I hate gestational diabetes.
It sucks. My fingers don’t like it much either, with all the sticking and bleeding they are doing.
I want milk. That is the one thing I have an insatiable craving for. Milk. I cannot have much, about 1 measured cup per day due to the anti-sugar diet I am on. I hate it. I NEED MILK!!
Anyway, the milk craving aside, I have been having some issues. I have seen my doc and he wants me to take it easy. He also requires that my visits to see him increase to 2 times per week for the duration. He wants to keep a closer watch on the baby.
I find this moderately disturbing in the fact that two weeks ago I was told I wuld see him ever two weeks…then one week ago I was told I would be seeing him once a week for the duration…now we have been bumped up to twice per week for the duration with ultrasounds every Thursday.
The good part is that I can rest assured that my doc is keeping tabs on my baby’s health and development…it is the “why” part that concerns me.
Anyway, I have really been worn out lately so haven’t said much on here. I have been so busy working, house shopping, preparing food that I am allowed to eat, eating every two hours, etc…
Now, I have to slow down a bit. We MUST find a house. I NEED to be settled (or partially settled) into my own space before the baby comes. I also need to have all my fuzzy kids in the same house before then. I think it would be better for all the fuzzy kids to adapt to having a baby in the house if they were all present before her arrival.
So much to do and so little time. No wonder I am too exhausted to keep up with blogging.

Hang in there… Your more than half way through! This is the icky part of pregnancy. I hope you find a house soon, so you can be with all the fuzzy kids, I think that will help!
I love you… and your doing great!!!

Ugh. I feel (felt) your pain. GD sucks big time. I ate lots of peanut butter and cottage cheese. I missed milk a lot too. But I always reminded myself that it was for Junior, because if it was just for my health I’d say screw it and pour a big glass!
