31weeks

I had a scan, physician and obstetrician appointment yesterday. So far all is looking well and she is within normal ranges so we are stoked!! They are happy with how things are progressing at this stage so the aim is still to be induced around 38-40weeks. There is still the plan that they won't let me go over our due date so we still have the definite end date.... now we just hope that things carry on going well. She is currently about 4lbs, they anticipate that if things carry on how they are that she will be about 7 1/2lbs when she is born if we go full term. So all in all im happy with that :)
Oh and the scan shows that she is not breech!!! She is actually head down so yay - stay that way baby girl!!!


I have just completed my first week of maternity leave. I have been surprised at how tired I am! I guess its due to stopping and my body realising it has time to catch up on some needed rest which has been good. So while I have been kept busy I have definitely been resting! Next week I plan to get onto my "To-Do List" of things before baby arrives.


Its also been a bit easier to manage my blood levels with not working. Still the odd spike here and there but all in all more stable and I can eat when I need to. Yesterday at the appointments they said I will end up on insulin as already on a high dose of metformin for my stage of pregnancy and the hormones get to a point when they plateau while on it and therefore the insulin is needed. Im ok with this, have already prepared myself for this envitibility. Besides, I started this pregnancy with jabs, may as well end it with them also :)


I started the pregnancy aqua classes with a girl who is due a few weeks ahead of me - its been nice! The water is quite relaxing and its good feeling like im doing some form of exercise, albeit gentle. Its good from the gestational diabetes side of things too, every little bit helps afterall. Even with the changes I have made to my diet I have somehow managed to lose 2kgs so that makes a total of 4kgs gained during this pregnancy thus far... gotta be happy with that!!


So its been a good week all up :)
