Hello Everyone, we thought we would update you with the latest going on with the pregnancy. We have experienced a few speed bumps in the last few weeks, but we think we are back on track. Two weekends ago Laura became very sick. She was vomiting and became very dehydrated and started to have contractions. We went to ER at 3:00 in the morning and had to stay in the hospital until the next day. The doctors determined she had a bacterial infection. After much observation, blood work, and medicine to stop the contractions the doctors had things under control. The doctors said that the baby was not affected by this and Laura is doing much better now and has regained her strength.
One more little bump that we are dealing with is that Laura has been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. This is a form of Diabetes that some women get when pregnant. She has met with all the specialists and we believe we have it also under control. She will need to check her blood 4 times a day (which she just loves!!!!!) and make sure she is eating certain foods every two hours. It does not effect the baby in any way as long as she can keep her blood sugar under control.
So, that is the latest at the Gamradt household. The baby is still doing awesome, Laura just has a little more on her plate to deal with. We know it will all be worth it in the end and we will have a beautiful baby.
Again, thanks for all your thoughts and prayers with all of this.
Joshua and Laura
