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 when I checked the mirror the other day – hooray! Also, this baby girl is definitely not a small thing. He told me that she is measuring a couple weeks ahead, so about 34-35 weeks.
Due to gestational diabetes causing larger babies and with second babies often being naturally larger too, I will probably be induced again with this pregnancy. We will discuss a date in a couple of weeks. I believe it would be somewhere between my 39th and 40th week, so around the time of my due date. Of course, this falls right in the middle of the holidays too, so we’ll see.
Today was also my first official day of being unemployed. It was a great day. I woke up early to help Greg get Adrianna ready for junior kindergarten. Then we drove her to class together. That kinda threw her off since usually it is just Daddy taking her to school. I got pretty much everything on my to-do list done, including a nap, some errands and preparing a pot roast with veggies in the crock pot. It was delicious and even better, I was able to eat a lot without causing my blood sugars to rise too high. Yum! So often it feels like I have to stop eating before my hunger is satisfied, so it was a nice feeling to be able to even get a second portion. If only every day could go as smoothly as this one, I think I could really like this staying at home deal.
So glad everything is going well!
How fantastic Amber. You all must be getting so excited! Not to mention being unemployed. Just think of all the fun you will have. You will be lucky enough to get to all those lovely to-do’s that never seem to go away. 🙂
So very happy for your good report, Amber!
