Gestational Diabetes results

I just got back from the doctor’s office and I got the results. I did fail the test. So now I have to wait to hear from a nutritionist (or specialist or whatever) to call me for an appointment to discuss my diet and how we are going to deal with this.  If anyone has [...]

32 Weeks — 8 Months!

I can hardly believe that I am this far along. I am so glad. I am feeling big and awkward, but I am loving my little baby. I can’t wait to hold her in my arms and love her. I am feeling more and more comfortable with the amount of readiness [...]

Friday Five

Not too much going on here today. I was up pretty early and I made pancakes for the family.
I am trying to get some more laundry done as well.
Princess is home from school today, but she is playing outside and I doubt, I will see her much today other than quick visits and out [...]

31 weeks pregnant.

I am feeling really really extraordinarily tired again. I am thinking my iron may be low again. I have been neglecting my iron pills with these new vitamins the doctor gave me, but I am thinking, I should start taking them again. I can’t explain how incredibly tired I feel. Just [...]

Feeling good

It is funny but although I have had a headache ever since my glucose test, I am feeling proud of myself.  I was feeling overwhelmed by the number of things that needed to be done in our house.  But I have taken to doing one little thing at a time in between the breaks I [...]

Home again and Princess funny

I made it through the test, now I just have to wait on the results. My veins cooperated and it didn’t go to badly. I am feeling a little nauseas from the whole thing now, but other than that, not too bad.
Princess was coloring a picture at the table the other day when she saw [...]

Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Things I am priviledged enough to get in the third trimester of this pg.

Backaches. I swear there are days, I walk like a crippled penguin, I sound a hundred and one when I get off the couch and I need a crane to turn over in bed.

Shortness of breath. I get winded walking up [...]

30 Weeks!

I am 30 weeks today. I am feeling pretty good all things considered. I have a nasty cold that won’t go away, I walk like a penguin and I am constantly running to the bathroom to go pee, but other than that, I am doing great. I love feeling my baby inside [...]

Glucose Results

I failed my 1hr glucose test. Now I have to go in for the 3 hr one. I am surprised I failed. I mean, I even fasted that morning because I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to. Ugh. I don’t want to have GD! I hope I pass the next 3 hr one. I don’t [...]

Yucky day

Well, I woke up sick today. Ugh, I have such a horrible cold. It really sucks too because I have so much stuff I want to do. I have narrowed it down the absolutely necessary, make supper and do laundry. The rest will have to wait. Even my stomach is [...]
