Sorry it has been so long since I have updated the blog!
New Alice info:
We had what was supposed to be our last sonogram yesterday, but it looks like I will have to have one more before she is born. She is giant right now, measuring the the 86%, which means she is 5 lbs 5 oz. Normal babies at 33 weeks weigh just over 4 lbs, so she is measuring about mid 35 weeks. So to be proactive about her weight, I will be taking the 3 hour sugar test and trying to cut out all sugar and white flour. Some people know what the sugar test is, but in case you don't it tests you for gestational diabetes, which makes for larger birth weight. My first test was normal, but because she is so big they want to double check. As for my weight, I am on average, but could begin to get really high. As of now, I have gained 33 lbs, when I came back from Texas I gained 7 lbs! So had to check myself the last 3 weeks and only gained 2 lbs, which is such a relief.
All of that sounds serious, but nothing to worry about it just yet. I am choosing to look at this in a different way, that she will come early! Babies are full term at 37 weeks, which she will be on October 27. Here's to hoping to not being pregnant too long! We are both really healthy though, just a tiny pot hole!
I have taken pictures of the nursery completed with the beautiful new camera Billy and Val Mathis got us, but our iphoto won't let us download it! So we are checking on the problem to get them posted. It is beautiful though and so excited to bring her home and show her what we've put together.
With the due date drawing so close, I will make a better effort to update more!
