This week has been a fairly busy one in our neck of the woods. We had a doctor's appointment and the baby measured at 4 lbs 11 oz. YAY! She's right on target and weighs almost as much as my baby brothers weighed COMBINED when they were born 21-ish years ago. My blood glucose levels have been so so. For the most part I've been able to keep my after meal levels all within the target range established by my dietician. The fasting glucose levels have been a bit trickier though and there just isn't much to do for that but go on medication. So this week I started on the lowest dosage of the medicine they prescribe to gestational diabetics and so far it seems to be doing a pretty good job of helping me keep things within the right ranges.
From here on out, I will be seeing my doctor every week. Because of the medication I am on, they will be keeping a little bit closer eye on the baby. So, when I go in for my appointments I will have to be hooked up to the non-stress test for about 20 minutes before I see the doctor. But we don't have to have any more ultrasounds! Hooray! And hopefully this week I'll be able to convince the doctor to schedule the removal of my cerclage. I guess we'll just have to see if she will be ameniable to that idea.
This week we've also been having family visit from England. It's been really fun and crazy to have them here! My sister-in-law threw me a baby shower yesterday which turned out great! For those who were able to come, thank you so much for making the day so special for me.
