28-week check up

So I just wanted to let eveyone know that I went in for my 28 week check up yesterday. I am now technically in my third trimester - thank goodness! So my blood glucose levels have been looking pretty good, but are still slightly elevated at times. I have been working on modifying my diet to limit my carbohydrate intake and regulate my sugar levels. The concern at this point is that the baby is going to get very large due to the extra sugar in my blood. At this point, I am measuring about three weeks ahead. The doctor says that the rapid growth should slow once my sugars stop being elevated. I will be having another ultrasound in one month to see big the baby is. The doctor does not want me to need a C-section due to my blood clotting risk factors. The interesting thing is that am still losing weight. I am six pounds lighter than when I started the pregnancy. D has been joking about being on the "pregnancy diet." The doctor does not seemed concerned since the baby is growing very well. I go in for the gestational diabetes follow up class tomorrow. We will be discussing my glucose levels and diet. I will keep you all updated as things progress!

Oh yeah, we have a tentative name picked out...but we're not telling yet!
