So I'm 33 weeks prego right now....nearly eight months! I'm feeling really good, not anything to complain about, except that I still wish I had a good diabetes doctor..... Lately it's been hard for me to be as strict with my diabetes as I should be because I have no one to report to, except for the resident at my OB's office (yeah my diabetes doctor has seen me maybe twice since being prego), and he (the resident) doesn't know much about diabetes, so when he says anything, I basically ignore it...:) I'm committing to do better this week, though.
Josh had a little mishap this week at McDonalds. We went with our friends Wes and Holly Carter to eat, and Josh fell off the bench onto his side. His face immediately starting bruising, so we figured that was why he was crying so much. He cried a little when we moved his left arm, but when Ryan starting moving it around to check it, he didn't cry at all. We decided he just probably bruised his side along with his face, but later when he would lean on his arm he'd cry out, so we took him in to the ER just to be safe. It took about six hours to find out his collar bone was broken....so now he gets to have his shirt sleeve pinned to his tummy (well, the part of his shirt that covers the tummy)
and walk around one-armed. When we see a specialist we'll get to find out how long he'll be like that, but until then Josh is doing okay. He has gotten used to having use of just one arm,but he is a bit more sensitive (not surprisingly) a bit less coordinated, and a bit less patient when he wants to play with his basketball. Every once in a while he'll cry out because he's hurting, which is hard as a parent, but he's tough. Actually, Ryan broke his collar bone when he was a little guy, so Josh is just following in his father's footsteps, which is fine with me, Ry's a good guy to follow.

Ha ha I love that Alaina convinced someone to put someone elses shoes on her! the little thiefer! Poor Josh, what a tough kid you have. Good luck with him and good luck with your pregnancy.
You look so cute and little! Poor Josh, I can't believe he broke his collar bone, but he looks really cute with that sling. I wish we were closer so we could go through our pregnancies together.
Katie you are really the cutest pregnant girl! I bet you are getting so excited :) Poor little Josh! He is one tough cookie!!
You are so tiny! You look great, Katie. And sweet little Josh - this will be a fun story to tell when he is older.
Poor Josh - what a trooper! Are you sure kids gravitate to Ryan because he is fun? I remember something about the kids in Brazil calling him the 'candy man'. :)
Sorry about the "bruises", but you look so cute! I would never have guessed you were that far along. you look about 15 weeks (though I am sure it doesn't feel that way). I didn't know you had diabetes. Ugh on that, too. that's got to be rough.
Haha, Megan, that's so true! He's always bribing his nieces with candy so he'll be the favorite uncle.
Oh man poor Josh. He does however, look so cute! I too busted my collar bone as a baby; well actually the dr did it for me. haha Katie you too look adorable. Do you guys have a name picked out yet?
Poor Josh. I'm glad that he is getting used to being one handed. You look great prego too. Wish I was there to help out if needed. We miss you all.
yea right you guys are beeting your kid. Just kidding, Ryan said the ER Dr. wasn't very friendly. Too bad we cant fly back west whenever we need to go to the doctors.
