36 weeks

just wanted to say no baby news yet, the ob is calling me tomorrow after having a meeting w/ the other drs to discuss delivering the baby sooner due to the problems w/ my diabetes. spoke w/ the dietician a few minutes ago told her what was going on, she is calling the ob to talk to them and said she’ll email me after she talks to the ob I saw today, hoping she helps them make the right decision.   baby looked good today on u/s estimated weight was 6 lbs 7 oz, (bo was 6 lbs 9 oz at birth) and this is just 36 weeks so thats good, his head was huge like Calebs was, measuring 2 weeks ahead sizewise, his head is that is.   I finally gained one pound, that made the dietician happy!    other than that we are  just in a waiting game with my drs all needing to make some major decisions.   chances of getting an amnio before delivery are good, which scares me but then so does all of this diabetes problems.  so I will update after I know more.    wont be on here for a while since we have plans tonight.    i’m pretty stressed today and have cried more than once, including once when sitting talking w/ my ob.   it’s just too much to deal with right now.  I dont know what I’d rather have, to know the baby could be here early with possible complications due to age or keep him in there and have him be born on time w/ complications from uncontrolled diabetes.  eitiher is scary to me right now.   so say a prayer we have some good news to share soon, I’ll be cleaning baby clothes and blankets tomorrow just in case!

    You are in my prayers Amy! I hope they decide what to do and it works out for best for that little guy. At 36 weeks he should be a pretty strong guy. So don’t be too nervous about an early delivery!
    Take care hun!
