Well, I went to the doctor yesterday morning and we have good news. Little Miss Tessa is going to be fat and sassy. She already weighs 5 pounds, 12 ounces! I have gained a total of 5 pounds, so I'm happy with that so far. All of her bones and organs look good. They tried to get a good 3D picture of her face but she kept turning away from us--the turkey. She's a busy girl in there, constantly moving around, covering her face with her hands. She is measuring about 34-36 weeks and I am 33 weeks. Being a diabetic, I think this is excellent. My doctor is a more glass half empty type person (he's a little pessimistic). But you see, I know where all this is going. I'm not sure he does....God is in control. I'm not too concerned with all of this because of that reason alone. It's been God's work from the beginning and He is in ultimate control. This is His roller coaster ride and I'm doing just that, enjoying my ride.
Ever since they gave me medicine for my asthma that worked, pregnancy has been down right enjoyable!!
I will start going to the OB doctor twice a week from now until delivery. I am still considered high risk and they want to keep an extra close eye on Emy and Luke's baby sister. So, I will do as I'm told. I will go every Monday and every Thursday, no matter how old it gets. Monday, they will check me. Thursday is Tessa's day :) They will ultrasound me every week to make sure she is doing okay. If she is stressed at all, they will probably induce me early. I don't foresee this happening. Everything looks great every time they check on us :)
So, I hope you all have an AWESOME week (as Emy would say) and work hard at school (as Luke would say) and keep checking back with me--we are gonna have a baby soon!! Emy & Luke are getting REALLY EXCITED about this!!
Love to all,
Cindy
