Week 29 is here and the big news this week is that I have gestational diabetes. All other reports from the doctor were good except for that...My blood pressure was good, I didn't gain any weight, the baby's heart beat was good and I am measuring right at 29 weeks. I was concerned that I had done something to make this happen but my doctor reassured me that there was nothing that I could have done to create gestational diabetes, she said some people are just unlucky! I always try to look on the bright side and in this case that includes: more ultrasounds and not delivering past my due date.
As of now, I have to do the "finger prick" four times a day and will also have to be very strict with my diet. Hopefully I can avoid insulin shots!
Our trip to NYC was great! We hung out with great friends, did a little shopping and ate at some of our favorite spots (Gramercy Tavern-LOVE IT). We stayed with Sandra, Gerard and Zach but were able to see Cara and Chris, Ayesha and Don and Casey! Thanks for a great time!!!

How's the poking going!!!! Love Mom
Ouch! Glad to hear your Dr. will be keeping a close eye on things (plus extra ultrasounds are always nice). Just a little over 10 weeks to go!
