29 Week Checkup

I had my appointment today, the baby's heartbeat was 136-140 range. I did not gain any weight since last time, my total weight gain so far is 8 lbs, the doctor said I am doing great and keep up the good work. My blood sugar levels are border line for insulin, but the doctor does not think I need insulin yet but she reminded me that I cannot cheat on my diet at all, it will show up in my sugar levels, so during Christmas to be careful with all of the cookies etc. I shrugged and said, "I know.....it is hard."

My varicose veins are ok at this point, unless my leg becomes extremely tender and/or starts to swell there is not much to be concerned about. She said that we can talk after the baby is born about getting them taken care of.

Bill tried to make it to this appointment but did not get there in time, he took a wrong turn and due to the snow he came to the appointment right as I was leaving. He was bummed, but I know his heart was in the right place and I love him for that.

So now I start my appointments every two weeks, hopefully he can make it to one of those. It is winding down to that special day when we get to look sweet pea in the eyes. We are getting really excited to meet this little person that is so active in my belly.
