Someone reminded me today that I need to start blogging again so I'm back until my newborn takes me away again in a few days. I am 38 weeks pregnant, 32 pounds gained (more than I wanted but still great considering), and growing more and more anxious to meet my baby girl. My doctor says that my blood sugar readings look great, my blood pressure looks great, he's happy with my weight gain and my baby's growth. Because of my gestational diabetes diagnosis he is absolutely going to induce me a little early and says that's 100% the only reason he's doing it. If I didn't have this one complication then he would let me go until she came on her own or I went past my due date. My only job currently is to be strict about my diet so baby girl doesn't gain too much weight in the next 6 days.
Here's a peek at how I'm looking so far. The first picture is from my wedding in June of 2009 and the second from today (June 2011). In all fairness I didn't want to use a 2010 pic because I was pregnant last summer (almost through the first trimester at this point) and subsequently miscarried (sucked in the worst way but its okay I can talk about it fairly easily now) so it wouldn't be a fair comparison. Not to mention I just felt beautiful and thin on my wedding day and who doesn't love a good wedding picture? Oh and don't mention to my super private hubby that his pic is posted on my blog. I just thought it would look stupid if you couldn't see the whole pic and my photographer's wordmark really needs to be present.
You look amazing in both pictures. Who says, "whoa that'a a BIG belly?" Rude. And can I tell you how awful I felt when I said, "I didn't know you were pregnant AGAIN." It may not have registered for you, but I felt like a jerk. I will now be following you...all stalker like. ;)
