Fun at home

I finally bought Rowan some play-doh and he loved it, first we made snakes Then we made a bear/bunny not sure what it turned out to be but he was having fun!Last weekend it was finally nice out so we went out and played with bubbles, Rowan was having problems actually "blowing" the bubbles so instead he just ran with the bubble wand and it worked just as well.

Rowan falling, from running so fast with the bubbles.
Of course the nice weather can't ever last forever, and this weekend will be cold rainy and maybe even snowy!! Rowan and I are getting colds again so I'm sure we'll have a fun sick weekend stuck in the house again!! Next week it is supposed to be in the 70's so maybe spring will stick around eventually!! We are ready for it!!

We had another appointment this week, I am now 30 weeks! I saw the midwife and everything looks good. Baby is head down- which I pretty much knew since his head is pressing on my bladder constantly! My blood sugars have been really good and I think I am doing a lot better with the diet, no cheating! I guess I just won't get sugar till he's born. In 2 weeks we see the Dr. and will have another sonogram, we had a 32 week sono with Rowan and they estimated his weight at 4lbs. 9oz. so it'll be neat to see how this baby compares to Rowan.

Week 18

Well since we all had a 3 day weekend of course we ended up sick. My cold started Friday night and I felt awful Saturday and Sunday. Rowan started getting it Saturday night and had a fever all day Sunday, he hasn't had one today so I think he will be ok to go back to daycare in the morning.

The baby has been moving a lot in the evenings before I go to bed, it is so exciting!! Our sonogram is the 31st and hopefully we will get to find out the sex!! I really can't wait I want to start buying stuff and looking at names but want to wait till we know what we are having.

I have contacted some local Doula's and will hopefully be meeting with them soon. I am really considering a waterbirth they have them available at the hospital and I am really interested in it. I will look into it more and see if it'll work out for us.

My gestational diabetes hasn't been an issue. At the last appointment I saw the doctor instead of the midwife she actually said that my range for blood sugars after meals- 1 hour- should be under 140, before I had been told under 120. That put my mind at ease since the highest ones's I ever have are around 127, so I guess I've been ok. I still have to test 4x's a day but that is really not a big deal. I think the GD and the diet has really helped me keep my weight in check, I have gained about 5lbs, but it probably would have been more if I hadn't been following this diet.
