28 weeks......

A few new updates for you all......two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. It's not a real big deal but I do have to watch what I eat and check my blood sugar FOUR times a day. I'm starting to feel a bit like a pin cushion. Apparently the doctor would like for the blood sugar to number to stay under 140 and the day that I was tested mine was 202! They typically do a one hour test and if you fail it they make you come back for a three hour test. Since mine was over 200 they skipped the three hour test and sent me straight to a Diabetes Counselor. Since this happened two weeks ago I've been monitoring my blood sugar as directed and haven't had a high number yet. Was it a fluke? I have no idea. It sure seems that way though. I have had to cut out sweet tea (very hard for a southern girl) and watch my carb intake. So far so good! One benefit of this situation is that I will have to have atleast two more ultrasounds. One of those ultrasounds are scheduled for tomorrow so I'll be sure to update the blog with some new pictures.
We have a possible name.......Avery Lance. Boys names are so tough and typically so boring. This is the only name thus far that Lance and I feel we can live with happily. It's certainly not written in stone but with time running out it's the only one we're seriously considering. I've officially entered the third and final trimester and look forward to the joys (and sorrows) of the last three months of this pregnancy.
