First up, I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes a few weeks ago. I'm supposed to be going to a class at the hospital to tell me what I should or shouldn't eat and how to test my glucose levels. I'm still waiting on the stinking hospital to call me. So, at this this rate, Cace will be here before I figure out what I'm supposed to be doing!! I wasn't too far off of normal on my glucose tests, so I should be able to manage with just my diet. Since I can't test my glucose levels, I've just been eating super healthy and trying to watch my carbs and staying away from sweets and my precious sweet tea I was allowing myself to have occasionally :(
So, because of the gestational diabetes, I wanted another ultrasound in order to see how big he is getting in there. He was a little over 4 pounds, which was consistent with his size at our last ultrasound at around 19-20 weeks... which means that our due date has now been moved up to May 23rd or so (which also seems more right to me based on when I know he was conceived and our original due date based on my cycle) and that he's doing great!!
I got to see his cute little face today, and he definitely has Michael's cute chubby cheeks. He also had a little bit of hair on the back of his head already. So, sorry Michael, no bald baby for you. The tech also mentioned that his legs were long, so hopefully he's not short like his Mom!!
So, there's still lots to do before he gets here and now less time to do it!! We've been working hard to fix up Michael's grandma's house for us to live in. We've hired someone this week to get the bathroom and painting done, so that we can move on to carpet, etc. and getting moved in there. So, hopefully it won't be too much longer before I can start setting up Cace's room. I can't wait to see my vision of his room come together!!
Next up...baby showers!!! I've got one this weekend, one at work next Wednesday, and another on April 16th!! So excited to see everyone and show off my baby bump!!
