Week 34

Well, I had another ultrasound, but no picture this time! Dr. Moruzzi measured the head, abdomen, and femur of our little princess, and she's right on track! In fact, she's in the 51st percentile and weighing approximately 5 pounds, 2 ounces right now. So we don't have to be worried about her getting too big. It was amazing to see how big she has gotten, because we hadn't seen her in over 10 weeks! We got a great glimpse of her face with chubby cheeks and all!

I had my first baby shower last week, and it was a lot of fun. I got some very cute clothes as well as much needed items like diapers, a portable changing table, and burp rags. My mother's friends, aka my surrogate mothers, were at the shower. They made me feel very special, and I had a great time!

Week 33

Well, here I am, getting larger by the minute (at least it feels like it!). I have recently found out that I have a mild form of gestational diabetes. It's no big deal, I just have to watch my carb and sugar intake (which I should be doing anyway!). I check my blood glucose level four times a day to make sure I'm on track, and I usually am. I need to do this so our little lady does not get too big. I certainly don't want to push anything larger out than I already have to! Once she is born, I will no longer have this problem. It is all based on the placenta, so once that's gone, bring on the sugar! Just kidding! I have to lose that baby weight, right?! :) I have another ultrasound next week, so look for another picture soon!
