growing belly

My little Jude, dancing in my belly as I type, reminded me to post these pictures. I'm feeling really good. Honestly by this time I thought I'd be waddling and uncomfortable. Instead I feel wonderful. I think because I can't really sit still with Silas, I haven't had a chance to feel uncomfy. Darn those occasional leg cramps in the middle of the night (like bad charlie horses).

I don't think I really look 8 months preggo, but my mom says she was smaller than me, so I guess I'm "normal". Stop laughing. Had a doc appointment last week and all looks good and is measuring on target.

29 weeks 1 day (because I'm sure the one day makes a big difference).

31 weeks

A couple of weeks ago I tested positive for Gestational Diabetes. Oh joy. Actually my doc visit confirmed that all is going well with that. I'm controlling it with diet and keeping track of glucose levels by sticking my finger 4 times per day. Sweet Jude, you're worth it. Because of the GD, I had to go see a "high risk OB/GYN". Since he gave me a good report, he said I could continue seeing my Nurse Midwife which makes me really happy.

Working on the nursery now and feeling the nesting coming on. Going to childbirth classes and after those videos, I'll never be the same. Actually after the miracle of this birth, I know I'll never be the same.

I turned 32 weeks on Sunday (yesterday), but I haven't taken a picture yet. I'll add it when I do.

Hope you're in the Christmas spirit and getting ready for the ultimate birth...Jesus!
