33+ weeks!

Another week bites the dust buddy!  We rescheduled your appointment to be on Friday.  The appointment went fine.  We didn't get measurements so we have no idea how big you are but you filled up the entire screen.  We think they had you zoomed in or something because you looked huge.  Even outside the fact of the diabetes weight (cheeks/tummy), you are massive in your arms, legs and head.  Daddy was commenting that they are very muscular.  I agreed because I told him you were beating me up in there so I am sure you had developed quite the set of muscles  :)

I told the doctor that I was getting anxious over the sugars, ketones, contractions and pains.  He was not worried about it.  He said that the risk is that you will be hypoglycemic when you are born.  Elijah was 2 points under where they wanted him to be, he took a drink of formula and he was fine.  I hope that is the extent of the issues with you.  He said that you looked great.

This week hasn't been good to me.  I had 3 days in a row where I was in a ton of pain and started having contractions.  I had to lay down immediately because they stop then.  I have a huge pain in between my ribs.  Apparently, that is where you currently have your butt tucked in.  Your knees are in my ribs and your legs are under my ribs wrapped in my muscles.  Not a ton of fun for me.  I just try to shift you as much as possible. I also had to be put on antibiotics for an infection.  YAY ME!

Your daddy told me that these last few weeks were going to go by so quickly he can't believe it.  I gave him a dirty look.  The time is not going fast for me as you are getting bigger and I am getting bigger and we are all more uncomfortable.  He also complained about the pain of having a beer belly.  That did not earn him any points since it can't compare to a belly that is constantly being slammed by an alien  :)

Well buddy, not much else to share.  Bonehead says 39 weeks, I say 37.  We will see who wins.  We will see you every week until then.

Talk to you next week buddy.
