So I haven't written in a while. The baby has grown as you can see. I have been really watching my diet and making sure I get all of the food group servings in as well as my water intake. I allow myself a little sugar a day so I don't go crazy. I crave much more sugar than I allow myself. The nurse at the doctor's office said that the sugar goes straight to the baby and that is what makes a baby really big when they are born. The interesting thing is that the fat I eat just goes straight to me and makes me fat so whatever sugar I eat will make the baby fat. Anyway so I'm trying really hard not to eat more than a little a day. I had a gestational diabetes test last Saturday and I passed, but barely. I will probably start really working out in January when I actually have time to and I'm really excited to. This will help my body function better, and probably help me to do better during the labor and delivery that is soon approaching. According to the internet Grant is about 3.5 pounds and 18 inches long. I can tell that my womb is getting too small for him because when he moves I see it and also every time he moves I feel him on my whole belly and not just one little spot. I only have about 8.5 weeks left which makes me just starting my 8th month. I had my baby shower last saturday as well. It was a lot of fun and got some good stuff. We more so just enjoyed good laughs and fun games. The games are my favorite! I once heard that you only have a shower for your first baby. Is this true? Because I don't like it. I want one for all of my babies! If nobody plans them for me I will do it myself just like my bridal shower. I think that is all for updates. If anyone has an questions that are specific let me know. Toodles!
