Good Pregnancy News

Well I went to the perinatologist, Dr Wold (who is awesome! He is funny, caring, & everything I love in a Dr) at Center for Maternal Fetal Care and he thinks things are looking good. I had a full ultrasound that checked for all the defects that you can have with GD (heart, weight, head, etc...) and the baby checked out OK. Plus the baby is measuring right on schedule and is (about, since it isn't perfect) 4.8 lbs. Which is in the 50% for 33 weeks gestation. So I don't seem to have any negative effects so far. BIG SIGH of relief... The Dr is hopeful that I can control it through just diet & exercise, which would be awesome. As long as I don't have to be put on medication then my risks from the GD go down to a normal pregnancy. Yeah!! So I get to test my blood 4 times a day & I pray that my numbers stay in the normal range. Crossing fingers. If everything stays in range I will see him in 4 weeks just to double check the baby.

Here is a cute picture of our little bundle of joy (not the best picture because the baby's head is down ~ mmmm... all the way down if you know what I mean so my pelvic bone was in the way).We were worried that we would find out the babys sex at the ultrasound, but it turns out no worries. The ultrasound tech said even if we wanted to find out we would have a hard time seeing. The baby is big enough that it is in the fetal position (legs together & pulled up to the chest) so no, we still don't know. =)
