Life as we know it...: A few family updates

Last Monday I had my usual OB appointment. Everything went great! Blood pressure was low (104/52) and got the results from my blood work. I wasn't a bit surprised by the outcome of my Gestational Diabetes test, but the doctors were- from some reason they assumed I'd have GD because I'm overweight and I proved them wrong! The only thing that not good in all of the labs was my iron levels- I am anemic and now have yet another vitamin to take. I'm by no means complaining! I am so thankful that everything is going smoothly with this pregnancy and I'm NOT high risk!!!!!

Baby is growing perfectly and has a strong heart beat- about 140bpm. This time Baby measured only one week ahead (which is normal) and from what the doctor could tell, Baby is head down! I'm very pleased and thankful.

Then on Friday, Will had a follow-up appointment with his doctor to see how his speech was doing and to get more referrals. Will did great and cooperated (for the most part) when the nurse did his vitals. He weighs in at 43lbs (or 48lbs... honestly not sure as the screen was hard to see from my angle) and he is 41" tall!!! Since his last visit he grew over 6 inches!! I was a little shocked.

Anyways, the doctor said she believes Will has Apraxia and maybe a slight processing disorder (like me). That being said, She told me Guam does not have anything to help Will (beyond speech therapy). Sadly, we have to "play the game" and continue speech therapy for a few months to prove he needs more help then they can offer. So, we'll go back in February and she will write a letter telling the base that we need to be reassigned to a stateside base that can provide what Will needs.

Aside from that, we are all doing great! Enjoying the island weather, but missing the seasons and family.
