So it is official - I have gestational diabetes. It will make for an adjustment in what I eat and when I eat it - but it looks all manageable. It has been a bit of a scary ride and I would be lying if I said it hasn't been emotional and bit tough but we will get through it. The one thing that was exciting was that  we got to see the little bugger in an ultrasound and he is doing just find. 

He is currently a whopping 2 lbs, 9oz - therefore in the 60th percentile - so not too big (which is good news). All looks good

 with him and he was kicking up a storm while the ultrasound was going on. He clearly did not like being disturbed during naptime. 

They did the ultrasound a little differently this time - all of the ones they gave us are of the 3D variety - so they are a little hard to see, but once you adjust to how to look at these...it will be absolutely clear! 

So no more waiting...here he is: 

I LOVE this picture! A nice big smile (or so it seems), big eyes, and his cute little nose are relatively easy to spot! 

More looking happy and relaxed in there.

Bit of a profile shot - you can even spot a little ear! 

Another profile shot - and a definite ear. Right in front of his face are his two little feet and you can see his hand propping up his head. That is a big weight to carry. Notice the already chubby cheeks. I think that may come from my side :) 

Look at his LONG neck! 

That is all we have for now. We have another doctor's appointment this week where we get all of our pediatrician information and information about registering at the hospital. Then an appointment with the dietician next week to make sure my blood sugar levels are ok just with diet and exercise. And then soon we will have another ultrasound! I can't get enough of seeing him in there! 

Hope you enjoyed the pictures - less than 3 months now.
