30 weeks!

10 more weeks til my due date!  Yay!  Does not seem possible.  Things are coming along really well and hopefully everything will be waiting for our little man when he arrives.  I don't know if 10 weeks (more or less...) will be enough time....ahhhh! :)

We've had a pretty busy week.  Our baby shower was last Saturday.  It was so nice!  We received a lot of great gifts.  I'll be doing a baby shower post this weekend after I receive the cd full of pics my sister took.

I had my Dr. appt yesterday.  Overall, it went well.  There is a new Dr. at the clinic and she was the last one I had to see before going back to my normal Dr.  I really like her and wouldn't mind her being my Dr. the rest of the time.  I do actually get to see her again in a couple of weeks so maybe it'll stay that way.  She informed me that my 3 hr glucose results were not as good as I was told by 2 previous people.  Technically I passed.  One number (the 2 hour draw) was higher than it should've been.  But the 1 hr draw was only 1 point under the cutoff.  So she wants me to go to a diabetic counselor and monitor my blood sugar levels until my next appt.  I get to meet with the counselor tomorrow afternoon and I got my glucose monitor today.  Yay.  I'm actually really happy that she's making me do it to be on the safe side, and irritated that I wasn't told to do this before.  She will decide at my next appt after seeing the results if I need to keep monitoring or not.

I gained 1.5 lbs since my last visit which I was happy about.  I always worry I'm going to gain over 5 lbs at a time....and in a two week period that would not be good!  My blood pressure was 100/62.  That seems low but she said it was good.  I know if it goes to 90 or below they become concerned.  I am also measuring 32 weeks.  That makes sense if my due date hadn't changed. :)  The Dr. said if it was 4 weeks greater or less than my current they'd have to set up an ultrasound.  So everything is going great (other than the whole gestational diabetes thing, but I'm not worried about it).

I think that's about it for this week.  We're going to the prenatal imaging center on Friday to see our little boy! Hopefully he cooperates so we can see his pretty little face. :)  I'll do a post about that this weekend too.
