Monday go away!

Well it's been a nice and quiet weekend so far. The kids went to grandma's to stay so we had some quiet time. It was nice to relax, watch tv, and go out to dinner with friends. We went out for Chinese Friday night and Applebees on Saturday with Christy and Manuel. They will be here bright and early tomorrow so I guess I better get some early sleep tonight!

My blood glucose levels have been doing great so far since I started this new "diet" from the dietitian for my gestational diabetes. The problem is I feel like I'm constantly hungry for something. I'm eating like I should, every 2-3 hours but I feel like a bird and not eating as much as my body is longing for. I may have to see if they can do some adjusting in the long run.

That's about it for now! I'm just relaxing and chatting, enjoying the peace and silence for a little while longer. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Another day...

Ugh not feeling well today. Got up at 10:30 and low and behold my sugar was up. I ate and retesting soon. I feel so ran down and tired. Getting to the final homestretch in the pregnancy and starting to get a little more excited about it all. Now we just have to finish getting everything! I feel like we are so behind on that aspect and I'm scared it won't all be done before she gets here!

~*~*~*~*~29 weeks!!~*~*~*~*~

29 weeks!

We hit 29 weeks today, which puts us 11 weeks/77 days from our actual "due date." We are almost down to the final wire where we are counting by single digits. Almost here are the days of bows, diapers, late night feedings, lack of sleep, and lots of hugs, kisses, and loving.

Make sure if you haven't already, vote on the arrival of Miss Destinee! You can enter in a guess for weight, length, day born, time born, and even gender! It's a fun game and I like to see all the guesses!

Destinee Day Game-Make Your Guess!

Oh noes!

Well meant to update earlier but its been a busy weekend. We found out Friday that I do in fact have gestational diabetes. I wasn't all too shocked to find this out, considering we have quite a strong family history of type 2 diabetes. I have to go see a specialist this week to talk about diet, exercise, and monitoring my glucose levels. I've been keeping check of it since yesterday and so far not too bad. It's not too hard to watch my sugar intake since I don't eat a lot of it, but still trying to watch carbs. I don't eat much as far as pastas or breads or anything, but still wanting to watch it. I'm sure going to a cookout last night didn't help, which by the way was my nephew's birthday (Happy Birthday Storm!) and the food was awesome!! I caught up with being hungry. I hate having to wait almost a week to go to the specialist. It makes me nervous anymore when I eat, if what I'm eating is ok or will it shoot my sugar levels up too high. I guess I'll be glad when Thursday hits! Then for the weekend, the kids are heading to their grandparents for the whole weekend so we'll actually have some time alone. It should be nice and quiet. Not sure if we will plan anything besides actually sleeping when we want LOL!

I can't believe I hit 29 weeks in 2 more days. This pregnancy has went by so fast like a whirl around my head. But I can say I'll be really glad when Destinee makes her appearance and I get back to my old self. I don't mean just my body. I can tell such a drastic change in me since I got pregnant this time. I find myself wanting to do different things, avoiding others, loosing interests in some things that I used to love. Now I stay focused more on my family, this pregnancy, my health, and just getting ready in general, when I'm not too tired or too cranky to focus. I've enjoyed chatting with others going through the same things as me online, such as pregnancy or Christian's ASD. But she'll be here before you know it! I'd say 11 weeks or less! Big possibility I'll go early with the GD. Hope everyone had a great weekend and your Monday is off to a great start tomorrow!

Week 28, Day 2

Well here it is 8:35pm EST and I haven't had dinner yet. Wes isn't feeling well and is lying in the bed. I think he just got too hot outside working today. Good news is I found a travel system, swing, and play yard, all in Winnie the Pooh, and in great condition. I can get all three of them for $165! So hoping to meet up with the ladies soon to get everything underway.

Heading back to the doctor's tomorrow to do my dreaded 3 hour glucose testing. I was nervous but I just think to myself...what happens happens. I'm about sure I have gestational diabetes this time around but not much I can do about that now. I just have to watch my diet even closer and try to get some more walking in.

I can't believe we are already in the third trimester, counting down the remaining weeks. Only 12 more to go! Wow where has the time went!!

New belly pictures to add in for week 28.
