Another good visit with the doctor. This baby has Kim’s nose and Kim’s lips. That’s about all we can tell visually right now. Everything on the baby looks healthy. The baby is practicing it’s breathing, which apparently is a good sign. We could see the “breathing” on the ultrasound. Apparently, that means the baby is not stressed and maturing nicely.
One thing that did surprise me were the results of the glucose tolerance test. Apparently, normal range is 145 or below. My number was 150. He said that wasn’t really bad, but I should cut down on my carbs and sugars. Huh! I wonder what changed from when I was pregnant with Alli! But, I guess I will be watching my diet a little closer for the carbs and sugars. He said it’s nothing bad, just that since the sugar stays in my system longer, the baby is getting some of it, and that can make for a bigger baby (not really what I’m looking for.) I’m wondering if that also explains the fact that I’ve gained 16 lbs already, and I only gained a total of 18 lbs with Alli. But, mom and baby are healthy, so I am just thankful for that.
One more thing - if I had to guess, this baby has Kim's personality. Here's an example: When Alli was in my belly, at night, I would lay on my left side but if I ever changed to my right side, Alli would kick relentlessly until I finally went back to my left side. This baby, when I switch sides, will kick for a few times and then just "oh, whatever" and settle back down. Totally laid back - and that's Kim!!!
