Possibilities and relief

So I had my 34 week checkup today and it was probably the most enlightening/nerve wrecking of my LIFE! The appointment went great. A few weeks ago they found out I do in fact have Gestational Diabetes (GD). My last appt my numbers were all over the place, this appt went much better and my numbers were under control. So, good news there. David's heart beat was strong and I was measuring right at where I should be for as far along as I am.

I finally got to speak to the anesthesiologist regarding my allergy and the birthing. They are going to be able to make the drug I can use at the hospital, so there are no worries! I might be induced around 37/38 weeks so they can control the birth and to make sure my Doc and the anesthesiologist are on the floor at the same time.

I got the birth plan today, so we start planning. I am also pre-admitted into the hospital and got the paper work for his birth certificate.

Other than that, Tim has been in Twentynine Palms since Sunday and should be back on the 21. Cross your fingers he comes home early. I have to call radiology tomorrow to schedule a growth scan (special thanks to the GD) and see how big David is getting. Again, cross your fingers Tim can be here for the ultrasound.

Thats all going on here. I'm sure I've forgotten a LOT but I need a nap. This lil guy is taking a lot out of me and Bear (the dog) keeps yelling at me :)
