32 week appointment and CCDHC Shower

I had my 32 week appointment this morning.  I am measuring at 33 weeks.  My doctor is a little concerned about some of my blood sugar levels, so I will go back again next week for another follow up.  If my blood sugars aren't better, then I think she is going to put me on an oral diabetic med.  I will also start having the fetal stress tests next week when I go back.  This is where they put the fetal monitor around me and watch his heartbeat over a period of time.  They do this with women who have gestational diabetes (GD) so they can make sure the baby is doing okay since there can be issues with the placenta.  I will have another ultrasound at 36 weeks to determine his size since larger babies are also more common in women who have GD. After my appointment, the GI office I work at 3 days a week gave me a baby shower.  It was so nice!  One of our pharm reps catered PF Chang's and everyone was so generous. My mom was able to make it to this shower as well.  I came home after the shower and washed all the linens, clothes, etc. that we received.  I was able to put things away in his closet/dresser/room.  I am getting really excited about his nearing arrival as I get the nursery more and more together!!
