Update: Momma & Baby Green

This morning I headed out to my nutrition class for the gestational diabetes. I had a quick eval and then was in a class with two other women. During the evaluation I was able to have another ultrasound of the baby. It was great and made my morning. La Petite Bebe Green was tucked all up on its belly which meant we were not able to see any gender bits. However, it kicked towards the ultrasound wand and made everything go all fuzzy for a minute which made me laugh! Say it with me now - "Mooom, get out my room!"

I'm excited to get these blood sugars under control. Thankfully from doing weight watchers in the past I already have a good start on counting and measuring foods. Now, I just have to subscribe to their way of doing it. Also, I have to remember to take my blood sugar readings 4 times a day. So, starting tomorrow I'm going to make it my number one priority. I'll keep you posted on my progress. My follow-up in on 12/31 and at that time they will evaluate if I will be able to do this with diet or if I'll need oral medication or insulin.

On a very good front, my awesome husband is willing and eager to go on the diabetic diet with me. He's already been working hard to change his perception of portion sizes so this will be another great step in the right direction for all of us.

Keep your fingers crossed it will all work out!

PS. I did forget to mention that I only gained 2 pounds since my last doctor's visit, but I was wearing lots of layers including a vest. I'm not sure all those pounds belonged to my body.
