My 1st NST and OB appointment #7

This morning I had my first Non-Stress Test and everything went perfectly! My blood pressures were great, her heart-rate was beautiful, she wiggled and moved around for us, her oxygen levels were exactly where they should be, and I was SO happy! I also got an ultrasound (surprise bonus!!) to check my amniotic fluid levels, and I got to see our pretty girl as well! And I will get to see her EVERY week! Hooray! :) My amniotic fluid levels were perfect as well (they want it to be between 8 and 25cm and mine was 15.6 something), so everything is looking great!! :)

At my appointment my doctor took a look at my glucose readings and has decided to put me on an oral medication to see if that works to keep my morning fasting numbers down. I will go on half a dose until Tuesday, and if it looks like it is helping then he will put me on the full dose for the remainder of the pregnancy, but if it isn't working he will put me on insulin. PLEASE PRAY IT WORKS! He stressed over and over how proud he was of me, and how well I'm sticking to the diet and exercise, and just reassured me that it was a product of the pregnancy, and completely out of my control. That definitely made me feel better and less like I was "failing" when I had high numbers. I lost another pound, so I'm 5 under my starting weight, lol, and he measured my fundus and I'm measuring at 34, so a week ahead. We will hopefully get a better idea of her size at the ultrasound on Friday, but I'm not concerned because Ben starting measuring ahead at this point as well, and he was perfectly normal sized.

I scheduled all my appointments for the rest of the pregnancy, AND an induction day! :-O Unless she comes on her own (please PRAY SHE DOES!) I will be induced the morning of Monday August 10th. :) 40 days, people, 40 days!!!! I can't even believe it!

I am so grateful for a healthy baby and a wonderful appointment today, praise God!! :)
