Sorry I haven't been around much. Time is going by so fast and there is so much to do! Everything is going well. I continue to take my blood sugar levels 4 times a day and have been able to manage everything with diet and a little bit of exercise, emphasis on a little bit. I am hoping that if everything goes well again this week, the doctor will reduce the number of times I have to test each day. I would probably still want to test at night since dinner is what can throw me off a little, mostly because it's hard to eat the same things over and over again for dinner and I need a little variety. Variety can cause trouble, but so far so good.
I had my first non stress test yesterday and that went well. I have to go weekly from now on. Basically they strap you to a machine which measures the babies heartbeat and movement. The doctor I went to yesterday was happy with the results after about 15 minutes, but I've heard one of the other docs will likely keep me there for an hour. Ugh. Fortunately, I only have one appointment with her. Everything is still measuring well, and I didn't gain any weight this week. Yeah :)!
Sunday is my baby shower, more yeah! I am very excited. It's going to be fun, although a bit crowded at the house but we'll manage. I'm just happy so many people are able to come. And, although some might argue that I shouldn't have to clean for my own shower, I've been quite content getting lots of organizing and cleaning done. I guess it's putting those nesting instincts to good use and I don't just look crazy since there is a reason for it. John has made great progress on the second bathroom, I think everyone will be rather impressed. And some how I think we're actually going to be able to go to the football game on Saturday. Talk about good time management.
In honor of Britney's new baby, I thought this would be the appropriate Baby song of the week.
