My lastest appointment

I had an ultrasound yesterday and here's the update! She weighs about 7lbs and is very low. According to my doctor, when she checked me she could feel Avery's little head! My doctor also said I am 1cm dilated and my cervix is "squishy". I don't think that's a technical term but means it's softening I think! She is now in the 70th percentile for weight so it's better than the 80th percentile she was in last month. I can chalk that up to eating better and my glucose levels being under control:-)

During the ultrasound you could see her little face, her cheeks are chubby and her lips are big and poofy! She's already cute:-) Even the tech made the comment that she had chubby cheeks.

I had my first non-stress test today. The stress tests consist of me sitting quietly for 20 minutes with two monitors on my belly, one checks for fetal movement and monitors her heart rate and the other monitors for contractions. Today, her movement and heart rate were perfect and I didn't have any contractions. I have to have one each week until I deliver. This is all a result of the diabetes.

Otherwise all is well. I'll post pictures from the ultrasound soon!
