Week 31 was a busy one!

31 WEEKS ALREADY!!

Wow where to beginning! We had a small mishap Thursday at the doctor’s office (this will be the ultra shortened version of the story). My test results for the sugar test came back and I have gestational diabetes. The good part is we later learned (after the panic and tears all day) that my numbers are very borderline, THANK GOODNESS! Since then I've cut out ALL sweets, I read every label to check sugar content, no juice, minimal fruit, and watching carb intake. I did have a mini cupcake at my b-day dinner Saturday night... and then another mini cupcake at my work shower Sunday. I have an appointment with the specialist on Tuesday to go over everything with me. I'm assuming he will do an ultrasound to check her size and make sure everything is ok. I should be able to control this with diet, not that I ate bad before but I just have to be more careful in the sugar department. There are worse things, it's only 9 more weeks :) I was happy about everything else said at my appointment Thursday. She looks good and heartbeat is strong. I have gained 14 pounds so far and I'm pretty happy with that. I'm hoping to gain another 10 before my due date!! Still exercising a little bit. 2x a week, 3 if I'm lucky! But taking Winston for long walks has become a fun thing to do, walking is just a lot easier than a whole workout lol. 

We went to the 2nd 4D ultrasound Friday and she was head down facing my back. Needless to say we saw her hinny, her kidneys, and the back of her head lol. The tech tried to get her to move for 25 minutes and had no luck, but she was able to tell that our little girl is not as hairy as the heartburn would lead us to believe. She said she doesn't seem to have much hair at all... so that's a myth. We tried, but I guess we will just have to wait till she gets here to see her :)

Nick and I have been stressing a little about our upcoming visitors. We are so very excited to have everyone in town but with the recent house hiccups we feel behind. There are definitely a few things we wanted to get done that just aren't going to happen in time lol. So busy for both of us right now. Nick has been doing a lot of traveling this month, and season has kept us very busy at work (which is great). We are excited for a fun filled weekend with family and friends, that's for sure!

We went to dinner Saturday night for my b-day! Nick put a little shindig together for me and we had a blast. My favorite pizza joint, some fam and friends, fun gifts, I was a happy camper. Even got to catch the NBA dunk contest!! 

Mom threw me a work baby shower today at Bru's Room, which was awesome!! I loved that we all got to hang out for a few hours, the weather was gorgeous and my girls spoiled me rotten!! They are amazing, I'm so lucky to have them in my life... really couldn't ask for more :) I came home and unloaded all their awesome gifts and found that Nat Tat already couldn't use an extra closet lol. 

I have no idea where we are going to put all her goodies, gadgets and gear!! Nick and I need to get some serious organizational skills with a quickness. Her nursery is starting to look cute though. We haven't hung anything on the walls yet, but stocking the closet full of baby stuff is very exciting.

Well no more ice cream, so a glass a milk and a zantac will do :) I will post again after my appointment this week. Thanks for reading!!
