Luckily I covered my mouth to save my computer but that did not save the carpet, the floor, the kitchen sink, my clothes and feet! I hurled 3x before I made it to the sink, puke squeezing between my mouth and fingers landing in sickening splats on the floor. Then the peeing started. So I now had hurl all over my hands, nose, mouth, chin, down the front of my only clean shirt and my feet AND pee down the front of my pants (my only clean capris...give me a break, it's been 90 here all week!).
After a good 5 minutes I felt ok enough to survey the damage and get myself cleaned up.
So, yeah, I really thought that cottage cheese and tomatoes tasted good, but I didn't want to taste it again! This also begs the question, do I test in 2 hrs even though my lunch now is in the sink? LMAO!
Well, my appt was a long one yesterday. With the teaching of how to use my new glucose monitor and the usual "how ya doin'?" and then my biophysical profile, we closed the place down, everyone left including my doc! The GD diet isn't too bad, it's actually the same diet I was on when I went to LA Weight Loss and lost 40+lbs. So, I don't really think it's too hard to follow, it'll just be making sure we have the stuff in the house. The hard part will be eating again. I never eat breakfast because I feel like crap still, so having to eat that and a few other snacks during the day is way hard for me and my nausea. I also don't really understand how I can have a Sonic Burger with onion rings and my sugar was 101, but today I eat the diet to a "t" and my sugars were 150. Oh well, I guess it's not an exact science and it'll take a while to figure my own stuff out.
Jaylon looks awesome, like he has been all along. He's really doing the "breathing" now and looked so adorable practicing already in my tummy. My placenta is still holding strong at a Grade 1 too. We talked very briefly about the impending c-section and the doc said in cases like me they usually take them at 38 wks. But, of course it still depends, so nothing is scheduled yet. I can't believe it...that's 9 1/2 weeks away, not that I'm counting or anything! But I'm so ready to meet this guy.
I'm still on weekly appts until he gets here, so I have mine next week on Tuesday, when they'll look at the sugars I've done and see how we proceed from there.
I can't believe I made it...the 3rd trimester and I'm here! Along with the 3rd trimester comes testing...glucose testing, group b strep testing, etc. One of those I have failed. I took my 1 hr and failed then took the 3 hr glucose test on Monday. I failed that too. So, those keeping score that means I have Gestational Diabetes. I knew I would, I had a feeling all along and it explains a lot of things with this pregnancy (sickness, larger baby, etc.). I'm glad I have answers and was tested so quickly, now it's just to get it under control.
At my appt tomorrow I will get my monitor to test my sugars, I will also have an appt made for me for a diabetes class, so I know what and how to eat. The thing that sucks more than anything is having to cut back on carbs (I love me some bread and taters!...I'm southern what do you expect?!) and having to prick my finger, that always hurts more than having blood taken. Oh well.
I'll update more when I take the class and talk to my doc tomorrow, I'm sure he'll have insight on this.
Wow, she'd be 8 years old today. Instead we have her and her little brother watching over us in heaven. So much has changed in the past 8 years and today it doesn't sting as much anymore. I'm still sad, of course, but it's a different sad.
So, happy birthday baby girl!
Well, the u/s tech sucked, like the last time...she doesn't talk and just does her thing. She didn't even do the biophysical profile, just a regular level II u/s. Luckily I can read my own damn u/s's now! LMAO! Everything looked awesome, like always! Placenta looked homogeneous so it's still a Grade I (in my opinion), Jay was moving like crazy and is as cute as ever! The crazy news of the day is his size...ready for it?
JAYLON IS 3 LBS 2 OZ! He's already measuring 30wks and I'm 27 and 4! This is one huge kid!
Here's Jay's profile with his cute little hand next to his nose! You can clearly see his fingertips and thumb!
Here's his profile again...look at that widdle nose!
And now for the glucose test results...I FAILED! :( So yeah, I have the three hour one on Monday morning. I had a 133 and it needs to be under 130. I'm really thinking I do have Gestational Diabetes, especially since this baby is already a toddler!
Soooo...tomorrow is another u/s (yeah!)...I was measuring 29 wks so he's a little big and hopefully I'll know about the glucose test results tomorrow afternoon. That was about it.
I'm past the original milestone of 26 and 2, thank goodness. I'm still nervous and will be, I'm sure, until I finally hear Jaylon cry. He's moving less but I think he's running out of room, weighing in at 2lbs 5oz (ish) already. And Sean has decided that he will be JDawg! LMAO!
My docs are awesome, doing anything to help me get through this. Even printing off a pic of my placenta so I can "sleep with it" since it's so pretty! The only thing wrong with me is my history, is what my doc said last time. It's strange really, things are going so well. I have my glucose tolerance test next week and my rhogam shot should be coming in the next few weeks. Also decided for sure is that I will have a repeat c-section, no VBAC for me, which is good. I'm all for VBACs but not with my history. I will keep seeing the docs every week until delivery and I'm perfectly fine with that!
Thanks for all the well-wishes and thoughts. I still need 'em, 'cause boy have they helped! Also coming up, now that we're getting past this...shopping for everything baby, touring the L&D and enrolling Kenna in the sibling class!
I finally got a letter about my long term disability...yes, after 5 months! They denied me because they claim my injury falls into the pre-exsisting condition thing. Everything they stated for reason for denial was based on my RIGHT ankle...not the LEFT like it should have been! Duh, I'm not saying that I'm disabled because of my right ankle morons...it feels great. It's the LEFT ankle, like I have told them at least once a month since September!
Geeze, so now I have to fight it and see if they can pull their heads out of their asses long enough to realize the difference between left and right! In the meantime, I lose my money from them. UGH, now is not the time I need to lose money, not with a baby coming!
Idiots!
I can't believe it. The week that I dread is now here. I have a doc appt tomorrow, thank goodness. I'm not freaking out as much as I thought I would, but the week is just beginning.
All went well yesterday at my appt. Right now I'm still outpatient but if something changes or something isn't quite right I'm supposed to go to the ER again. And depending on how I am next week I may or may not be put in the hospital. We're playing it by ear! I did have a biophysical profile done and Jaylon looks wonderful. My placenta is Grade 1, which rocks! And the fluid looks wonderful.
So, all is wonderful is baby land!
