32 Weeks, 2 days

I had my 4 week ultrasound along with my CTG every 2 weeks/twice a week, which is mandatory with my group of doctors if you have Gestational Diabetes. i also got my TDaP shot which is already starting to tighten up my muscle big time lol. In the ultrasound she told me Lily was about 4.5 lbs (49 percentile) which is exactly where she is supposed to be. She is also in the head down position already, which of course can change over and over again between now and labor. I guess like her father, Lily is just an overachiever lol. During my CTG (which measures Lily's heartbeat and my contractions for 20ish minutes), Lily was of course a wild woman. Her heart beat was between 145-160 depending on how much she was moving. She even made the machine beep twice, which is what happens if her level goes over 160 lol. I was also having Braxton Hicks contractions quite often, about 7 on average every 10 minutes. Good thing they are mild and not true contractions, or those numbers would mean I was in labor!
I have been keeping my blood sugar normal. I had two bad days after dinner, but my body seems to be regulating my sugar better on it's own. I had caffeine and carbs over my suggested limit on Saturday and my blood sugar was still normal when I took it. Yay! Today the doctor told me that with my numbers so far, regularly low blood pressure, and very low weight gain Lily should be completely healthy and my gestational diabetes should completely go away. She did say that I was 60% more likely to have gestational diabetes with my other pregnancies in the future though :(
Lily's room is complete and we have everything we believe we NEED before her birth. Nothing that we can't pick up after she is here if we decide it was needed after all. We have completed registration at Jupiter Medical center for the birth, completed cord blood registration to save Lily's stem cells, and completed our Baptismal registration and class. The plan is to have the Baptism on May 11 when JFs family is here visiting (TBD). Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years!
Here is a pic of Lily from today. The tech said she is puckering her lips :)
