Sweet Baby Boy

We had our appointment with Dr. Piquard today-and everything went just great. She took a copy of all of my sugar levels for the past week-and said that she was really happy about them. She said that they are so low-that eventually I will only need to take my blood once a day. Sweet! But with gestational diabetes she likes to see her patients once a week--for the time being. So we scheduled 3 more visits for the rest of the month--but there is a major BONUS to all of this--we get sonograms almost every week! Yahoo! So she told Rob and I if we had time today-then we could go and get an ultrasound today-so of course we jumped on it! And for all of you baby Grayson picture lovers--here are a few from today.

The first one his head is facing us-and the sonogram lady said 'Look at his pudgy cheeks!'-wonder where those came from...The second picture is of his feet-they are smushed together--he's got the long Sullivan toes! And then the third one-I thought he was blowing bubbles-but apparently they aren't spit bubbles-it's the umbilical cord.
But the real kicker was-she said that I'm measuring about 31 weeks and 3 days-so that was quite a bit sooner than what we originally thought. On the pictures-the estimated due dates very from January 23-February 8. He's weighing in a little less than 4 pounds. Anyone want to take a guess as to when this little guy is coming?
After she took all of the measurements, etc. she was showing us all of his different parts-we saw his lungs working, his heart working, his kidneys and lots of other things. But then she looked at me and said we were done. I started to get really light headed, started sweating and thought that I was going to get sick. I had been laying flat on my back for about 20 minutes by this time and you aren't supposed to be on your back for long periods of time. Didn't feel all that great.

Other than that-nothing else going on. We go back to the nutritionist tomorrow for our follow-up appointment-she should be proud of me too. Then this weekend I have my first baby shower with the Summa side-I'm really excited about it! Pictures will be posted! Enjoy the rest of your week!
