20 Weeks

Banana

So now the baby is the length of a banana, which somehow seems smaller than a bell pepper. It is longer, though, I guess. Our appointment today was uneventful. My blood sugars are still a little erratic (high every morning with some lows in the afternoons). This is frustrating to them and to me. They recommended an insulin pump today. I have used one before (aboout 7 or 8 years ago). They are much improved, and I am not opposed. We just need to make sure our insurance will cover it. They are very expensive. Otherwise, things are good. Heartbeat is still great. Measurements are all normal. We both seem to be doing what we are supposed to be doing, namely growing. I will not be posting belly pictures, as I find them frightening. But for those of you, who will see me in the next few weeks, you will definitely notice a change. We go back to the doctor on August 31st for the repeat ultrasound and fetal echocardiogram, so more pictures to come.
