30th week

30TH WEEK

So we are now in our 30th week which I by the way cannot believe! e have approx 9.5-10 weeks till Jude's due date. I cannot wait to meet that little guy! I'm  been going to the Dr every other week now. I go back on Tuesday for a growth ultrasound to see how bid our little guy is. The one unfortunate thing is that as I have progressed my sugar is becoming less and less manageable. I'm still able to do it with just pills but as off this weekend I will be upping my daily dose by 1.25 mg possibly. I'm going to make one last stitch effort to do it with diet but if it doesn't work we will be upping by Monday. The Dr also has me doing kick counts twice a day now. Basically you just lay on your side quietly and need to feel the little one move at least 10 times in an hour. In the morning Jude is a little slower to get started( but I'm not a big morning person either lol) so he usually gets his 10 in by 25 mins max...But at night that little booger gets 10 kicks in within minutes... Also because I'm high risk every dr visit now they will be doing a non-stress test to make sure he is moving right and now showing any signs of stress. One problem people with Diabetes often have is calcification of the placenta. Basically if starts to die off to early and if not caught it can cause stillborn babies. So they like to track it often to make sure all is well. If he were to start showing signs of less movement thru the kick counts and/or the non-stress tests they would do another biological scan and possibly take him early. Lets just hope since my sugar is very well controlled all goes well and he gets to bake until its time for him to come=].
