I have struggled with my weight throughout pregnancy, and have just recently been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Bummer!! Tomorrow I go to a class to learn how to monitor my blood sugars 4 times a day. I am not that surprised since I was having blood sugar problems before pregnancy too...
Here is me at 30 weeks. I basically still look the same...belly is just a little higher!
We also learned that our son (we are having a boy!!) will have a cleft lip and possibly a cleft palate. I am glad that I am a little familiar with a cleft since my husband has one. It has still been a learning experience. I feel very fortunate that Kaiser has a special cleft lip/palate team! We have already met with our pediatrician, and discussed the first surgery and what we can expect throughout this childhood. I am nervous to meet him, but I can't wait to see him!
I am not sure where this blog is going to take me. I want to share information about cleft lip and palate with other parents who might have recently been diagnosed, as well as continue to share what I learn about life and health.
