Let it snow, Let it snow...or Ice, Ice, Baby?

They are predicting a couple of inches of snow for us tonight...hopefully it won't turn into ice. Snow is fun..ice is not...since moving up here two years ago, I've been through both...the first year, this is what I woke up to outside of my house...


Last year, this was the much more pleasant scene outside...



We'll just have to wait and see what's in store for this year!


In other news, I start weekly ultrasound or 'biophysical profile' monitoring this week to make sure everything is progressing well with Laura...Since the last time I posted anything about it, I've had to start taking Insulin for the Gestational Diabetes. Luckily, I've just been able to take a pill twice a day (no shots-for now) Well, other than monitoring sugar levels 4 times a day...

Since I've now become 'insulin-dependent' I get monitored a lot more closely. Each week they will give me a 'score' for the baby. Ideally, she should score an 8 each time. Mainly, I think they are checking her for weight gain and lung development. I have my first profile appt tomorrow (assuming the roads are drivable) so I should know more about how it will work soon.

We've also made some progress on the baby's room...I'll try to take some pictures to post later in the week.

Have a great day! :)
