Baby Update

After my brother posted a pic of my baby on the blog he shares with his wife (http://jaalen-dunn.blogspot.com), I thought I should update my own blog with baby info.

We're 99% sure we're going to call her Ruby Christine Davis. At the last scheduled ultrasound, which was at 29 weeks 1 day, she weighed 2 lbs 15 oz. She's right on track size wise. Not too big, not too small.

I also recently found out I have gestational diabetes. I was a little concerned over the weekend. The dietician from the diabetes center at Piedmont Hospital seemed bothered by my 1 hour blood glucose levels. She insisted I set up an appointment with my perinatal doctor for his evaluation. The doctor informed me dieticians tend to overreact and that he is only concerned with my 2 hour numbers. I should be able to manange my blood sugars with diet, and if I cannot in the coming weeks, I may have to take a pill. I should escape insulin injections though, thank goodness.

While I was at the perinatal office to talk about the diabetes on Monday, I had a quick ultrasound just so the doctor could check on the baby to make sure everything still seemed on track. The technician also gave me a chance to see a 3-D image of little Ruby. I think she felt sorry for me because I was stressed out about the diabetes. It was a nice surprise -- I didn't know they had the technology at the perinatal office and didn't know I would have a chance to see a "real" photo of my little one before she was born.

I would like to introduce Ruby Christine Davis:


Pretty cute, eh?
