There were a few things that caused my days to be a little more hectic. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes which meant testing my blood sugar 4 times a day and eventually giving myself nightly insulin injections.....not fun!
Because of the diabetes I had to have weekly ultrasounds and non-stress tests. The weekly ultrasounds made my fear of accidentayl finding out lil 'bit's gender. I'm sure I annoyed the ultrasound tech with my constant reminder not to reveal the sex but I never found out! We did find out though, that our little baby had enough hair already at 30 weeks to be seen on the ultrasound!
I also found out that my baby was in breech position. There was sine talk of possibly trying to turn the babe from the outside. It is a painful procedure and dangerous. The decision to not even try to turn the baby because her feet were in my cervix head in my ribs. If her feet had been next to her head, it may have been possible but the decision was made to for go the risk and just plan on a c-section. So it was scheduled for March 7th, 2011!
This is the only photo taken of the end of my pregnacy...37 weeks.
Also, towards the end of my pregnancy, it was very apparent that my baby was breach. This photo is shot straight down. You can see the babes head!!
