Baby Update

 

I thought I’d give a little baby update, since we’ve been unsure of when we think the baby will come… I was told a couple of weeks ago that I was measuring 3 weeks ahead, but the real case, we found out, is that there’s more amniotic fluid surrounding the baby. So really, I am right on track with the due date. It never crossed my mind that this would be the reason I look so big, and don’t really understand what causes it. The doctor told me it could be a couple of reasons, including gestational diabetes, but I have already passed that test a month or so ago. Since this fluid thing, my doctor decided to have me drink that yummy (NOT) glucose drink and re-do the test and to also have weekly non-stress tests done. So I went in today, and the fluid has increased a bit, but things are lookin’ a-okay. They did tell me that it’s likely I will go early, though. Yay! (As long as everything is alright, of course) So now I guess it is just the waiting game until the little guy decides to come. It’s been fun this week setting up the bassinet and washing all the newborn stuff. Can’t wait to see him!
