Today is officially week 30 of the pregnancy! Right now our baby is almost about 11 inches and 3 pounds. A common side effect of gestational diabetes was a larger baby. Although I wasn't "diabetic" I am borderline and I wonder if this has an impact. Even at 20 weeks my belly ...

Late yesterday I found out the results of my gestational diabetes test: my levels were high but borderline; not enough to be doing insulin and follow a strict diet with a diabetes dietician! Whooo!

28 weeks! Finally, 7 months pregnant! I went for my monthly check up today and our baby boy's heartbeat sounds nice and healthy. My stomach is supposed to measure at 28 in. and it's at 27 so not too bad either. I did have to do the test today to check for gestational diabetes. Now before being pregn...
