Rescheduled appointment =(

I was hoping to have an update after our sonogram on Thursday, but we didn't have a sonogram on Thursday. They called a few minutes before we were going to walk out the door and CANCELED on us! Let's just say I was "slightlly" irritated since I had taken the day off and Shaun had skipped a trip to the Oklahoma auction that could have been a profitable trip. We rescheduled for next Friday (the 2nd) since I have the day off. Shaun is having his wisdom teeth out the day before, so I hope he's up to another trip to Wichita. Evidently they are not that concerned, although my doctor said she wants to know why the baby is measuring big. So we could find out that the baby is due in 3 weeks or in 7 weeks. This delay doesn't help in my planning for school... do I need to think about sub plans or keep winging it from day to day????

3 hour glucose- YUCK!

Because the baby was measuring big the last time we were at the doctor, she ordered a sonogram, which showed the baby measuring 4 weeks ahead of schedule. Next step was a 3 hour glucose test, which I did yesterday. After drinking 100 grams of orange-flavored sugar water, I had my blood drawn 3 different times (+ the one before drinking the solution). My results came back "normal" with numbers of 137, 115 and 88. So I haven't talked to the doctor yet, but this tells me that the baby isn't measuring big due to gestational diabetes.... hmmmm. Could she really come 4 weeks sooner than we thought?

We have a sonogram scheduled for Thursday this week in Wichita. They are supposed to see what they think of this baby and we should find something out that afternoon. Of course they couldn't do it over spring break!

We went to Shipshewana last Friday and came home Wednesday. It was a good, relaxing trip. That will be our last trip up there without a little tag-a-long. I have a feeling our trips will take a little longer once she arrives!

Here's one of my projects from the week.... pics for the baby's room.

It's back to school on Monday... only 39.5 days of school left!

30 or 34 weeks?!?

Could the baby really come a month earlier than expected????? YIKES! I've measured big (4-5 cm larger than my week count) the last couple of doctor visits. The Doc ordered a sonogram to see why. I was borderline (technically flunked) on the glucose test. Numbers are supposed to be under 140 and mine was exactly 140. This could be one reason why I'm measuring big, as gestational diabetes babies are normally bigger. Other reasons could be too much amniotic fluid, more than one baby, or due date being off.

So today we had a sonogram. They ruled out the possibility of 2 babies (thank goodness!) and the tech didn't really say anything about too much amniotic fluid. All of the babies measurements (head, belly, and femur) measured 34 weeks and some number of days. It showed the due date as April 18 and the baby weighing just over 5 pounds.

Still not sure what to think because our sonogram at 6-7 weeks gave us the due date of May 17 and our BabyWaves sonogram was just a couple of days before that and the earlier sonograms are usually the most accurate. I'm supposed to talk to the doctor tomorrow to see what she thinks.

One thing we do know for sure.... she's a GIRL! She was very uncooperative for the sonogram tech as she was trying to get a good pic of her face. We were finally able to make out somewhat of a face but didn't really get any clear pictures. Hope this doesn't mean she is going to be camera shy, because her mommy loves to take pictures!
