Elevated Sugar and Spice?

Just a quick update. I try to consider myself a fairly laidback person, but every week that my OB doctor measures my abdomen, she seems genuinely impressed, shocked, amazed, or whatever you want to call it. So when she seems shocked, I do get a slight sense of apprehension. Today my abdomen measured 43cm. She is wondering if I am a very late onset gestational diabetic, so she wanted to check a HgbA1c, and just a random glucose. Hopefully, I will get the results tomorrow. She says that by controlling my diet for at least the last week of the pregnancy, we won't affect the baby's size, but should stablize and prevent any glucose issues with the baby. Might I mention, that when Joe was born he was hypoglycemic. Hmmmm?
