5 Weeks
Orange Seed
We had our first visit with our new doctor today. They say the baby is the size of an orange seed! Because I have Type 1 Diabetes, we have to see a high-risk OB/Gyn. Our doctor's name is Perry Roussis, and he is fantastic! He's very direct, which I like, and very kind, which Paul likes. The baby and I have to be super aware of what we eat (in fact, I have to write down every morsel of food I put into my mouth for the dietician and diabetes nurse educator to review). I also have to watch my blood sugar levels very carefully. Already I am seeing more fluctuations than normal. They say it's due to the hormones (by the way, every symptom you ever have during pregnancy is blamed on the hormones). They collected 9 tubes of blood, and we had an ultrasound, too. The baby was too tiny to see anything, so they are going to do another one in 2 weeks. So far things are looking good, and everyone expects both of us to well (as long as we take care of each other). Good news is Paul is taking great care of both of us!
