Random Update on Jayden

I thought I would just write down a few thoughts/notes about what is going on with Jayden these days.
  1. Jayden is 10 months and 16 days old.
  2. She is walking along furniture and getting very confident.  She is even letting go every once in awhile to prove how brave she is.
  3. She laughs...A LOT!  Her laugh is so addictive that you can't help, but continue whatever silly thing made her laugh (no matter how stupid it may make you look or feel).
  4. She is saying several words and is surprisingly good at communicating things that she has no words for.  
  5. Her words include: Daddy ("Da Da"), Momma ("Muh Muh"), Woof ("buph"), All Done ("Ah Dah" with the sign), Again ("gee", she just started this today), Bye Bye ("Buh buh buh" while waving) she will actually wave us away, before we even start to leave, when we drop her off at the nursery at church.
  6. She loves to talk...even if it is just babbling (especially if other people are trying to hold a conversation).
  7. She has learned how to clap.
  8. She has learned how to learn lights on and off and make the bird (stuffed) go in and out of the bird house.
  9. When someone is holding her we say, "Love Daddy (or whoever is holding her)" and she pats their shoulder!  It is sooo precious!
  10. She LOVES strawberries.  She wouldn't eat any meat or anything but strawberries for dinner last night.
  11. She has two bottom teeth!
  12. She weighs just under 19 lbs.
  13. She doesn't like to be held by one person for very long.  She will constantly be reaching for someone new.
  14. She knows how to turn the tv on and off.
  15. The only time she cries is when she is hungry (and we haven't fed her in a long time), extremely tired (and it takes a lot to get her there) and hurt.  She is such a happy baby!  
  16. She IS the boss!!!!
Well, I think that is about it.  Or at least, all I can think of right now.  I'll try to do this every once in awhile.  It is fun! :)



I went to the doctor yesterday because I failed my 1 hour glucose test.  So...I went in for my 3 hour test.  I am preparing myself to be diabetic again.  I know that sounds like the negative way to go, but really...I'm being realistic.  My number was really high for the 1 hour test and it is still early in the pregnancy.  Plus, I have just had a feeling from the very beginning that I was diabetic again.  We will find out the results in about a week.  Please pray for me and my health and my family.  This will effect us ALL!

For anyone else reading this - Jana just called and as of right now she's not Diabetic. Thank you for your prayers. As her big sister and the mother of a type 1 diabetic, I can't tell you how much it means when people are praying for you. Jana I hope you don't mind me breaking your good news. Just so happy for you.

you probably need not to preassume let doctor decide if you are diabetic or not .. but as a precautionary measure
