Our last appointment was 3/28.
Our next appointment is tomorrow 4/5.
We had our baby shower almost 2 weeks ago, on 3/24. It was great to see everyone!
We had our 3D ultrasound last Saturday 3/31.
Our next ultrasound will be somewhere around 36 weeks.. which is the end of April.
We're scheduled to get our pictures done NEXT Saturday 4/14 at 10am! I can't wait!
We met with the babysitter (Natalie) on 3/31. She was fantastic! We love her & her family! They're going to be a perfect fit.
At my last drs appointment, my stomach was measuring at the right weeks. My blood pressure was 108/56. Brodys heartrate was 'perfect', I think that he said it was in the 150s or something. We talked about my levels & where he wants them. He also mentioned that I'll be having my next ultrasound at 36 weeks.
As for an update on the diabetes, I thought I was doing well with it. But now my doctor wants to see me again, tomorrow.. about getting my levels down. I can't get my morning one down.. it's supposed to be below 90 and it's always between 93-96. I will probably have to get put on medication because there's nothing more that I can do to fix it. They told me to eat something right before bed & I have been doing that, and it's not helping. I guess we'll see what he says tomorrow.
I guess I'll update you on my swelling.. although there's not much to say except that my feet always look broken! A girl at work mentioned to me that it looks like my feet are out of a 'fat suit'. My doctor said that it's normal and as long as my blood pressure stays like it is then there is nothing to worry about.
My baby shower was a great success! I'm so grateful for each and every person that came and has supported me through all of this. We got everything that we need, including 5 bouncers lol. I guess people don't know how to mark things off of registeries! Oh well, that just means I get to go and take things back. The only thing that we didn't get any of was bottles, which clearly are one of the most important things! Now the only thing that is missing is Mr. Brody!
The 3D ultrasound that we had was AWESOME! I am SO glad that we decided to do it. It was once again, an amazing experience. He is a little full faced baby, with pouty lips & LOTS of hair. haha. He looks a lot like me when I was a baby with Tonys lips! Which I guess explains how I can't wait for him to get here so that we can see what color hair & stuff he has! He is measuring almost 2 weeks early. He weighs about 5 pounds & is around 18.9 inches. That is as big as some newborns! She said that he could gain up to 4 more pounds. YIKES! She also said he is in the 75th percentile. eek! It's getting really close!!! Sometimes I feel like I've been pregnant for SO long.. but then I think of the timelines of things and it really went by SO quickly.
Thats all for now. I'll probably update again after my appointment tomorrow & Easter this weekend!
<3 kisses!
