All's good! BAby K (Kensley named her (she doesn't know it's a her) Carrot Heart, so that's what we call her now) is head down but sunny side up. OUch. That was a PAINFUL labor with Kensley, so I hope she chooses to turn around!
All my glucose numbers are spot on, and I eat cereal and milk, pancakes, Chinese food, Mexican food... I just work out a little and eat more protein with it. NO worries there.
All else is good! Had an u/s. BAby's at 5# 5oz (approx) and in the 75%, which is good. All parts look wonderful and functioning. Didn't get any good photos, though, because she likes to snuggle in to the placenta, so I never get to see her face! Stinker.
EDD is May 11, but my OB is out of town that morning on for about a week, so at the LATEST, baby will be born on the 10th. In 14 years, I've NEVER seen any other OB/Gyn docs, and she's been the only one to deliver K & K, so I'm very comfortable setting a 1-day-before-due-date induction if she doesn't come earlier on her own.
Here are some belly pics taken on Sunday for you (excuse the homely facial expression and lack of make up. I'm lazy):

Awesome! Sounds like shes doing well in the belly!! yay for almost full term!!! Not too much longer and we can all meet her! Love the belly shots and you look awesome, mama!!
You look GREAT for 34 weeks! I know you've been concerned in the past about your weight, especially during pregancy-how are you feeling this time around? I am looking at your pics and I WISH my butt could be as small as yours!!!
You look so great, Gwynne!! I love that Kensley doesn't know that it's a girl yet, she's going to be so excited!!!! I'm glad your numbers look great without the pains of having to deny yourself all the goodies you want especially when pregnant! May will be here before you know it! Can't wait to see her.
How is it even possible that you are 34 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!! SO exciting!!!
I can't wait to meet baby Carrot Heart (adorable!)!!!
You look AMAZING! Seriously, you are ALL belly, no lie!
Oh Gwynnie! my heart is so happy for you!

ba ha ha ha ha ha Yeah... my butt is HUGE, it's just spread over 2 states instead of the J-lo bubble thing.
Thank you, Kelli You make my heart super happy! (Kensley watches too much TV... thank you Ni Hao Kailan for that phrase)
As for the weight Yuck. I work out much more, I eat better than I ever did with either of my other pregnancies... and yet, I'm on target for another 40 pound gain. Sigh. My goal was 30. Crossed that bridge already. Blech.
I just hope I can lose it all, plus another 30 or so by the following summer and call it good!
Other updates: the nursery's a wreck (trying to organize while keeping Kellen in there for now) Kensley's room is getting crowded (moving furniture in there for Kell Bell) The lower level is a mess (toys have been shifted downstairs, but we don't have cubbies for them all yet) and I'm beat. Starting to swell. I could sleep 12 hours a night EASY and still get in a 2 hour nap if the world would stop spinning and allow that!
