Doctors appointments... oh the joy!

We have had a couple doctors appointments since our last blog... this is going to be a long update!!

We went to the Dr on 9/29 and I had to take the diabetes test along with our scheduled sonogram, our sonogram got cut short because our Dr had an emergency and had to go to delivery and check on a patient. I am totally fine with that because it shows she cares about her patients, I was fine and the other lady was having issues so she jetted off to check on her! I would totally want her to do the same thing with me!! We got the results of the test on 10/4 and I had failed the short test and needed to go back to the Dr the next day to take the three hour test, well I failed that one too! So on 10/11 Ethan and I went to a dietitian and I am now on a meal plan and I have to check my blood 4 times a day! It is a little stressful for me because I have never been good about obeying diets, but I have done really good and I am proud of myself! (probably because I would do anything to make sure we have a healthy baby!)

Since I have gestational diabetes I will be induced on December 9th to make sure Tinsley does not get too big for our birth plan. I am a little relieved that she has given me a date, because I am a planner I like to have things planned out! I have been getting a little stressed out trying to make sure I have everything ready for all of us when we go to the hospital and for when we come home. I know I am not going to be able to drive so I am trying to make a list so I have everything planned and ready!

We had our most recent Dr appointment last Wednesday 10/21 and we got to have a short "just for fun" sonogram... well we caught Tinsley sucking her thumb! I thought it was amazing and so did Ethan but when the nurse and doctor commented and started laughing out loud and making a huge deal out of it I almost started to cry! The doctor told us she had never caught a baby sucking their thumb in the womb. (I will attach some of the pictures so you can see) Ethan and I were also amazed at how detailed the 3D sonogram was and how beautiful our daughter is turning out to be. Do you agree?

28 Week Sono

It is confirmed we are having a GIRL! We had our 28 week 3d sonogram and we are definitely having a girl, and it is a good thing, because I have already purchased some of the cutest little pink things!! We purchased our stroller/car seat and put it together! That is however the only large purchase we have made. We are still looking at furniture and bedding but we can not seem to make up our minds on what we want.





I have attached some pictures so yall can see how fabulous I am looking these days! LOL and a picture of Ethan putting the stroller together!
