Whats happening with mommy this week:
Well, this has been a trying week for us. I took a but load of blood tests this week and found out I have gestational diabetes. It's something my doctor thinks I can control with diet. I have to take blood tests 4 times a day now and we go see the nutritionist on Friday. We saw our Doctor for the first time this week. She just did the routine tests, and went over our medical history. She ordered all the blood work and an ultrasound to date the pregnancy. I think we know the date, but the Doctor wanted to make sure.
I've been pretty tired lately. We went to the mall on Sunday and we walked one floor and I was ready for a nap. I had to sit down before we tackled the next floor. I'm wondering if my blood sugar levels being all over the place is what might be causing it. When we tested them today, they were in the normal range. I guess I just need to keep an eye on things. Other than this it has been a busy week with not a lot of extra things going on. My tummy is starting to get bigger. The baby is starting to burp and fart alot via my body; this is my story and i'm sticking to it!!!
