Countdown begins

So we are now just counting down the days until we meet our precious son. Nothing has really changed in my condition. They may have to start lowering my insulin because the sugar levels have been relatively low today and I haven't felt very well. Last night I think my sugar dropped quite a bit after my mom and dad had left for the night. Phillip went and got the nurse and she told me to eat a snack. I did but still didn't feel very well. This morning the fasting level and the level and hour after breakfast were only 1 point apart. The level after lunch was better but still lower than it has been. I guess we will just wait and see how tomorrows numbers are and I will keep the nurses updated on how I am feeling. They did begin another 24 hour urine today to check the protein levels. That test will be finished in the morning around 8:30 so we won't know the results until tomorrow evening when the doctor comes in. They will also do another toxemia panel in the morning when they take my blood for the other test. All the nurses are telling me that it looks like the little man has really grown the past couple of days. I can tell too as my belly just keeps getting bigger. I did gain 7 pounds from yesterday to today but I am not sure how much of that is baby and how much is fluid that I am retaining. I know the doctors will keep a close eye on that because rapid weight gain can mean the toxemia is worsening. Well, that is about all for today. I will update you guys tomorrow. Keep us in your prayers.
