We had a doctor's appointment yesterday - she doesn't anticipate the baby coming too early and is pretty confident that we'll make it to full term. yay!!!
The baby is doing well. Only thing is that she's in a breach position - she's been in this position this whole time. This makes the doctor think that she might just be tangled up and can't get into the right position for a natural birth. If she doesn't, then we're possibly looking a c-section. Praying that she'll decide to turn in the next few weeks!
The gestational diabetes diet is harder than I thought it'd be. Trying to be positive about it and really stick to it but i CRAVE sweets. Lately fruit tastes like heaven to me just because it's kind of sweet... just a few more weeks...
we discovered that if we cook then we have a lot more control on what I'm eating and it helps with keeping the count within range. So Leo's been great and cooking dinner every night and breakfast in the morning!! I usually have some form of egg and some cheese or turkey bacon in the morning, then steamed chk & veggies for lunch, then some protein and veggie for dinner. For snacks, I get some nuts or a small piece of fruit. This "diet" has really kept me healthy - i'm now only at a total weight gain of 2 lbs!!
We're starting to get stuff ready for the baby - who knew they required so many things!! It's fun though, planning together and talking through decisions and just getting ready to meet our lil girl.
Here's a pic of me at 32 weeks.
hey peggy! you look great!! love the baby bump. =)
ReplyDeletei can't believe you have only gained 2 lbs throughout the whole pregnancy! that's incredible...as long as you and the baby are doing well!
