I know it's sad that it takes me 4 days to post an update from my last appointment. We've been rushing to get the nursery ready this weekend so I was up to my eyeballs in paint and what not. Rushing, not so much because it needs to be done for the baby - I do have 8 weeks left. . . rushing more so because it needs to be done for mommy. Partly because I am excited (isn't that normal?) but mostly because the pile of cardboard and styrofoam from the furniture covering the upstairs floor is driving me nuts. I can't stand to look at it another day! So tonight I will return home to a freshly painted room and will watch my husband put together the crib and load in the dresser so that I can clean up the mess that is stressing me out. I'll post some pictures of the room once we get it a little further along.
We received a great report on Friday. We did another ultrasound to check her growth. Everything looks wonderful. She weighs approximately 4.1 lbs. I am extremely happy to have a healthy baby however I must admit, when I do the math according to everything I've heard about how fast they grow in the last 8 weeks, I'm a little nervous that I'm going to have a huge baby on my hands! Wolstenholm babies are known to be on the big side so I'm not completely surprised. That coupled with the diabetes pretty much means I'm out of luck with the thought of having a tiny, little girl. On the other hand, I have heard that their growth can slow down a bit. But I feel weird praying for that.
Seriously though, as long as she's healthy I am happy. Although I just might be begging my doctor for a c-section in a couple of weeks. I guess we'll see.

Maybe you can be in the "10-pounder" club with me...but Lord, I hope not, for your sake! :)
I cannot wait to see your nursery!
