Week 31 - Diabetes Diet Week 1

Well, we've survived almost 1 week of being diabetic and made it to week 31. My belly is still the same circumference and this week, thanks to the mostly salad diet, I have lost 1 pound. I'm sure the doctor will be happy to see the lower weight and the better blood sugar. My poor fingers are looking forward to the end of the pregnancy so they can get a break from the poking.

Now for Sparky's stats:

Height - 18.5 inches (approximately)
Weight = 3.5 pounds (for a normal baby, for sugar-fueled Super Sparky this may be much higher).
We will be getting ultrasounds periodically from here on out to see how big Sparky is so that she doesn't get too big to deliver naturally. Better estimates on her length and weight will be available after those visits. My next visit with my friends at the doctor's office is Wednesday morning.

No photos this week - maybe the camera man will be back next week.
