Good News on the GD front!

Had a good appointments this week. Tuesday I had my 3rd Ultrasound. They confirmed that yes she is still a girl. :) She was quite curled up so no great photo opportunities. Now that I have gestational diabetes (GD), the doctors want to monitor me more throughout the remainder of the pregnancy; so, I'll be getting another ultrasound in a month. While this might sound fun, apparently because the baby starts to grow out of room, the pictures dont come out as clear.

My Wed appointment with the nutritionist was good, as she gave me add'l pointers on what I'm eating- giving me clearance to eat a bit more fruit, dairy, and fish. The time with the endocrinologist was fine also. Because my glucose levels are being maintained (thanks to Peter's strict diet, iron fist enforcement, and regimented schedule), they said the diabetes can be controlled at this time through adjustments to my diet. Therefore I will not need tablets or insulin shots at this time -- praise the Lord! Next appointment is mid-March.
