Week 28

I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone so far. We are now in the third trimester! We went back to the doctor on Thursday and here is what we found out....

• Most of my glucose levels are okay so the diet seems to be working. It was a bit of an adjustment at first but I am used to it by now and the sugar free stuff is growing on me. David even likes my Crystal Light!
• My morning levels are still high and that is after fasting so it could be an indicator that my body is not balancing the insulin and it has nothing to do with my diet at all.
• We will watch it for two more weeks and if it does not level off I will see an Endocrinologist to see what type of medicine would work for me.
• We did a sonogram and Miss Carly is happy and healthy according to the doctor because she is breathing!
• I will have to go back and visit the Perinatal doctor towards the end of the pregnancy to determine how big our sweetheart is.
• The plan is to watch her size and try to deliver naturally, but in the event that she is too big we will schedule a C-Section for the 39th week. Which would mean Carly would be here right after the 4th of July. (Which is days after I finish teaching Summer School which I was hired to do this week. Most people think I am crazy but I know if I sit idle I will stress and worry so I want to keep busy)
• I have had some sharp pains over the last week and Dr. Wagman thinks they are related to the stretching of my uterus, but we are going to measure the cervix next time to make sure there is nothing more going on.
• I go back every two weeks now

On top of all that, David finally felt Miss Carly move! She moves and kicks all of the time, but it never fails when he puts his hand on my belly she goes still. The other night we were on the couch watching TV and I told him to put his hand there and just wait. She barely moved and he felt it, but I assured him that is nothing compared to what she usually does!

We have the paint for the room picked out and all of her furniture is delivered (still in boxes). My Aunt is going to make her bedding and everything seems to be coming together. We still need a few pieces like a bookshelf, a toy box, and to pick up our rocker that my sweet Granny is giving us. My showers are both in May and the plan was to have her room sat up by then, but we may not make it to our goal.
