Type 1 Diabetes and Pregnancy: Final Weeks

I have finished up my final growth ultrasound. Baby is still showing up in the 50th percentile and I sure hope it's accurate (I've heard it's not!). I'm seeing my regular OBGYN for the weekly NST and checkups. In the next week if baby hasn't made his debut we will start discussing and scheduling an induction! My next update about diabetes and pregnancy will be post-baby! 

A few last pregnancy pictures (37 weeks)! We had time before we rushed off to a dinner date to snap these at a ranch by our house!! Finally a few non-gym clothes AND not taken on the iphone!

A sweet quote that my mom recently sent. Some good thoughts as I prepare for this new journey.(The more I read it the more I think this can be applied to any aspect of life, not just raising a child!)

If I had my child to raise over again,

I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less.

I'd do less correcting, and more connecting.

I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less, and know to care more.

I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.

I'd run through more fields, and gaze at more stars.

I'd do more hugging, and less tugging.

I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.

I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.

I'd teach less about the love of power,

And more about the power of love.

It matters not whether my child is big or small,

From this day forth, I'll cherish it all.
