Go Baby, Go!!

Today's entry brought to you by your guest blogger, John!!!

Some or most of you know that I spent most of the week being a spectator to the redecorating super-twosome of Kim and Ken, who transformed the second bedroom of our place into a baby getaway complete with cribs, rocker/glider, wall decorations, and closet organizers.  Each day of the week I'd come home from work and see a new aspect of the room, or another pile of washed, folded, and organized baby clothes, or newly organized dresser/closet.  Thank you, guys.  You've done more for us than anyone could've hoped for!

Steph is continuing to kick some serious butt, in spite of the kicks, rollovers, head butts, and whatever else the kiddos can dream up to throw at her.  I know it's tough, and readily admit to her that I have NO idea what it can possibly be like, and love her all the more for doing the best she can!

The latest opportunity for her to overcome something is the situation with her glucose test and the dietitian's recommendations to deal with it.  We went to her follow-up appointment this past Friday and were told essentially that Steph's doing better with the new focus on a low-carb diet.  I know it is just about the complete opposite of the diet she'd like to follow, with the absence of sugar and carbs, but she's doing a great job of monitoring and adjusting things to get the numbers down.  She'll be checking in with Joy on Monday to go over the numbers and see if anything above and beyond the new diet and keeping an eye on he numbers is needed.  Keep your fingers crossed!!  I like to think that whatever curves get thrown at us will make this all the sweeter when we get to the finish line...

I'll be back in Anchorage a week from now for our next appointment with the baby-doctor, which will likely be our last of the once-a-month variety, as we'll be getting close!!!!

Will try to put up some nursery pix over the next couple of days once I get back to Ft. Greely.
