Well, today was very interesting and exciting. I spent 3 hours at the Diabetic Clinic this morning. It appears that my body just isn't cooperating with the current insulin recommendations. So, they increased my dosage at night and added shots before breakfast, lunch and dinner. My first instinct is to beat myself up over this whole diabetic mess. However, I have been assured repeatedly that it has nothing to do with what I am eating. I have actually lost 2 lbs. in the past 1 1/2 weeks. On to better news....
We had our final ultasound this afternoon. It wasso exciting to see Autumn bouncing around in my tummy! She weighs approximately 3 lbs right now. I am so thankful she isn't getting too large. I was really concerned about this because is it common for babies who are born to gestational moms to be very large. She had her little hands up covering her face. I thought maybe she was just being bashful at first. Then, I remembered that Lee falls asleep with his hand over his face all the time. I teased him and said she was going to be just like her Daddy. We feel very blessed that she appears to be very healthy at this time. Please pray that everything continues to go well for us.
I start weekly visits next week and they have already sent over labor and delivery orders concerning my insulin, if in the event she comes a little early. The ladies at the Diabetic Clinic think she will come at least a week early. No comment from the doctor though. Hopefully, Mama will get her wish and Autumn will come before Christmas, so she can wear her cute Christmas dress. :)
