Gestational Diabetes

Week 31-32
I had my monthly doctors appointment last week where I found out that apparently I do have gestational diabetes. I am really disappointed I have never eaten many sweets but now I am really craving chocolate. Plus french fries have been my favorite food for the past few months and now I have to really watch how many carbs I eat. I am also pretty aggravated that no one from my doctor's office called me to tell me that I have diabetes and its been about 3 weeks since my test. My Dr. had even faxed in a prescription for me to get a glucometer and supplies but I had no idea they were there until last week. Somebody is really slacking. I was too mad to even say anything to the Dr. about it I was afraid I couldn't say it in a nice way.....But since I have to go back again this week I will probably mention the fact that the nurse really should have called me or sent me something in the mail....oh and she had still not called me back from a month ago when I had a question about Liam's medicine. Its very aggravating, I know she is busy, I have also worked for a Dr. and I know things can pile up but you still have to keep your patients informed about their healthcare especially something that can effect their unborn child! Ok vent over.
My 1st 3 days of checking my blood sugar have been up and down, day 1- it was perfect, day 2- it was sky high, day 3-kind of low....ugh this is stressful and all I really want is a chocolate shake....I go back to the Doctor on Wed. if my blood sugar looks good from this week I will just have to watch what I eat, if he thinks it is a little too high I will have to take medication, if it is way to high insulin is in my future. I don't think I will have any issues though, probably can control it with my diet.
I am doing good, Raegan is still growing, and seems to be measuring just right. I feel like I am doubling in size everyday now :) I have pretty much outgrown all of my T shirts now. Thank God for my wonderful husband who forces me to go buy clothes that will fit even though I think it is a waste of money to buy something I can only wear for 2  more months. I am a lot more comfortable now though that my shirts fit :) (Thanks Josh). I am having horrible back pain, drinking water like a fish and taking 2 Tylenol before bed is helping me to get some sleep. It is not too bad on the weekends since Josh is able to help with Liam and I don't have to do as much lifting or bending. I am so glad there are a lot of 4 day weekends between now and my due date.
Our childbirth classes are going good only 2 more to go. I am so glad we took them, I feel so relieved now that I actually know what is going to happen or supposed to happen. It really doesn't seem that bad after all....or so I think now. Josh is going to be a great support person, we are going to work on a way of communicating with everyone during the delivery that keeps him off the phone as much as possible, you may just have to wait until after she is here to get any updates because I am pretty sure I will kill him if he is on his phone the whole time :).
Liam is doing awesome, he is so much fun! I will have to write about him another day or this will turn into a book not a blog. Good news! We finally rented the condo in TN yay!!!10 months of 2 house payments has not been fun! Could have not come at a better time.
