Glucose finger stick result- Great! I have to do finger sticks because I cannot stomach the syrupy drink stuff. No fears or worries for Gestational Diabetes.
Progress: Despite my continuing contractions, we're not pregressing yet- which is another good thing. Tate's head, however, cannot possibly get any lower. We're expecting him to come out looking like Dan Akroyd (Coneheads)
Measurement: I'm measuring a week or two small. Not terrible, but not great either.
Weigh-in: Despite having gained some of the weight I had lost in recent weeks, we went the wrong direction this time around. In the week since my previous visit, I managed to lose an additional 2lbs. Wonderful. Now I'm back to needing to gain 7lbs in the next 8 weeks to break even.
Ultrasound: Since I'm losing weight and measuring small, they did a progress check to make sure Tate is still getting bigger and growing accordingly. As it turns out, he's doing just fine. As Dr. J stated "He's just a cute little parasite sucking everything away from you." You'd have to know her and imagine hearing her say it.... It got a good chuckle out of Gabe and I. Also, the ultrasound revealed that Tot has hair. Spikey hair.
Other News: I've been complaining more than normal this week about my pregnancy discomfort. My back in particular has been killing me. I mentioned this to the WONDERFUL Dr. J. After doing some feeling around and checking...I somehow or another managed to pull a muscle in my back. How? No Clue. When? No Clue. What? There are apparently muscle relaxers I could take while pregnant, if I wanted to be knocked out and absolutely worthless.
So that's the long and short of it. Eight weeks until the due date. We expect him in 6 or so... Enjoy my 32 week belly photos....
