Update - Nothing Exciting Which is Good

I haven't posted or updated on myself for awhile. I had another Peri appointment on Monday. Everything is going great so far, which is a good thing and I'll take it. I'm swelling, and spilling protein already, but not at levels that they are worried about yet. My blood pressure is remaining good. My blood sugars are above normal, but barely, so I am doing pretty good with regulating my GD with diet alone this time. Last pregnancy my bs levels were running way higher, and I had to take oral medication daily, so we are pleased by this. Baby is measuring big once again, and I already have Polyhydramnios again, but that's pretty par for the course with me. So far, nothing to really worry too much about. Ultrasound shows baby is perfect, no heart defects or any other abnormalities are noticeable (which is always a real worry since I am on several Schedule D medications). Cervix and everything is looking good, even though I have a good deal of cramping periodically, I haven't been having any serious contracting yet which is good. That all starts getting wonky around 30wks historically, so hopefully I have a few more good weeks left.

Baby is remaining breech, no surprise there either as all of my littles have hung out breech for most of my pregnancies (except for my contrary daughter who had to lay transverse and separated a couple ribs).

So, I go back in 3 wks for a basic check I'll be roughly 27wks, then another 3 wks putting me at 30, and then I'll go 2 wks or weekly depending on how things are going. Getting closer! I don't know if I'd know what to do if I actually went to term, but it would sure be nice! I would really like to bring a baby home with me when I get discharged after delivery! Praying for it!

Oh.... and baby is another little man. Go team blue! That makes 4 princes and one princess. We were REALLY hoping for a sister for Ella, but it wasn't to be. She'll just get another little brother to boss around.
