Here's the best belly picture I have, taken at 25 weeks on Valentine's Day. I am 30 weeks and bit bigger now!
Back in January, we had an ultrasound and learned that we are having another girl. We are tickled pink, and look forward to meeting our second little princess at the end of May.
At the end of February I learned that I have gestational diabetes. I'm controlling it with diet. I have to check my blood sugar four times a day, which is not too fun.
On Tuesday I had an appointment with my OB. He is pleased with my blood sugar readings. I've lost about 9 pounds since the diagnosis, but that is okay since the baby is growing. She is a big girl, weighing over three pounds already. My OB says that if I go full-term, she will probably weigh 9 or 10 pounds. It isn't looking like I will go that long, however.
Please pray for my pregnancy...that I will continue to do well managing my blood sugar. Please pray that our baby girl will be healthy, able to come home from the hospital with us. Pray also that my condition will not turn into diabetes after the pregnancy.

I will continue to be praying about your pregnancy, sweet little baby girl, and especially now for the whole GD thing. I love you! Molly
You look great pregnant! Shelby is going to be a big help. I'm sorry you have the G.D. I'm sure that can be very frustrating and worrisome. Try to enjoy these last few weeks as much as possible, I know it's hard. I can't wait to see her!
