Isabelle is just 2 days short of 32 weeks gestational - and I'm just about 34 weeks pregnant. It's getting close, hahaha.
We got our 32 week ultrasound today!
Isabelle has the chubbiest cheeks ever! lol <3
The pictures weren't the clearest because she kept moving (the little stinker!). Literally, they'd get this perfect shot of her - smiling and everything and she'd 'get caught' and turn around. There were a few times where she had this like 'Why Hallo Thar' hand wave right next to her face and then quickly shifted. The technician was VERY patient, haha.
On another pregnancy note, Isabelle is doing great despite the Gestational Diabetes. She's just huge. The technician gave us a roundabout estimate of her weight being around 5.5lbs. YES, I'm supposed to have two full months left and she's around 5.5lbs. She's going to be a biiig baby.
I'm starting to run out of places to stab myself on my legs! One of the things that they don't tell you when you're having to stab yourself 4 times a day, is that it can be REALLY hard to make 'spots' for yourself when you're 8+ months pregnant. Your humongoloid belly is in the way and you can't really stab your lower abdomen at that point (because it's just weird stabbing your belly when everything's so taught and a baby is underneath there). You're stuck stabbing your legs...and your right leg at that (if you're right handed) because it's not like you're going to be able to reach your left leg comfortably with your right hand. It's like doing freaking contortionist aerobics if you try. You have to use your dominant hand, because you're supposed to press down (until it clicks) on the syringe to expel the insulin. My left hand just doesn't have enough mobility to do it, lmao.
It just looks like my thighs have taken a beating. It's super bruised on both my upper left and right sides. Luckily it's just for a few weeks longer (hopefully). She better be ready when I'm term, that's all I gotta say. LOL
I need to pack my hospital bag tonight. I was having some serious Braxton Hicks last night for about 20 minutes long at 5 min apart. It's just getting close, lol and we're getting reality checks left and right.
Hopefully I'll post some belly pictures tomorrow if I get a chance. :)
