Where have the Binghams been?

Hello Friends,
I know you all are wondering where we have been and what we have been up to. I wish I could say that we have been traveling and having oh so much fun, but the sad reality is that we have not.
I feel it is only fair to fill everyone in on the latest in our family, so brace yourselves it is not great.
The main thing that has happened is that about a month ago, Drew lost his job with Chorus group. This has been especially devastating because of the baby due in July and all of the health issues I have been having with this pregnancy. The job search has been going very slowly. The current recession, or near depression, as Obama refers to it, is not helping the situation.

I have been trying to help out by substitute teaching at my old school, which has been difficult because I have on average one doctors appointment per week, and I have to make sure Drew does not have some kind of meeting that will interfere. I have also been trying to keep up with my sewing and monogramming. As you can imagine, I am pretty tired with all of that going on, and being 5 months pregnant.
My doctor wants to know why I haven't gained enough weight, well maybe he will read my blog!
The same day Drew came home with his news, was the same day I found out that I failed the gestational diabetes test! Woo Hoo! What a day!
I had to immediately see a dietician, who loves to call and check to make sure I am dieting and exercising FIVE TIMES A WEEK!!!!! (Maybe she will read my blog! ) I also have to see a Perinatologist once a month, on top of my monthly appointments with my OBGYN, AND the weekly shots of progesterone that I have to have. I am expecting to be put on bed rest soon! Especially if I don't start gaining weight.
The good news is that the kids are doing great. They remain a true blessing in my life along with my friends, neighbors and relatives. We appreciate all of the prayers and support that you all have given us. I hope that my next blog entry can be a positive one.
The Binghams
