T-Minus 2 Weeks (or less)

For those of you who don't know, Heidi has been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. When diagnosed early enough, most complications can be avoided and Heidi has done an amazing job of adjusting her diet to minimize them. The 2 major concerns at this point are 1)the baby grows too large or 2)the placenta fails. We visit the perinatologist every week now, where they do an ultrasound to measure the size of the baby and verify the flow of oxygen through the umbilical cord. As of yesterday, everything is going great. Traditionally, mothers with GD (that sounds dirty, like an STD) are induced at 39 weeks as a precaution. Soooo.....long story short- Heidi will be induced 2 weeks from today, which would be June 15th.

2 weeks and counting...
