Paying Off

I know that I have complained a lot about my diet. I work very hard on keeping to it. Yes, I spoil myself once in a great while, but sometimes a pregnant girl needs some sweets! Anyway, like I said, I work very hard on my diet, well today I found out that it is paying off. Kevin and I had our 32 weeks appointment today. My doctor was so happy for me that we have found the right amount of medicine to keep my blood sugar on track, and I can still eat the right amount of food. Of course she told me that I can't go over board on the holiday treats, but she seems satisfied with my progress. Hearing that from my doctor felt so good I can't even begin to tell you. But that does not mean things will remain the same, I might need more help later on. But still at the moment the medicine and diet is working for me. There have been nights when I would just start crying because my blood sugar was too high, and I did everything right. I ate the right amount of food, but it wasn't showing. I would be extremely frustrated! Now that it is showing, I feel much more confident and relaxed. Logan is growing at the right rate, and doesn't seem to be too big. I have an ultrasound on the 19th to make sure he is doing okay. Also, because I am a semi high risk pregnancy I have to do a stress test every week. That means once a week I go to my doctors' and they strap me to a monitor and I listen to the baby's heartbeat for half an hour. I will be doing this until the end. It is to make sure that Logan is not stressed due to the diet. I'm actually looking forward to this. My doctor said it is a really neat experience. I also talked to my doctor about my ribs right under my right breast. I told her that it is very sensitive, and it hurts to wear a bra, could the baby have bruised my rib? She said it is very unlikely that he did. My ribs are expanding to make more room for the baby, which can cause some pain right where I was describing. So I over-reacted about my ribs, they are not bruised. As for my hormones, they are still in force, and we are just learning to deal with them as we need to. Kevin has been great. I really can't say that enough.
The baby's room is also coming together. Baby's room meaning the only bedroom in our small place. As I type, Kevin is finishing the changing table that my dad and Susan got for us. The crib has been set up for a while. We have also changed the living room around to make better room for the baby stuff, like the swinger and bouncer and such. Everything is coming together at last. I'm looking forward to the changing table being completed so I can start putting his cloths away and getting stuff in order. We want to make sure everything is done soon because Kevin says that I could go into labor any day now. I'm not worried about going into labor early I understand that it could happen, but I also understand that most first timers go past their due dates, besides, I'm going for Jan 19. I would like to keep the tradition of same birth date as the grandmother. So I am shooting for your birthday Mom, we just need to convince Logan to come on that day, he may not listen to his mother, but I am trying!
I'm super glad that my hard work is paying off, and that the end is getting closer. I can't wait to hold my beautiful child in my arms for the first time, and feel that unconditional love flow through me.
