Today marks 25 weeks in this second pregnancy. I went in on Tuesday for my regular monthly check-up and for my glucose test. Dr. D did his first belly measurement, my anemia levels looked good, and then the moment I was dreading came. Since I had gestational diabetes last time around, there was a strong chance that I would have it this time too. I was supposed to get a 140 or less on the blood test. I ended up getting a 144. Slightly over, but since I did so well maintaining my diet and blood sugar levels last time, Dr. D said I could just watch what I eat and skip the 5 times a day blood testing. I just about jumped up to hug him. If Silas starts measuring big though, I will have to start doing the finger pricking.
Mark your calendars, because Silas' birthday will be August 8th unless he decides to surprise us before then. The C-section is scheduled and we are just giddy about his arrival.
