29 Week Update

  • I've tested my blood sugar 15 times since I got my home kit and haven't had a single reading out of the normal range!

  • At my doctor's appointment today I learned that, as expected, I just barely failed the glucose test. But apparently resistance to insulin gets worse throughout the pregnancy, so even though I'm doing fantastic right now, I could still have some issues in a few weeks if I don't keep monitoring my levels. So I'll keep on fingersticking four times a day til this baby arrives.

  • I've lost a few pounds since I stopped gorging on sugar (who knew?) and now I'm only up 23 pounds for the pregnancy (woohoo!). :)

  • I'm still measuring 3 weeks big... which means...

  • I GET TO SEE MY BABY AGAIN! They're scheduling me for an ultrasound sometime before my next appointment (which is in two weeks), so I should see my little girl this week or next week. :)
Overall, a very good 29 week update!

Yea for all of the good news! Do you think she'll be holding up a sign that says "Hi from Elena!" when you see her in there? :)
