Gestational Diabetes and an update

I had a prenatal check up last Tuesday. Still measuring 3 weeks ahead. As of that appointment, no chance of early induction due to size, or planned c-section for the same reason. I gained 10 lbs in the 4 weeks since I'd been there. Not good. So I'm being sent for another ultrasound (#5) on December 18th to check on his estimated size.

I had my 1 hr glucose tolerance test that day, and failed miserably. Went back last Thursday for my 3 hr. Got a call on Friday, saying I'd failed that too. I have GD. I saw the endocrinologist for the first time yesterday. Tomorrow morning I go for diabetes education (testing my sugar levels, nutrition, etc). So far it's been really hard and frustrating to try and feed myself. I'm not used to having to time my meals. I have to keep them at least 2 hours apart, but no more than 4. I'm going to have to test my sugar levels 7 times a day, and if I can't control my sugar levels with diet, then I'm going to start insulin shots twice a day. The doctor I saw yesterday really wants to slow down his rate of growth. I was measuring 30.5 weeks yesterday. I'm only 27 weeks and a few days. Otherwise, I could be looking at early induction. They want to avoid that if at all possible.

I know it's for his health and mine. I know it's not just about me anymore. I'm just upset it happened, even if it was out of my control. :(

We have furniture!!!

The crib, in this finish.

This is the change table/dresser combo.

I've also picked out all the other gear.
