July and August have been filled with appointments, appointments, appointments. Not surprisingly, I have gestational diabetes with this little guy. But unlike Dawson's pregnancy my numbers have been more difficult to control, and I'm taking medication at night to control my fasting numbers. Due to this, plus advanced maternal age (yes, I'm officially old) I have doctors appointments twice a week. Every Tuesday I have an ultrasound, and every friday I have a NST.
My view this summer
Thankfully all my tests have come back with a healthy baby and not unusually large either. At the last growth ultrasound he was in the 71% percentile for weight. Next tuesday they will measure again. My fluid has been low twice now, so I'm drinking a ton of water and doing my best to stay out of the heat. Only four more appointments left until it is baby time!
Thankfully I've got a great on call baby sitter in Nana Jackie. I set the kids up with a movie and snacks and I'm usually back within an hour. They have fun hanging out and spending time with her, it's worked out so well!
And now we wait! We are really excited to meet you little one!
Happy, healthy baby,that's what it's all about. Can't wait to meet our new baby.
