one day at a time....

CHECKUP #1:

This morning with Dr. Conner, Mommy is 36 weeks and 2 days and measuring at 33 weeks, no concern just basically mean I am ALL baby in the tummy. Weight gain is still minimal and good (likely due to the diabetic diet) and Baby D was very mellow today, hear tones just around 125. Not much action going on down below quite yet, only about a 1 and her head is not quite down there, so basically she has not fully dropped yet. The plan is still to induce at 39 weeks (yay!) however if I go into labor on my own, they will also not stop me (double yay!) In other news, apparently I'm looking well - haha - NOT! Even Dr. Conner can tell when she came in that I "wear the look of a pregnant woman that looks like she's reached then end and is done".

CHECKUP #2, ULTRASOUND:

They are VERY please with my sugars and Baby D's growth. She is currently about 6lbs 5oz and everything else is looking well. As our tech measured her bones, checked heart and lungs we actually got to see her kicking on screen! Was really amazing to be able to actually see her leg kicking AND watch my whole belly move at the same time! We had a hard time getting to see her face this time as it was all squished and the umbilical cord was in front of it :( we did however once again see those chubba cheeks, and boy does she ever have them! I can't wait to see them in person :)

CONGRATS TYLER

What a busy week we had! Tyler had TWO T-ball games this week and we had conferences as well. Tyler has improved tremendously receiving all 1's and one 2. I always knew he was smart but I absolutely LOVE that his teacher can tell me things that will surprise and impress me. All in all he is officially ready for Kindergarten!

I can't believe the school year is almost to an end and summer is almost here. And I can't believe that I will be home ALONE with a newborn and a 5 year old - cheers! Cuz I am sure a couple Summer Shandy's will be in order :)
