Hannah and Me

~ My ALL time Fav!!!!!

The year is almost over.....

I cant believe this year is almost over!!! And what a year it has been.. I have had some really bad things happen and really great things happen.. I cant wait till the new year beggins. SO much is happening for us right from the start.. We are all looking foward to the many changes in the coming year.. Yea for a New year!!!!! And goodbye to 2008!!!

Gestational diabetes

I have gestational Diabetes!!! So far i have everthing under control, and im eating foods that is keeping my blood sugar in check.. I did have some really really rough days the last few weeks. Due to very low blood sugar i went to the ER once and was really sick for about a week!!! All is well now, and i know what to do to keep my levels were they should be. My specalist said as the pregnancy goes on it can get worse so i just need to be careful and watch when and what i eat.. I do have to check my blood 4 times a day for the rest of this pregnancy.. It so hard to remember but i know its very important... Next appt and ultrasound is on the 7th and we will hopefully know for sure if this is a boy like the doc thinks or if hes wrong!!

I cant decide, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Alright i have narrowed my chocies down to two, but still i like them both!! This is really the only thing i get to buy for the baby(besdies clothes), till we get back to the states.. So im really excited.. So tell me what you think!!!

Its a...............

Well not a 100% sure, but the doc thinks its a BOY!!!!! I still think its a girl, but we have ultrasounds every month so we will know for sure next month... Either way we are just happy that were having a healthy baby.. Now if only i can saty healthy.. I had a glucose test today, to check my insulin levels(i do have insulin restiance) and they were NOT good. I have to do the 2hour GT on thurs and will find out what will happen after that.. But anyhow, looks like a boy for the Shaffers(maybe,haha)...

First Snow!!

Well it snowed last weekend(friday and saturday).. This is the first time in the 2 1/2 years that we have been here that it snowed this early. The snow stayed for about a week, but we were really only able to play in it that saturday.. She had a lot of fun.. Snow is always fun to take pics in, so here are a few of my favs.....




~it actually started snowing, so Hannah had to look up and see it coming down..

Another baby pic!

Well today was offically my last appt with my fertility specalist.. All went very well!! I have been a mess this last week. Full of fear and anxiety, that we woulnd find the baby alive at todays appt. But things are all better, and i feel like a new person.. The baby is Great!!! It has arms,legs and a beating heart!!! Corey and i couldnt be happier right now!!! Well here is another pic of him/her(i think her)..
We have our first appt with our Ob on monday. We went to this doc with the last pregnancy, and really liked him. Now if i can only start looking pregnant!!!!
10w3d~

Hormone Fun!!!

Ya so, my low hormone(low progestrone), and having to take supplements is just so much fun!! First off its NOT taken down my throat, if you know what i mean! Ya so thats not fun. It causes all kinds of fun things!! And secondly the sickness it adds! I didnt have very much sickness with Hannah, so this is a change for me.. Im happy to deal with anything i need to take or deal with to keep this baby healthy! Well i just had to complain for a minute. Now im over it!!! My next ultrasound is on Monday. Its still with my fertility specalist, so i will have my levels checked again and of course a ultrasound.. I have to say im preparing for the worst,but hoping for the best... So lets all pray that this baby will be okay!! Well other than pregnancy stuff, things are going good!!! I HATE HATE having to get up a 7am to take Hannah to sure start, and i have to admit that she has missed several days of school because im tired and sick.. Corey takes her when he can, which is maybe one day a week!. She LOVES LOVES school, its so cuts cause she starting to tell me things shes learning. Like to night, she puts her hands behind her back and starts singing "were is pinky were is pinky, here i am", it was so cute!. We didnt understand her at first, but eventually figured it out! Nothing else going on here, just hanging out!

Babys First Pic!

We went in for another ultrasound today, and we only found one baby!! Im a little sad that we wont be having two babies, but im aslo very glad that we saw a heartbeat!!! I also found out that my hormone levels are pretty low and i will need supplements to keep the baby healthy and growing. The nurse i talked to said everything will be fine, but after having a miscarrige this year i cant help but worry.. I will defentaly be taking it easy for the next few weeks, till we can get back in to see a doc to see if our baby still has a beating heart! Seeing that babys heartbeat today, was one of the most wonderful moments in my life!! Im truley gratful for that!!! Well here is baby Shaffer #2 first pic!

Its TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!

My doc found 2 sacs yesterday, so we are gonna have TWINS!!!!!!! We didnt get a pictures, but i go back in 2 weeks and hopfully we will get one then... We are all beyond excited and a little nervous! I know its still really early in this pregnancy so anything can happen.. But im staying positive and hopeful. Thats all i can do i guess.

IM PREGNANT!

Well after a long hard road we are finally Pregnant again!!! We found out last week while my Mom and Kim were here. We are very excited and Nervous! For those who dont know our story, we have been trying to have another baby for over 2 years. We did concive in Decemember but we lost that baby in Feb, i was 11 weeks pregnant. We started seeing a fertility specialist in June and after some testing found out that it wasnt just me that has some issues. So when we went into this cycle we added Intrauterine Insemination along with the Injectables meds we started in June. We were very blessed that it worked!! I had a ulrasound and bloodwork done on Friday and everything checkout GREAT!!! I have another ultrasound on Tuesday, and we should see how many sacs are in there.. We do have a good chance of Twins(or maybe more)... Im so hoping for Twins, but i will be so grateful for whatever Heavenly father blesses me with! Are due date Should be May 22, 2009!!! Since we are supose to leave in the begining of July, I mite go back home to Sacramento to have this baby, but we have not decided yet.. Well i want to thank everyone for their love and support during this hard road! I love you all!!

The month of September!!

Well it looks like the month of September is going to be a fun filled one for the Shaffer family!! My mom and Kim are coming out to visit, they get here on Tuesday!!! We are ALL soooo excited that they are coming! We will be doing some sightseeing and visiting my moms family as well.. They are only here for 11days so im sure it will go by way too quickly!
Hannah starts sure start this month as well. She starts friday, but the following week she wont be there since we will be doing stuff with my mom.. We are very glad she got into this program. She needs a lot of help catching up with some development delays she has. So when she starts kindergarten next year she want be behind..
We also have a sad day coming up very soon! Sept, 15th would be my due date! It will be a bittersweet day for me. We mite be getting some good news that day, but i will update on that later:)~(if it happens).. Im sure with my mom here it wont be so hard, so im so gratful that she will be here.. On a side note, we have 10 months till we go back to the states, YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope we get somewhere close to my family and friends back in Sac, i love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!! And miss you SOOOO Much!!!!

Hannah Montana 3d!!

So Hannah decided she wanted to rent the Hannah Montana movie. She watched the regular version a few times, but i finally let her watch the 3d one this afternoon. This was her sitting on the couch looking silly with the 3d glasses on!! She only lasted about 10mins! Oh and dont ever call her Hannah Montana, because she will yell at you saying "im NOT Hannah Nanna"!

Hannahs ready for pre-school!!

Hannah got into the sure start program here on base, and shes SOOOOO excited! She doesnt start intill next friday, but her teacher came over yesterday to get to know her. Well while she was here she just had to get her backpack out!! So i snaped a few pics of her!! She is soo excited!! I am too, but a little sad at the same time!!
