32 weeks prego

32 weeks - oh my :) 

its crazy how fast time flies when there is so much to do.

 i am loving my baby belly.  it is SO fun to feel baby move! and baby LOVES to move. it rolls around like crazy...& punches...& kicks...& does some elbow punch thing to the ribs...HARD!  this kid is an animal :)

so much has happened the past few weeks.  it turns out the snapple drink wasn't such a fluke after all and i have gestational diabetes. fun stuff. it was a bit stressful at first but once we met with a nutritionist & figured out how to manage & test my sugar levels it hasn't been that bad. 

and i haven't been gaining weight and my tummy is still measuring small so we had an ultrasound to make sure baby is growing on track...and baby is. its just me that isn't. doctor said i've been controlling my diabetes too well (whatever that means) and i need to eat more of the foods that wont effect my sugar levels...like protein & veggies...to gain weight.  this last visit i gained 2 pounds in one week. yeah for me! :)

during the ultrasound we found out i have marginal placenta previa. this baby better love its momma! :)  we have an ultrasound in a month and at that time they will decide if i will be allowed to deliver vaginally or if a c-section will be necessary.

at 34 weeks we start going to the hospital twice a week to have the baby's heart monitored - for about 30 minutes each session.  because of the diabetes the doctor wants to monitor baby's heart rate to make sure it isn't stressed.  if baby shows signs of stress they will induce me and have me deliver early.  if what the doctors say is a true, 'a moving baby is a happy baby' then this baby is very, very happy and things will be just fine! :)

   

and momma will be very, very happy as long as we make to the neil diamond concert :)
