Pregnancy Update + 32 Weeks Belly Pic

Since our computer was having issues I was never able to blog about my last OB appointment last week, so this is sort of a catch-up on all things going on with the pregnancy!

• Gestational Diabetes, my doctor was super proud of me and how serious I am taking this new lifestyle and told me I was a "very good diabetic." ;) I have to take my blood sugar levels 4 times a day, once when I first wake up (my "fasting" number) and one hour after every meal. My fasting numbers have pretty consistently been about 5-10 points above my target, and I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to get them to stay down- exercising at night, changing up the time of my nighttime snack, changing up what I have for my nighttime snack, changing the time I test in the morning, etc etc. He said he wasn't concerned because they were not that off and I was still learning what foods trigger high numbers, so he said he would give me 2 more weeks and then if they are still consistently high he may put me on an oral medication to take at night. So, so far no insulin, PRAISE GOD! Because of this new diet and exercise regimen I have lost 8 pounds... putting me 4 pounds UNDER my starting weight. Yeah, I am 8 months pregnant and 4 pounds lighter than when I started, lol!
• Pregnancy, my doctor mentioned he will want to induce at 39 weeks because of the GD and my high blood pressures when I come in the office. So, please PRAY PRAY PRAY that she will come on her own before the induction day, because I REALLY do not want to be induced again. It is saddening to think of being induced again, but also exciting to know that she will be here in no longer than 7 weeks! Only 6 more Tuesdays until I get to hold my baby girl! That is very exciting. :) So her birthday will be on or before August 11th (you can feel free to change your guess on the baby pool if you would like, lol). I also will start doing Non-Stress Tests twice a week at the hospital starting the 1st of July. A NST is when they monitor the baby's movements and heart-rate for an alloted amount of time, which is another precaution they are taking because of the blood pressures and GD. But I do get to do something fun because of all these issues- I get another ultrasound!!!! :) I will actually have 2 more, because he wants to check her growth every 4 weeks, so I have 1 on the 10th of July, and then after that I will schedule another one for 4 weeks later. So that will be fun, I love getting to see my girl. :) When he measured my fundus I was measuring right on at 30 (I was 30 weeks, 6 days at my appointment), so that gives me hope that she is just the perfect size and not getting too big, please continue to pray for her growth! :)
• My Belly, here is the updated slide show with my 32 Week Belly pic, enjoy!

(I was unable to edit it on Photoshop to add 32 Weeks, since our iMac is out of commission, so just know the last pic is 32 Weeks.) :)
