I just got back from my doctor visit. Everything is looking great. Baby’s size and heartbeat are normal and good. My blood sugar was ok. Iron ok. Weight and blood pressure ok.

Then we got to the portion of the visit where I get to ask whatever questions I have. Patrick wanted me to ask how long after my due date I’d be allowed to go before being induced. Neither of us are super fond of the idea of induction unless it is necessary for the health of the baby or um, me. So when I got the very assurred, “Oh you won’t be going past your due date. With diabetes, we’ll probably have you go a week early” it wasn’t exactly the answer I was looking for. If that holds true instead of being due on the day of my last final, I’ll have to arrange to take my finals a week early. Also, that means that this Thursday when I’m supposed to switch to having 9 weeks left, I’ll only have 8. So yes, I’m freaking out a little, feel free to join me!

I know it will all be fine, but right now I’m very nervous about the things that aren’t ready. Especially Patrick and I! So Kelli, I told you there was no way I could hold out until your birthday on May 17th!

Luckily Kelli threw a lovely shower for me on Sunday where I got a lot of great stuff to get us started. The baby won’t be naked. We can bath and groom it. And it will have blankets and a few toys to keep it company. It was very nice girl time to have everyone over and I really enjoyed it. Kelli was nervous as it was her first baby shower to throw, but I thought it was great! It was my first baby shower to attend too 🙂

Oh, I’m also having a pain that I asked about. The great news is that it will get worse as the baby gets lower. And it will probably spread to both sides instead of just one. Ouch.

    While I should be glad that you thought it was a lovely shower, if you have never been to one, how would you know?? 🙂 I am glad you liked it though. I enjoyed putting it all together and working on the decorations. Nothing like filling baby bottles up with candy, lol.

    Okay, so I am a little bummed that you definitely won’t be having it on my birthday. Man. But try and at least keep it in May, okay? No earlier than that. Oooh, what if you have it on Mother’s Day? Sweet the first year, then sucks to be you the rest of the kid’s life. 🙂

    I still have a few little things that I want to get for the baby before it comes. Maybe with each paycheck a little something. I am just so excited!

    Sorry to hear that the pain is going to get worse. 🙁 I don’t envy you. Be tough, Mags. Cowgirl up! 🙂

    Love ya!
