32 Weeks



My belly certainly has grown since I last put a picture up here. Can you believe that I am only 52 days from my due date?!?!?! Won't be long! ;o)
I went for my 3 hour glucose screen on Monday. My fasting glucose level was 117 so I am pretty sure that I am going to be diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. I will find out the results on Wednesday when I go for my next appointment.

Wow...

has it really been that long since I last posted? Now that I think of it I tried to post a couple weeks ago and it didn't post. Sorry I have been slacking! It is not for lack of interesting information, but lack of motivation to sit at the computer.

Can you believe that I am 32 weeks already?!?!? I really can't wait to meet this little boy of ours. I feel like I am getting to know him better and better every day as he is so much more active than I ever remember Pheoby being at this stage. We got to see his sweet face last week! It was a struggle to get a good image of his face because of the way he was positioned. He was head down and facing my back. We did see his face for a brief moment and during the moments we could see his face he blessed us with a big yawn! The mommy in me loved it! It has always been hard for me to grasp the concept of people seeing their babys doing great things during their ultrasounds. We have only seen normal hanging out with not much activity. But this yawn.... oh, my! That was amazing! My boy is a real, living, "breathing" boy who yawns!!!

Anyway... the reason for my ultrasound was that I measured big the week prior. So they wanted to check on him. I also had elevated glucose on my first glucola screening. I go early in the AM to start my 3 hour glucose test. I am not sure how long it will take to get the results back, but I am sort of expecting for the test to tell us that I have gestational diabetes. There are too many signs pointing to it, I guess. I am hoping that I am just trying to protect myself by preparing for a diagnosis. The good news that I keep clinging to is that if I do indeed have gestational diabetes then more than likely I will meet my boy early! Hey... just trying to look at the bright side! ;o)

Well... since I have to be at the doctor's office by 8 AM, I probably should get to bed! I am sleepy and know I will regret staying up so late tonight, but hey... I am planning a nap after my test! ;o)
