Seven Months

Just a few more weeks!

28 week prenatal appointment, kick count card, & gestational diabetes, oh my!

On friday I had to take the dreaded 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and unfortunately I failed it :( The first time I took it a few months ago, I was only glucose intolerant. So, I got a call on monday afternoon stating that 2 of my readings were high so I had to schedule a gestational diabetes class which was yesterday. Man, it's a strict diet. Not too bad, but you really have to be aware of what you're eating. It's almost like an Atkins diet but we don't completely rule out carbs. Just gotta cut down on it and spread it out throughout the day. Worse part for me though: no rice and less fruits!!! I also have to check my blood sugar with a Glucometer 4 times a day. I'm so bummed, but hey, I gotta do what I gotta do for this babester, right?

My appointment went well. Everything was fine. I'm finally gaining weight and my fundal length is right on the mark of where I'm supposed to be. The baby's heart beat is perfect as well.

I started my kick count card this week. I'm supposed to time the baby how long it takes for him to move/kick 10 times and then record it. So far it's only taking him 10-20 minutes. Such a boy, right? ;)
