Week 30

Last Friday we went to Memorial Herman Memorial City Hospital where we’ll be having the baby and preregistered in order to save time when we come back for the delivery.  While registering we found out that we’d be in the new tower of the hospital that opens this June.  Kelly also had to get her 2nd Rhogam injection.

Last time we went to the doctor they testing Kelly’s blood sugar.  The results came back and she may have a case of Gestational Diabetes.  This is like diabetes that you only get during your pregnancy and goes away after you have the baby.  They sent her to a diabetes specialist on Wednesday who did a couple of more tests.   They didn’t tell her that she was suppose to fast before the appointment so she goes back for more tests on Monday morning after fasting Sunday night.  She’ll have to drink that sugary drink again and wait around for three hours so they can get accurate test results.  They sent her home with a blood monitor to test her own blood a few times a day after she eats and record the blood sugar levels.

We’ve started going to the doctor every two weeks now.  We went this past Tuesday and they checked her weight, blood pressure, and the baby’s heartbeat.  Everything was normal and we go back in two weeks.
