36 Weeks...Mommy Update

I'm 36 weeks pregnant as of today, but the picture is at 35 weeks b/c it's the last one we've taken.  I'm still feeling pretty good.  Our little boy is definitely running out of room, though.  I get a little more uncomfortable everyday.  I've had a good but rocky last few months in the land of pregnancy.  I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes which was something neither one of us was expecting.  Everything had been going so well, and to our knowledge I didn't have any risk factors for gestational diabetes.  I have to admit that I was quite upset when I was first diagnosed, but I have come to accept it and live with it.  And I know that the diet I'm having to endure because of it will be well worth it to keep our baby boy healthy.  Now that I'm on a restricted diet and pretty much can't eat anything good I've kind of stopped gaining weight.  So now the doctor is concerned about that.  And the baby was measuring too small so we had to go in for another ultrasound.  That was a little scary to think something may be wrong with him, but we were excited to get to see him again.  It turned out that everything looked okay with him he's just little!  Imagine that, me having a small baby!  He's in the 28th percentile for size.  Even with a few bumps in the road this has been a good pregnancy, and it is amazing to see how God grows and develops babies!  We are so excited and can't wait to meet our baby boy!  And since I'm not so good at updating our blog the next post you see may be the announcement of his birth!
