35w4d

Only 12 more days until induction. One more doctor's appointment after today. Why does it still seem soooo far away?

Good news is baby boy is measuring 6.5lbs (65% percentile), which isn't bad for a mom with gestational diabetes. He still looks healthy and perfect on the ultrasound. And O MY the hair that is on his head is LONG. He is literally going to come out needing a haircut. I look at Nick and love all that luscious hair that he has and can't help but think this little boy will look just like his dad. It makes me smile.

I am 1cm dilated and my cervix is soft. Yay! My body is getting ready for labor. I wonder if the Labor Prep tea or the acupuncture can be thanked for moving things along? Either way, I will continue to do both.

My insulin is being increased again to 22 units AM and 26 units PM. I am so tired of finger pricks and watching what I eat. I have been getting daily headaches for the last week. This could be a symptom of pre-clampsia, so if I get another one, I am to go to the hospital for observation. Ugh.

I also need to do another 24 hour urine collection and bring to the hospital Saturday rather than waiting for Monday. I will be observed while waiting for the results. This will be the *3rd* time that I have done a collection. Last time my protein results was 275. 300 is the cutoff. I have a headache while I type this. I am just going to wait until Saturday morning because I will just have to stay in the hospital overnight and do the urine collection and I would rather be in my own home.

12 more days....
