 30 wk’s. 6 days Pregnant: Living With GD, Is Not The Life 4 Me!
                                             

 Mood:  Okay

 

 

Welp it’s 30 wk’s and 6 days already.   Tomorrow, I’ll be 31 weeks, and still shockingly, but happily, holding on to these babies. HOLY SMOKES….the past week (10 days actually), have been full of stress, and dietician appts, Dr appts, and worrying about what I eat, when I eat, writing it all down, and using a monitor, that is right, what I feared, pricking my finger, 6 x’s a day, which is not a fun task. (I have to hide this from my little one, which is not easy at all, she is always with me, and would cry hysterically if she saw the blood).

 

 

As far as the pricking, I won’t say you get used to it, but it becomes more bearable, it just has caused me immense stress and worry, as if I needed more of that, because watching the #’s is like watching  money in the stock market, just nerve wracking, especially since all of the tweaking of my diet, has helped a bit, but not even close to 100% yet.   Not as much as they would like to see, and then peeing on test strips each morning to check for something called key tones, makes you a bit unnerved as well, because when you have them, it isn’t good, and usually I do, so it’s hard.   I don’t know what else I can do.

 

 

  I see my ob tomorrow, then the endo. again on Wednesday. I feel like I am just constantly at the Dr office, and I hate it, soo not what I need to relax myself before these babies come, but what choice do I have?   my biggest thing right now is A)  Making sure I keep at it, and the numbers go down. I know stress hurts so I think taming that, helps the #’s as well as the food, maybe more so.   B)  Not needing to go on insulin, I can’t begin to imagine doing THAT on top of this. C)  Praying these bubs are both head down at our u/s tomorrow, so I can plan on a natural birth.  These are my 3 goals, and I pray to God I can accomplish them all.  I THINK baby B may have flipped back, because the hiccups were high and now are down low, and the other baby is real near to that except lower, feeling it right in…ummm, well my cukaracha, so to speak, lol, and as weird as it feels, it’s VERY low, and the other is on the lower side, so she must have moved, hopefully to the position of her sister. They are still nameless btw, we have yet to come to a settlement there. we pondered on Raquel, but idk, it’s wearing off of me anyway.

 

 

We really need to get ourselves moving here.   Not much longer to go, and not much done AT ALL.  I’m getting a bit freaked out over it.  Wish me some progress in the coming week, while I can still, stretch, walk, and bend over (for real:).   I’ll keep you posted on the Dr appt, and ultrasound front, as well as names, if I make any headway there.  I just hope this GD does not cause any problems for the babies nor for myself.  I can’t handle any more bad news.

 

 

as for me, I’m still working out a bit. Just a few exercises a few times per week, but it helps. It’s much harder now, but I’m holding my own. Getting hard to shave the legs now, for real sure, and I feel a TON of pressure down below, and I have gotten over the past week, on off, lil amounts (clumps), of stretchy stuff..aka mucus, what I believe may be parts of the mucus plug, which I read up on, and without blood involved or extra cramps, etc. there isn’t any reason to worry and it can regenerate itself, so I’m thinking positively there.

 

 

A few more weeks of baking is what the girls need, and I definitely need, that time for sure, but I don’t predict going past 35 weeks, just a gut feeling!  All of this pressure, sciatica, and continuing BH contractions, are annoying, but not as bad as I ever predicted by this point, I have a fairly high tolerance though, and YES…still stretch mark free (knock on wood), wonder if this will last?    wish me luck!
