As I approach my due date (3 more days until Oct 31!), I thought it would be appropriate to look back over the the course of my pregnancy to remember how it has measured up.
Health Things
- Glucose test: 103 --> I'm not really sure what it means, but I've just been telling people that I got a hundred on my glucose test. Basically, I don't have gestational diabetes.
- Hematocrit 12 and 36 --> I don't really understand this one either, but my doctor said "looks like you're eating well" after she told me these numbers.
Baby Sizing
- 7 week ultrasound: CRL = 1.43cm or 0.56 inches
- 12 week ultrasound: CRL = 6.4cm or 2.51 inches
- 12 week ultrasound: CRL = 6.4cm or 2.51 inches
- 19 week ultrasound: 11 oz

SLZ Sizing
- I was sloppy about keeping track of my weight gain over time. Somehow, it hadn't occurred to me to keep track of this stuff on my own and now it's in two different places and I have some missing data. Sloppy. Anyway, I've gained ~40 lbs! They recommend you gain 25-35, so I've exceeded the recommended range of weight gain for people with normal BMI.
Here is how I've grown (through pictures) instead of the happy little graph I was planning.
