So, I started on my Gestational Diabetes diet last week while on vacation and must say that I'm doing really well (thanks to the support of my wonderful husband). We met with the Diabetes doctor today and he didn't seem too concerned with my numbers since they were so close to the cutoff, but said that the numbers I've been coming up with with the blood sugar monitor I received this weekend are normal. Basically this means that I don't have to go back to see them again until September 22 unless my numbers go off the charts and then I'd have to check back in sooner.
They took an ultrasound just to make sure Ella (they confirmed yet again that the baby is a girl) is measuring normal, which she is. They calculated her weight to be just around 4lbs 10oz (give or take a pound - hopefully take, not give; don't want her to be too big) and they're figuring that she'll weigh around 8 pounds at the time of delivery. Because she's getting bigger, the pictures are not the best; plus she had her hand up to her head the whole time (she seems to like that position). But she is head down (in a diagnol across my stomach), so that's good.
Other than that, I have my 2 week follow up tomorrow morning, which they'll probably tell me the same thing that I heard today.
Will keep everyone posted! :)
Love Vickie, Mike and Ella
