Appointments with my dietician and high risk dr.

On Tuesday I had my first appointment with my Dietician.  She said I was doing everything that I was suppose to, but gave me a chart to follow. She wants me to eat 4 servings of dairy, 10 ounces of meat, vegetables are unlimited, 3 servings of fruit, 9 servings of grains, 2 servings or less fat everyday.  I can have "extra/junk" food but has to be 150 calories or less. 

I started her recommendation yesterday, but there is no way I can eat all this food.  Just too much! I'm not sure what she was thinking.  At least I don't have to count carbohydrates.  That was beginning to become a pain.

Along with all my food that I have to eat, I have to write everything down in a food journal.  This will take dedication.  I see her again in 4 weeks...hopefully I will get a good report.

Today I met with my High Risk Doctor, Dr. Wright. They did a thorough measurement of Vivian and he said she is doing great.  She is measuring a day behind which he said was fine.  My official due day is June 29th which means I will have her a week earlier because of the gestational diabetes.  They won't let me go pass 39 weeks.  So, on Saturday I will be 30 weeks which means she will be here in 9 weeks.  So hard to believe! 

My amniotic fluids are low, 6.1.  I have to have an ultrasound every week to make sure they don't continue to decrease.  He told me to cut down on my activity, drink LOTS of water, and when I'm on the couch I need to lay on my side to help with the blood flow. If my fluids drop to below 5 then I will be on bedrest. 

I'm just so happy they are keeping a close watch on me.  I just want to do everything to keep this baby girl healthy.  That is all any parent-to-be can ask for.  I can't wait to see her!
