Life. :)

You know what's totally surreal? The fact that Lowell and I met two years ago this weekend...only two years ago, and now we're married and having a baby in less than a month. Weird. Good, but weird. :) I love him so much. :D

Jakob was about 6 pounds a month before his delievery too! I couldn't believe he made it to 8 pnds 3 ounces in one month. It was nuts! Even with my sugars under control. The only reason I had a C-section was because the drugs they used to induce me didn't work and they really fucked me and left me with no choice. Are you going to be induced? I will be keeping you in my thoughts and hoping you don't have to go through the kind of labor that I did. :)
What kind of pump are you getting? WIC hooked me up with an Ameda Truly Yours double electric, and it's awesome. It's got 6 bottles with an insulated pouch for them, double pumping, battery & car jack, and power strip. Plus it all comes in a swell little carrying case. They run on E-bay for about 200.00 dollors, and after using an Isis manual & a Medela Lactina, and now this, I think this one is my favorite. :)
I am glad you had fun at your shower!
I need to get off my ass and mail your baby clothes to you!
I am so lazy. I will do it ASAP! lol :)

As far as induction goes, the doctor has said he's willing to work with me on that...he said we would start "talking" about it should Gabe get beyond about 8 1/2 lbs, because he wants me to be able to have a vaginal delivery, and he's worried about the shoulders getting too big, which is one of the problems babies born to mothers with GD have. I asked him then about the risk of C-section, because I know that half of all inductions end up in C-section, and he told me he has a really low C-section rate (which I already knew from my cousin), and he has to do inductions on a regular basis, due to the fact he *is* a high-risk OB. He told me he would let me try natural induction methods first, though, and everything would be contingent upon my sugars, my BP (which is still really good, woot!) and the baby's size

I'm glad to hear that your doctor is willing to work with you on that. Unfortunately, I didn't get much of an option there because everyone, including the doctor's and my families where guilt tripping me to be induced although I knew everything would be alright in my heart. And it would've been, upon looking back on it. It's an issue that still has me depressed, so just make sure if they DO want to induce you, do what is in YOUR heart and don't let anyone else tell you what to do! Your doctor seems mega cool though. That rocks

Did you rent a Medela Lactina off them?No, I didn't even ask, because she said they wouldn't be able to give me one until I delivered, and even then, wouldn't be able to give me one until about a month (I think) before I went back to work. The more I weighed the pro's and con's, I thought it would be better to just buy my own, especially since I'm going to massage therapy school next fall, and I'll need my own, then. I might as well get one while I have the money, right
