Had OB appointment yesterday and Dr. told me Im doing okay but im gainin to much weight. So I need to slow down!!!
I thought my fatigue could be due to possible signs of anemia. no such luck! j/k The Dr. reassured me Im only pregnant and it normal. Oh thanks Doc. Boy wasnt sure whether Iwas pregnant or not.
Have to increase the amt of protein I eat in morning. So right now im consuming peanut butter on celery. Had left over lasagna casserole from the other night. Drank my no calorie/no sugar juice this morning and maybe Ill have a whey protein shake a little later. I have to get back to pre-preggars diet. Also because I have (in 4 weeks) a glucose test (the one hr one) to see how well my body can tolerate the 50grams of carbs in a period of one hour. Now because I have been on this roller coaster for awhile Im well aware of what to expect and what my body SHOULD be doing. When your not pregnant the numbers for a normal pregnant person after one hr of drinking the glucola should be below 140 mg/dL. But if your prediabetic like me needs to below 130mg/dL. Ugh! With all the bady eating ive been doing and the lack (serious lack) of exercise Im sure my pancreas has been shot and will not bring me below 130mg/dL. I can only pray, jump start my running again and get back on a serious carb restricted diet again for the next 4 weeks - until my Sept 21st appointment. If my blood sugar goes back below 130 after theone hour im in the clear and the will not pronounce me with gestational diabetes. BUT! if my sugar does stay above that number I will then have to perform the 3 hr glucoes tolerance test. thats where the Docs increase my sugar (dextrose) intact and after one hr, two hrs, and three hours the take my blood sugar count. Now back in the fall of 2008 I had these tests performed and I was in the clear. So pray for me that all is well. Especially for the baby because If I have gest. diabtes then I will have to take insulin shots. yuk! and triple scary!
Got a picture of the baby and I cant see very well but dom and the Dr were able to point everything out to me. Showed Rhyan and she wasnt too pleased. she too said it was difficult to see a baby in that black and white mess. haa haa!
Baby moves like crazy and at night rhyan still crawls back it bed with us. I have a friend whom let me borrow a pregnancy pillow (LeachCo. snoogle pillow). Its fabulous... since ive been using it my back pain has subsided and im sleeping so much better at night. It definitely keeps you in place and doesnt allow you to move onto your belly in the middle of a dead sleep. That was my problem and I wouldnt notice until I was awaken by excrutiating back and belly pain. So love the pillow and im so glad its in my bed.
back to the baby moving. This kid moves soooo much (much more that rhyan EVER did) it wakes me up at night and keeps my up for almost an hr at a time. During the day the kid moves or should I say kicks so much all day long it feels not soo comfy! but i should nt complain... im just happy im pregnant the babies healthy and moving!!! right? right!
So i will post a pict of the ultrasound later in the week. FYI: we are not finding out what sex the baby is. Its more fun when you dont. I cant buy anything til after the babies born anyway so whats the point really. its a culture thing.
