Spoke Too Soon Again....

Welp, I won't be accidentally running into my friend at the doc's office for sure now......seeing as she gave birth this morning! *yay!* I am so happy for her! I can't wait to see her wee one, I bet he's a little chubby fellow! Awwwww, I'm about to cry! Now that she's had her baby, it's really setting in that it's almost MY turn! (N.N) I am 2 weeks away from being considered full term & SO not ready! God help me not to panic PLEASE! (N.N)

Spoke Too Soon *Sigh*

Well, the "what do I do with myself" question was answered a couple of days ago.....turns out I have to have 2 NST's a week for the remainder of my pregnancy, due to the GD =( Sooooo, I started that this week *yay* (insert sarcasm and an eyeroll here) On a good note though, I am getting another U/S on the 10th, which I am very much looking forward to! Let's hope this princess has remained a princess & we have no penile surprises ;) And.....on a funny note, there is a lady in my ward who is due in couple of weeks, who uses the same doctor's office I do, and for the past 4 out of 5 appointments we have run into each other in the office *LOL* We have a laugh every time b/c it's not that we're setting our appointments for the same time on purpose, we've actually had no clue of one another's schedules, yet we keep running into each other! I think I am going to miss the excitement of "will I or won't I see her this time" once she gives birth, haha! Anyhoo, time for me to step away for my lovely scheduled din-din (another fine joy of having GD *boo*) TTFN!

I Think I'm Gonna Cry

Not only do we have the all-too-soon upcoming birth of Baby B, we have 2 more significant & amazing changes to our lives coming soon.....first comes next week.....the 1st day of MIDDLE school for Garrett.....we're all super excited about that, but I am very nervous as it's all VERY different from what we're used to with Elementary school 8-} THEN.....Gabe is starting PRE-K this year.....it's so hard to believe he is already old enough for school! :- I cried when Garrett started kindergarten.....now with him going to middle school, AND Gabe going to pre-k, AND the impending birth of Baby B.....I am positive there's going to be some waterworks!! Where has all the time gone & where are my wee ones?? I am sure once we get into the swing of things, it'll be great, I just can't believe they have gotten this age this quick! I am completely thrilled for them, just feeling a little overwhelmed with it all at the moment. It WILL be nice to have some time all to myself for a short bit before Baby B is born, but it'll also be kind of like a "what do I do with myself" emptiness, too.....a blessing & a curse all at once I guess ;) Maybe my nesting instincts will kick in & I can finally get this house in order.....yeah, highly doubtful, but a girl can dream *LOL*

I Am So Annoyed!!

So, the doc claims I have gestational diabetes b/c I failed my 1 hour GTT, and on my 3 hour GTT, the 1st hour was HORRIBLE (217!!).....although the 2nd hr (LOW 100-something, way less than the 130 cutoff) and the 3rd hr (67!!) were perfectly fine!! I went to the Diabetes Center yesterday to learn how to check my blood sugar & about the gest. diabetes diet. Guess what my blood levels have been so far.......75 an hour after lunch (which is low), 94 an hour after dinner (again normal low-ish), 96 upon waking (which is only 6 pts over goal), and 102 an hour after breakfast (again normal).......does this sound like gest diabetes to you?!?!? I haven't even eaten anything I wouldn't normally.....the frickin diet is not really anything different than I already eat/don't eat, the biggest diff is scheduling meals/snacks instead of eating whenever I felt like it. I REALLY hope I don't have to prick my finger 4 times a frickin day for the next 8-9 weeks! I honestly feel this is ridiculous =( I better not have to pay for any of this crap either! THAT will royally tick me off *grrrrr*

Can you tell I'm a hormonal mess? LOL
