Yes, Indeed: Lena update. 26w-32w

Things have certainly progressed and grown (my belly) these last 7 weeks. We are pretty ready for Miss Lena although we would love for her to give us another 5 or so weeks.

Our friends and family spoiled her rotten and her little space is all ready for her arrival (see last post). It's quickly becoming one of my favorite spaces to daydream.

On the pregnancy front things have been an uphill battle. I have gestational diabetes this go round but, the diet has kept me on track and at my apt last Wednesday I am holding steady at 17lbs gained so far this pregnancy. Much better than with Jackson. So the diet changes and being more conscious of what I am doing has paid off. My fluid has stayed pretty steady and high at 31cm each week. Although, last week my fluid levels measured in at 20cm! This well in the normal range and we are praying with getting the GD under control my body is starting to let her regulate the fluids better. *Saying prayers they are the same this wed at her scan. I am still going to the OB weekly for my P17 shots. 3 more left! I am so ready to be done with these bad boys! OUCH. Weekly visits to the perinatoligist also happen and we watch Lena's breathing and have growth scans done. Last week she was measuring right at 4lbs 7oz. I know these numbers are often off and only estimates but, it's always fun to see her. Other than that I feel great. Granted a bit over it some days. So here we are several weeks out from meeting our girl. Typically, you go into labor 7-10 days after your last shot, that would put me at Feb 10ish? Daddy thinks they will share a birthday Feb 15th and I just want her here and healthy anywhere in that time frame. So we shall see!
