Case of the GD!!
Gestational diabetes be damned. by Mrs. FlingerWell I have a case of the GD, which is gestational diabetes, lucky me! It is a temporary form of diabetes that is brought on from any number of things, background, race, age, etc... It is when my body isn't producing enough insulin as it should. It usually disappears after the baby is born and when it is controlled, usually things are fine. The only bad thing is if it isn't controlled properly, the baby could be huge! I don't need insulin so far, they want to see if I can just control the sugars with a a diet. I've been told that there's nothing I did wrong to bring this on, but I still feel bad a little bit, like maybe I should have been healthier pre-pregnancy or something? But it's all good. I have to stab myself 4 times daily which is with this cool little electronic device. It would be a whole lot cooler stabbing someone else with it though! Then I have this fun lil diet plan I have to follow to keep my sugar levels at a certain spot. It isn't thattt bad, no liquor (duh!), no fried foods, no juice, no desserts... But all else is still cool to eat, however it has to be in tiny tiny portions. That is why I'm callin this diet the MC diet (Mariah Carey).
The biggest and hardest part of this diet is not really the foods, because I have to have 3 meals a day plus 3 snacks, which I usually don't eat that much. The hardest part will be taking the time out to look in this book to see what amount of food I can have of each and planning it out! How annoying this will be when we are in Atlanta for the 4th of July weekend! Poooooo!
Anyways, onto other business. We went to the Prenatal Imaging place this weekend for our 3d/4d ultrasound, and our little bugger moved from transverse lie in my tummy to breech (frank) with his legs folded up on his head and face like a lawn chair! How is that even comfy? She tried for like 10 minutes but couldn't get any good face shots or any shots for that matter. I was sooo sad, had been lookin forward to this appt forever!! So we have to go back on the 1st of July to see if he moved or moved his legs! Wah wah! And the funny thing is, I think he switched positions that morning, because I have been telling hubby all morning how I felt the strangest uncomfy movement from him, which I think was him turning. Now that he's lying like this, I don't feel his kicks like I was before, which sucks because I waited so long to feel movement and was really enjoying it along with Michael Wooden. Oh well, I do still feel him move, so I'm sure he is just fine, with his little already stubborn self!
Oh, and we finally went to church this last weekend, which felt good because we hadn't gone in awhile. We are going again this weekend too. God rules!
