Week 35 and counting down...

Technically it is week 34 and 3 days today and counting...baby is just growing and growing and soon it will be time for it to come meet the world. Found out during a routine check that my blood sugar level is a little too high for comfort and so I have now been put on a strict low sugar diet which means no soda, no juice, no cookies and goodies and not even juice or bananas. Added to that I'm told to cut down on white bread, rice, pasta and potatoes and up the intake of wholemeal products.

So I've been really good and have not consumed any white bread (unless you count the one burger I had) have gone wholemeal bread crazy (which explains the frequent business dealings with tubby my toilet friend and have resorted to eating Special K cereal for breakfast instead of toast. I've sadly said my goodbyes to bananas and and gone cold turkey on the juice (which I used to love with breakfast). Hai...never mind...only about 5 more weeks to go before I can indulge. Husband is supposed to make things easier by going on the diet with me but he's not much support seeing how highly addicted he is to all things sweet (including me!)

When we were on holiday in Gothenburg at week 30 plus 2 days. That was also when I discovered my first stretchmarks.

At week 31 plus 6 days.

and now at week 34 and 3 days..plus a whole lot of stretchmarks.

I'm glad my waist has been spared a great deal of expansion so most of the growth has been outward and not all around.

Does that sound like a boy tummy or a girl tummy to you?
