I figured I had better take a couple of shots of my baby belly since I am already almost halfway done with this pregnancy. It is hard to believe we are at 19 weeks already. So far, this pregnancy has been pretty uneventful. The only real discomfort I’ve had has been a lot of heartburn. […]

Last Doctor Appointment
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 […]
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 […]
