Slightly bad news but mostly good news...

Okay I'm going to start out with the slightly bad news. I got my Glucose Tolerance Test results and they have diagnosed me with Gestational Diabetes. I'll post more on that tomorrow once I go to the specialist to learn about monitoring my blood sugar and adjusting my diet. Hopefully that is all I will have to do. It is not shocking as my dad as Type 2 diabetes and both of my mom's parents did as well. I have been around people who have to monitor that for most of my life.

ON to the GREAT NEWS:

We had our ultrasound today: Here are some of the pictures:

This is the baby's profile view with hand in the back.
Second is a picture of the baby's foot:

Finally a picture of the baby's face
(mostly still skeletal structure but you can see the eyes and the nose placement.):
So I bet you have already guessed by the color change of the website...but we did find out the gender of our baby...and we are having a BOY! Jeremy and I are both super excited to shop for Mr. baby Scherer. We were able to see his little heart beating, see him having hiccups and moving around in my belly, and even see some of his brain as they measured him to see if we are still on track with my due date (we are give or take two days either way). Baby Boy Scherer has both arms and legs and looks to be all the right number of fingers and toes.
