Since I missed my scheduled appointment on Monday, I was very glad that they were able to squeeze me in on Tuesday for my final OB checkup. Everything checked out great. I am measuring at 39 weeks and baby seems to be doing fine. Cindy and my parents will be arriving on Monday evening and […]

Getting Ready
Greg and I went to the hospital today to preregister our stay there so that all our paperwork and information is in order for the big day. Up until a couple weeks ago, our hospital had restrictions in place that no visitors under the age of 18 would be allowed to visit the New Life […]
Baby Names
Though Greg has a name he really likes and I have a list of names, nothing has really stood out to me as THE name for this baby yet. I mentioned to Adrianna again today that we need to come up with a name for the baby. She told me she has “lots of names”. […]
Official Induction Date
So we set an induction date with the doctor today: December 22nd at 6:30 a.m. We are being induced since I have gestational diabetes. I am sure the doctor is happy to have it scheduled around his holiday plans too though. 🙂 I am also still measuring about a week ahead so there is not […]
32 Week Checkup
I had my 32 week checkup today. All is well. My doctor isn’t concerned about the slight weight loss since I had a bit to lose before I got pregnant anyways. So the weight is just shifting like it did when I was pregnant with Adrianna. In fact, I noticed a little less back fat […]
Endocrinologist Appointment
I had another appointment with my endocrinologist today. Overall, most of my glucose levels are still looking good. Hooray! However, I have lost several pounds in the last 2 weeks so she is concerned that I am not eating enough carbs with this diet since I am supposed to be gaining weight each week at […]
Babies in Tummies
Adrianna often tells me that she has a “baby in her tummy” too. She will try to pooch her little belly out as far as it will go and asks me if I want to feel the baby. She is also starting to use it as an excuse to try to get out of chores […]
Endocrinologist Appointment
I had my follow-up endocrinologist appointment this morning. I have been really nervous for this appointment as the doctor was going to take a look at all my glucose counts from my blood tests (four per day) and determine if I would also need insulin shots on top of the diabetes diet that I have […]
Gestational Diabetes
For those of you on Facebook, you probably already know that my three hour glucose test came back high last week. This means that, as expected, I have gestational diabetes again. My results were: Fasting Normal Level: 65-99. I tested in range at 92. 1 Hour Normal Level: 180 or less. I tested at 206. […]
Glucose Test Results
I am now 27 weeks along, so I had my glucose tolerance test done on Tuesday. I just got the call with my test results. A normal screen is considered 140 or less. I tested high at 175. Though these results aren’t surprising given that I have so many of the risk factors, I am […]
