32

Another week down and I’m very thankful for that.  I’m getting to the point where I’m ready to be done, mostly because of the gestational diabetes.  Thinking about everything you put in your mouth gets tiring.  I think the most frustrating it doing what you've been told to do and still getting numbers that are too high.  My meal numbers are fine, it’s the fasting numbers that I can’t get under control.

I had a doctor’s appointment last week and met with a new doctor.  She seems to know what she’s talking about but she wasn’t very compassionate.  She told me that I have two weeks to get the fasting numbers under control or she’ll put me on medication.  Then she told me that if I am on medication she’ll induce me between 39-40 weeks and if I’m not on medicine I have to deliver before 41 weeks or she’ll induce.  I was not a happy camper.  She couldn’t understand why I was upset and had tears running down my face.  Then she told me that I could no longer go to my normal centering appointments because I am now a complicated OB patient and they need to see my every two weeks.  I kinda told her I was going to the next one and she said I could go to that one.  I also have an ultrasound this week and she didn’t think it was necessary but since it was already scheduled she’ll let me go to it. 

Needless to say I was not happy at the end of the appointment.  I’ll be talking to the midwife at my next centering appointment to see if she’ll let me continue to go.

Other than that things are going well.  I’m getting up several times at night and the bathroom and I are becoming good friends.  I got a wedge and it’s WONDERFUL.  I’m also pretty tired but I think that’s part of the territory.  I’m hoping the next few weeks fly by!
