I found out today that I do NOT have gestational diabetes! WOO! I'm still a bit skeptical and probably will be until my next doctors appointment, but there are no other tests scheduled. I'm feeling rather lucky that somehow I beat the odds. Maybe I should play the lotto this week!
I’m happy not to have to drink the super sugary drink one more time, happy not to have to maintain a very STRICT diet, happy not to have to prick my fingers multiple times a day for the next few weeks, and mainly very, very happy that there is less risk to the baby during the remaining weeks of the pregnancy and during labor. I knew this time around I’d be less worried and less concerned since I knew I could manage it, but it is still a BIG relief.
I am officially in the third trimester now and the baby weighs something like two and one quarter pounds and is probably around 15 inches already. I now need to monitor kick counts; every day, I need to make sure the baby kicks at least ten times during one hour (the doc recommends checking the same hour every day). So far, measuring kicks won't be a problem. This little baby of mine is one active kid!
Hurray for no "diabeetus!" That's great news. I can't believe you're already in the third trimester. Wow. Time really does fly. Baby W will be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteYea, that is fantastic news! I am so happy for you and like Stephanie, I can't believe it is the third trimester already. You must be getting so excited to meet the newest Wiseley and finally find out if Baby W is a boy or a girl!
ReplyDeleteI echo the disbelief that it's your third trimester already! I'm glad everything is on track for you, and that you can eat what you want over the holidays!
