Test Results

Well, yesterdays appt went relatively well. The good news is I don't have gestational diabetes! Yay! The ultrasound also went well, although I didn't get any good pictures. The doctor says McNugget looks great. She is about 2.5 lbs now and is right on schedule. The ultrasound was to do an anatomy check, and they said all her little parts look perfect too. Unfortunately, because it was a medically necessary/anatomy check the ultrasound tech was not so forthcoming with the cute pictures of the little one that I would've liked to of seen. So, no pictures this time :( Hopefully, we'll get some next time.

However, along with the good news, were a few concerns. The biggest is my blood pressure. It is a little bit higher than it should be. We are keeping a close eye on it and doing further testing. They were also a little concerned that I am too swollen. Treatments include drinking lots more water, staying out of the heat, and laying on my left side as much as possible (especially while sleeping). They also want me to reduce my stress level (easier said than done) and start a low carb/low sugar diet. Yesterday, Justin and I went grocery shopping to jump start my new diet. I'm actually looking forward to it, kind of like a challenge, you know?

Now that I am fully into the 3rd trimester, I am getting more and more excited! I have so much to look forward to during these next 3 months, mostly Justin finishing his project and getting our home ready for our new arrival. I also look forward to seeing many of you in the near future. Cheers!
