octavian (couldn't find "Auctavine") means eight. Since he will be the 8th grandson on our side thought that was a fun coincidence. Hope all is well and you three are doing fine. Love ya, Gmoot

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy. I'm sorry the labor was so hard-though i'm sure one look at that adorable little face made it all worth while. Welcome to parenthood!!!
