31 week appointment

Nothing terribly exciting from our 31 week appointment. Deb is in Eagle River and I met with Dr. Neal instead of Dr. Berger this time. We're rotating through the other Dr's for the next few appointments. Apparently there is no guarantee that we'll have Dr. B in the delivery room so it's good to at least see the other Dr's once. Dr. B is definitley our favorite so we've been telling the baby to focus on September 24th after 4:30pm so Dr. B will be on call. Hopefully it works! :-)
Dr. Neal mentioned today though that I was just under the radar for gestational diabetes, meaning I was one point away from testing positive and having to do a 2nd round drinking a sugary drink. She suggested watching my sweets and carbohydrate intake. Ouch. I'm not typically a sweet lover and being pregnant has definitely brough about cravings for chocolate cake and ice cream. I also eat tons of fruit daily so I suppose I should cut that back a bit. I've also gained just 2 lbs from our last appt. which put my weight gain at..........................drum roll please................29 lbs with 9 weeks to go. According to the Dr. this is not too shabby. It'll take quite a bit of running to get it off again but i'm really looking forward to running again and this of course gives me a reason to buy a new pair of running shoes and a jogging stroller! Wahoo!

Cheers,
