Shamu has escaped from Sea World

Baby boy apparently isn't quite so little. In fact, I'm 30 weeks and he's already measuring 4 pounds! That means he could be a 9 pounder if he goes full-term to 40 weeks. I guess this is payback since I was a 9 pound baby. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I've had to go on a strict limited carb diet. Hopefully, this only lasts the duration of the pregnancy. I'm also hoping that since I've been able to control my sugar level with diet alone that baby will not be affected. Other than the GD, I've been feeling pretty good. I'm tired a lot and I'm starting to have aching pains in my hips, joints, etc. I guess this is all par for the course and a part of pregnancy. Robin has been working so hard on getting the nursery fixed up. He and my dad spent days priming the walls and painting. Once all the furniture gets here and we get everything set up, I will post pictures.
