Today we had our latest apt with baby b # 2. E was especially well behaved considering our apt was booked in for 8:45am and did not get into see the doctor until after 10am. The doctor was called in to a emergency c-section and his half hour delay was more than a hour.
Doug and E did some laps, read books and E played with some other little friends who were waiting with their mom for an apt. Good thing I decided to bring a snack with us for E.
I am down 11/2lbs since 2 weeks ago and I have only gained 13lbs total this pregnancy so far. Hard to believe I am gestational diabetic when you hear that. The heartbeat was good and so was my blood pressure.
The doctor asked about my sugar levels which are final going down to a more reasonable area in the window I have to be in for being pregnant. Monday I called in my numbers and was told to dial both insulin meds up another level to help lower my numbers in the morning and two hours after each meal. I now take 15 of 1 at night and 5 before each meal of the other kind 3 times a day.
The more ironic part is that the doctor from the diabetic clinic whom I have yet to have a appointment with until July has still not called in my insulin prescriptions or the needle tips I need to I've the insulin to myself. So I had to get more needle tips from the clinic this morning until he cut ally calls it in. Good thing they give you the meds you need for about a month when you are gestational diabetic. Let's hope he calls them in before I run out and do not have to keep dialling the levels up. Fingers crossed this past dial up works for the rest of the time or at least awhile.
We go back in another 2 weeks..the 18th of June I believe. After that apt we may start to go every week...that apt we have a ultrasound. I am slowly packing things on my baby bag lit and what I am not using right now for my hospital bag. E's room is slowly getting there and we will probably move her into her new room in the next couple weeks to give her lots of time to adjust.
That's all for now xo.
