Updates

A week after finding out I had Gestational Diabetes I finally heard from the center that is supposed to help me out and figure out this diet. Unfortunately I still have to wait for Tuesday for my 3 HOUR appointment. Hopefully I'll have a better handle on what I'm suppose to be eating and doing. I know that I have to limit my carbs and no sugars, but I also have to eat at the same times each day and measure my blood sugar levels, which I can't do without the glucose meter! I got frustrated to find I out I had something we needed to deal with and then not get any help on it for so long! Hopefully we'll figure this out!

Because of the Gestational Diabetes I have to have Antenatal stress tests done 2 times a week at the hospital! That's right, 2 times every week until the baby comes!!!! On top of that I will have to meet with the Diabetic center at least weekly and then there are my regular doctors appointments that will go to a weekly visit in the next week or so! How in the world am I supposed to find child care for a minimum of 4 doctor's visits each week!!!!!????!!!! I am suddenly feeling really busy!

I did have my first antenatal stress test yesterday and the baby looked great, so we'll keep hoping for good numbers! It is nice to have the baby checked so often when you suddenly have something to worry about.

Potty training update! Bri is doing pretty good most days. In fact, she doesn't have too many accidents these days, but then there are days where that's about all we have too! She loves "lollipops" and I got his huge one at Enrichment last week! I told her she could have it if she filled up her potty puzzle and stayed dry for 2 days! She was so excited when she got it. And no, I didn't let her eat the whole thing, I set a timer and she had free reign on it til then! She was super excited about her "Huge lollipop!!!!" Whatever works, right?

I also have worked on tons of projects lately but just haven't gotten around to taking the pics. Here is a diaper bag I made for the baby, and I love how it turned it! It actually makes me more excited for the baby! I also made a moby wrap that I'll show pics of once there's a baby in it! And I made a crib skirt for the crib. I've been busy and there is still so much more to do!!!
