Christmas updates

Well, we have an interesting December. I went for my glucose testing, and it turns out that I do in fact have gestational diabetes. That one threw me off, as I have been feeling fine and have no symptoms, but as I learn more about it, it's getting better. I have an appointment with a diabetic counselor this coming Wednesday, so I'll learn more...just in time for Christmas, I know! From what I have been reading, I will most likely have to start checking my blood sugar 4 times a day, but hopefully this is something that can be controlled with diet alone. Once I get it under control, the midwife told me that I won't be at any higher risk for any of the complications than someone who does not have GD...so that's my motivation to make this work! I have still been feeling fine, and Special K keeps reminding me that he's around. I went for my last appointment with the midwife this week...from now on, I'll be attached to an actual doctor, not just a midwife. I hadn't met with this one before, but she was super nice. She took my measurements, and he's measuring exactly where he's supposed to be. She was able to tell me that his head is down (which is fine, he still has time to move around), and that he was sticking his butt out at her :) Great!

But anyways, overall, things are still going well. I'm getting over a cold...I've had it for about a week now, and I HATE being sick, so I hope it will be completely gone by Christmas. I'll now be seeing the doctor every 2 weeks...I can't believe I only have 13 weeks left to go!

Hugs,
Kristen and Special K :)
