Wow, I cannot believe I have waited this long to post another entry! It has been a while since my last post, so let me try and remember everything that has gone on since then!! First off, here is the latest picture of our little man (this was taken about 5 weeks ago- i didn't get an ultrasound at my last appointment) so he has certainly grown since this picture!
It's kind of blurry but his face is on the right and his belly is on the left! After we finished with the ultrasound that day, the ultrasound tech said "When is your due date, again?" and when I told her she said "Well he is measuring a little big, so we'll see what the doctor says about your due date"... yeah, apparently this baby is HUGE. He is already in the 97th percentile (which measn he is bigger than 97% of other babies at that stage!) haha. Fabulous. At that point in time, the baby should have weighed about 8 ounces, but he weighed a whopping 1 pound 2 ounces! I asked Dr. Tynes if this meant that my due date was off, and she said "No, you will just have a big baby!". Greeeeeaaatt. But, in all honesty, Jackson was a pretty big baby too so it didn't really surprise me. I just hope he isn't too big to have naturally, because i DO NOT want a C Section!!!!! Also, at this doctors appointment they found sugar in my urine when they tested my sample, so she was concerned that because of the baby's size, and the sugar in my urine, that i might have gestational diabetes. (Which of course had me FREAKED out). So, she sent me the next day to take my gestational diabetes test. The first test is a one hour test. You fast for breakfast, go in and have your fasting blood drawn then you have to drink this sugary drink and then they draw your blood again to see how your blood sugar levels are after you have the sugary drink. Well, apparently all did not go well with my first test, and I failed it BAD. I really don't know what went wrong (possibly the cupcakes with chocoloate chip cookies in them that i had made for work a few days before!!!!!). So after I failed my first test, they had me come in and do another, longer, test to see what the results would be. If i passed it- all would be good. If i failed it- it meant that I did have gestational diabetes. Luckily- I PASSED! At my doctors appointment last week she told me that I passed with flying colors, and that nothing looked abnormal at all (WHEW!!!!!!). She did say that I may have to take the test again in the future (because they usually test all pregnant women later in their pregnancy) but she said we would discuss that at my next appointment!
