This picture is evidence that my belly has EXPLODED!!!! I feel like I can't get any bigger! Today was my 31 week appointment, but I'm already measuring FULL TERM...*GASP*. Since I have gestational diabetes, Dr. Greve doesn't recommend I go much past 38 weeks. Madden will for sure be here by 8/21! I don't think that I will last that long. I'm predicting I'll just make it full-term....so 8/7! I will have a sonogram in a few days to see how much he weighs. My doctor is predicting that he will be an 8-8 1/2 pounder! If he's bigger than that, I will have to have a C-section; which I'm really not looking forward to. I do have to start having 3 appointments each week: a weekly check-up, a sonogram, and a consultation with the dietitian. Not exactly how I planned to spend my summer...but I am excited about getting to see Madden every week! Overall, I was happy with my appointment today. Dr. Greve said my sugar levels couldn't be any better and my total weight gain is below 5 pounds; which is probably hard to believe when you look at how huge I am in this picture! I almost forgot to mention my favorite part of going to the doctor: Madden's little heart was beating at 150 today! Let the countdown begin.....I'm now officially due in August!
The Playroom is Coming Along!!!!!! Mike has done a fabulous job!
Here's a few more updates that Mike has done to the nursery....Madden has the best daddy!
Wow....I'm so excited that Madden will be here earlier. Glad you are doing well. Love Mike's work and especially like the "No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" sign. lol Love ya! Judy

ASHLEY!!! That is so exciting! I knew you would do great with all the dr has thrown at you, and of course YOU ARE!
ReplyDeleteYour belly looks adorable...as do the playroom and nursery --- I love the colors you (or, Mike, lol) picked...and I know all too well about your summer changing to become nothing but doctor appts because that was exactly what happened to us! The dr's just want to keep that lil boy healthy though so its a good thing :) Thanks for letting me know what was going on and I want to come hang out this week!
The rooms look amazing, looove the playroom. And see, you definitely need to buy cars, because Madden's daddy already has him a TRACK! :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks Amazing! What a Great husband you have. It won't be long now, and madden will be here.
