Well I took my 3 hour glucose test and PASSED....thank goodness! With Thanksgiving coming up and the entire yummy month of December, it would have been such a struggle to stick to a diabetic diet!
I also had my third trimester ultrasound this week. It was so cool to see my little man again! He sure is growing! From the 3D pictures we saw, I think he looks a lot like Andrew did as a baby! We'll see! I am measuring just a tiny bit ahead, he was 3 pounds 4 oz give or take a few oz. My due date will stay the same though since the most accurate ultrasound is the very first one for dates back when I was only 8 weeks along.
I'm so glad Bryan was at the appointment. He asked a million questions about the baby to the ultrasound tech.....which I am kind of chicken to do because frankly, I don't know if I really want to know! Just the thought of something being wrong, scares the crap out of me. He asked her to take a closer look at Evan's organs, mainly the adrenals, kidneys and liver. The tech was SO sweet and understanding of our situation. Our baby Nolan's cancer started in the adrenals and spread to the liver, causing his kidneys to fail. The tech called in the perinatalogist herself. The doctor finished the ultrasound by thoroughly scanning all of his organs. No masses, no abnormalities. What a relief. I'm so glad I know that he's totally healthy with no signs of cancer. The only thing she found was that my cervix is starting to efface! AHHH! This never happened with any of my other babies. It's not severe.....I think the cervix length is supposed to be around 3 cm at this point in the pregnancy, mine is 2.3. Good thing I'm not working! The perinatalogist said there is a 99% chance that I will go full term since none of my other babies were early. I just need to take it easy and follow up with my ob. 8-9 more weeks! Hoping to get this baby out at 38 weeks, just before Christmas!
