Recent Happenings

  • When I called my mom to wish her a happy birthday on Friday, she proceeded to ask me how much weight I have gained so far in this pregnancy. Honestly, I have no idea. Last time I was weighed, it was like 3 pounds. It's been a few weeks, so I'm guessing that number is higher now.
  • She then told me to "You need to watch what you eat. I only gained 3 pounds when I was pregnant with you and I only gained 8 pounds when I was pregnant with your sister." Thanks mom. =/

  • I'm guessing that pregnancy pantyhose is different than giant plus size pantyhose. Anyone have experience with this? I am wearing a dress to church today and I found a package of size D (up to 240lbs) nylons in my nylon box. They fit perfectly around my belly, but my legs seem a bit baggy.

  • Wednesday is my 3 hour "Diabetes in Pregnancy" class. I was not happy about having to take a 1/2 day off of work, but you do what you gotta do. Luckily, B is able to come with me. I will also get an individualized meal plan at that time. The nurse said it is not an issue that I am a vegetarian. Yay!

  • Our gender u/s is in 18 days. I'm so excited!

I had GD, it wasnt so bad but they sort of forced me to take insulin which wasnt hard but it scared me at first. I did the nutritionist thing and they didnt tell me anything I didnt already know...just sort of gave me restrictions. If I had it all over to do again I'd take the test again. My numbers were about where yours were. The thing is they gave you the most sugary drink possible OF COURSE your levels are up....I know its the time in processing but what helped mine was walking 15 minutes after every meal....it helped better than shooting my belly with insulin ( which is what I had to do )....hugs. I know how it feels to go through GD..


PS I didnt know they made preggo pantyhose! lol
