Baby Ultrasound

So I had another ultrasound yesterday to check the baby's weight.  She weighed 5 lbs 2 oz.... or 1 lb off either way. By the looks of me I am sure she's riding on the 6 lbs side! UGH... This all means if she gains the average weight of a normal baby 1 lb a week and I go to my due date I will have a freaking 12 lb baby... but don't forget that I have GD and the surge in weight towards the end!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
OH and by the way, the only good picture we got yesterday was of her vagina!!!!! At least I know she's a girl!

I have neglected the blog but finally have a couple minutes to update!!!  I had yet another ultrasound (this makes for one each week for the last 3 wks!)  The baby girl is growing, they didn't do actual growth scan to see her weight... they are checking to make sure my fluid is at the right level.  I guess with gestational diabetes it can be too low or too high.  
I haven't been able to manage the diabetes by diet so I have been put on meds... I guess I really can't control diabetes my hormones are what regulates it.  That's frustrating! 
I have NST twice a week until she's born and then in two weeks I will have another ultrasound that will measure her weight!  
We are still hoping for a VBAC and the doctor is doing his best to be pro-active too!
Hope you enjoy the pictures!  It's amazing the difference between the normal ultrasound and the 4-d ones!

Okay she's getting CHUNKY!
