More thing(s) that I miss from life-before-the-belly:
Walking sans waddle and normal undies
We just returned from the cruise. Bummer, vacation is over! =( The dietician was surprised I was able to manage my diet and sugar levels so well. She said I have naturally fallen into a plan that meets their guidelines. Yay!
May 18, 2011 - OB Appointment (Week 30)
Weight gain: 20lb
Baby size: 15.2-16.7in, 2.5-3.8lb (FH 30cm)
Baby heart rate: 130-140bpm
Glucose monitoring seems to be going well. The dietician looked at my notes and test results and commended me for my efforts. Dr. J is also happy with the progress.
We just returned from our cruise and now I can't wait until April 2012 when we get to take baby with us on our Western Caribbean Cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy. =) We are so fortunate to be able to take these trips with you - as someone always stays at our house to watch it while we're gone.
May 19, 2011 - Week 30
Dr. J actually said he's not certain I am actually diabetic and that the monitoring was a "better safe than sorry" situation. It's nice to know that he thinks they may have overreacted a bit. We discussed how healthy you are - and the amount of movement you do... I told him I don't really bother with kick counts so much as long as I feel baby move throughout the day - mostly because baby moves most of the day.
I discussed with him my desire to lose 20-40 pounds between this baby and our next one (we are going to wait a year and then try for a second). It will be a lot of hard work, but I know I can do it...and it will definitely be worth it!
Sarah O. said I grew larger on the cruise. :-) She's so funny!
May 26, 2011 - Week 31
I am now most comfortable sleeping:
on my side
I am now getting up to pee 1-2 times per night.
Somewhere along the way, my belly has grown larger! It's so cool to see baby boy moving and to feel him reaching and stretching!
June 2, 2011 - Week 32
I can't believe how humid it has been! It is going to get worse before it gets better, I'm afraid. Darn you, Mother Nature! I guess I need to invest in some shorts and tank tops.
Even growing up in Oklahoma didn't prepare me for this added discomfort. Hello shorts, I love you! (I have to do something to keep us both somewhat cool.)
