Cinnamon for GD - 32 weeks!

His little foot.

Yesterday was my appointment day in the City:
9:30 - Ultrasound
10:20 - High risk OB
1:00 - Endocrinologist

The ultrasound went great, our little boy's head is down already and weighing a perfect amount of 3 lbs. 9 oz. (40th percentile). I'm on the other hand not gaining at all, the doctor is just happy I'm not loosing weight. So right now I'm still 120 lbs.

He got an 8/8 reading on the ultrasound and the amniotic fluid was perfect too (4.?).

My blood pressure is still in the low spectrum of normal.

I get to wait another 3 weeks before going back! I was not expecting this but it makes me very happy, the less trips the better!

My blood sugar levels have been great, a big thanks to CINNAMON! I take a cinnamon pill before I eat and it REALLY helps keep them in good ranges, meaning I can eat more and have more options.

I've also starting drinking baking soda water when I swallow pills, its a great way to remember to drink it, helps keep away heart burn and my body alkaline.

Last night I went to bed with a sore throat and all night it kept me up, the only thing that somewhat helped was apple cider vinegar sprayed on the back of my throat and sucking a fisherman's friends to stop from coughing and irritating my throat even more. So we I got up this morning I made sure to add some crushed garlic and honey to my pill routine, drink some ionic silver (going to gargle with it too), extra vitamin C, hot tea and rest. As of 6:32 my throat is feeling a lot better, hope it continues healing this fast and tonight is better! 

32 Weeks

3rd Trimester

I've made it to the 3rd trimester!!

27 Weeks 5 days

I'm shocked the doctors haven't made a bigger deal about my weight... Last appointment I pulled the old CF clinic trick, eat a big meal before & do not use the washroom until after the weigh in... Their scale said 125 lbs. I've only gotten as high as 121 lbs on both my home & parents scale. With my starting weight at 115 lbs I'm happy to be getting no complaints!

Lung function has not gone down, it actually has gone up! We'll see if I'm as lucky during these last few months of pregnancy. 

He is sitting really low and I'm very thankful for that. 

My sugar levels have been great and the endocrinologist has been very happy with my numbers.

My lungs have been bothering me a bit these last couple says with a dry cough. Anything I cough up is clear so that makes me happy! I've lowered my garlic intake to reduce the chance of bleeding issues during & after birth and I think that's why I got the cough. 

I've managed to schedule all my doctor appointments to one day every 3 weeks... It's quite a relief. Hoping it stays this way for at least another 2 months.
