My husband is the photographer of my step-son's baseball team @ Niles Centerville Little League. Jordan (my step-son) got 2 in-the-park homeruns and made 4 catches for 4 outs. He played so well in this game and got the playball.

What is Gestational Diabetes?
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs
only in pregnancy and usually disappears after the
birth of the baby. It is present in less than 15% of all
pregnancies and is usually detected at 24-28 weeks
of pregnancy.
Who Is Likely To Have It?
Your chances of developing gestational diabetes
increase if you:
• Have a family history of diabetes
• Had a previous birth of a very large baby or a stillbirth
• Are overweight
• Had an earlier pregnancy with gestational diabetes
• Have too much amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios)
• Are older than 25 years
What is the cause?
Gestational diabetes prevents your body from using carbohydrate properly.
Carbohydrate is a nutrient found in foods that is turned into sugar (glucose)
by the body. Foods that contain carbohydrate include sweet foods such as
table sugar, honey, jams, sweets, soft drinks, and starchy foods such as bread,
cereal, pasta, potatoes, fruit and milk. The inability to use carbohydrate
properly results in blood sugars that are not within normal levels.
When you eat food, your body breaks down carbohydrates into sugar
during digestion and the sugar enters your blood stream. Your body needs
sugar to provide energy just like your car needs gasoline to run. Energy is
needed by your brain for thinking and by your muscles for activity. The
pancreas, located behind your stomach, senses how much sugar is present in
the blood and delivers the right amount of a hormone called insulin. Insulin
lowers blood sugar by allowing sugar to enter your body’s cells.
Pregnant women are usually screened for gestational diabetes between 24-28
weeks. Women with a strong family history of diabetes or with gestational
diabetes in an earlier pregnancy may be tested at 16-20 weeks. Just because
you did not have the condition in your first pregnancy does not mean you will
not develop it in later pregnancies.
You can control your blood sugar by:
checking your blood sugar
foillowing a meal plan
Appropriate exercise after meal
Ethan was born on Sept 1 2007, he is 5 days overdue. He weighs 8lbs 4.8 ounces when he was born and 53 cm long. He started to sit well without support when he was around 6 months and started crawling when he was 6 months 28 days, after 2 weeks he could stand up by himself holding on to something like chairs , couches etc. Ethan is a handfull at first I was so worried that he might hurt himself but then he learned how to fall safely on his butt. Whew! my baby is growing. He became more assertive and knows how to express his likes and dislikes. When somebody pull away things from him he objects so loudly and he looks so cute. My baby is always been a mommys boy.. At night when I put him to bed he put his arms on my neck and when he wakes up at night he checks if i'm there and move closer to me then he will return to sleep. Such act of of extreme attachment makes me feel so loved, needed, happy, blessed and content. We got him a playskool step start walk n ride from target and he loves it. I knew soon he'll be walking around. Thank you Lord for such a perfect gift.
How our love started? A lot of couples found their half through internet and we're one of them. I met Terry when I was 26 yrs old, March 2005. We've been good friends since then. I noticed for the first time we talked that Terry is a good, loving, proud father of his twins the way he talks about his son. Which I found it very attractive, since then we talked and share a lot of things like family, friends, hobbies, food etc. Knowing him more I knew we're falling in lovefor each other, but we decided that we have to see each other in person before deciding to go next level. So he decided to go to hong kong to see me last october 27, 2005. Seeing him for the first time!!! we knew we liked each other, so then a good ,trusting, wonderful relationship started. I am so glad and thankfull we found each other. Indeed, time and distant wont stop a true love, it always find her way to find true love no matter how hard it is.
