33 Week 2 day Apt

Tuesday June 18th/2013

This morning we went for our 33 Week 2 day apt...after this apt we will be seeing the doctor in another two weeks on July 3rd. After the next two week appointment we will be going weekly.

Today was a ultrasound day. Blood pressure was good..always seems to be thank goodness cause lord knows it feels like everything else is not lol. The baby is now estimating at around 5lbs 5-7 ounces. If and I mean IF we make it til my due date Aug 5th/2013..he could be a 8-9lb baby. CRAAAAZY! If I am two weeks like I was with Miss E..he could be 7-8lbs and some ounces. I am hoping we hit that target area of weight..considering E was only 6lb 2oz and this baby is pretty much almost that size now in weight. Do not know how I feel about a smaller sized watermelon going through my gouchy but hey..what can you do right.

The baby appears to be head down already..which is great news. But with the amount it is somersaulting all the time..it would surprise me if it changes a couple of times before delivery. It constantly is moving, kicking, turning and having hiccups. E never moved this much..and considering how big the wee lad is already..it explains why I feel everything all the time and as often still.

This Gestational is going to drive me nuts! Has to be the worst time of year to be pregnant and have gestational diabetes. Everything from carbs to fruit to ice cream..dairy etc turns into sugar. I am now taking 22 for the long lasting and dialing it up to 24 tonight..to see if my morning number will reach the 5.2 or less..and then will decide whether to up my fast acting which I am currently taking 10 of with each meal. I feel like it will never be figured out and constantly changing. I know I have to do it and am willingly pricking my fingers and poor bruised running out of room stomach 4 times a day..whether I want to cry/scream due  the insulin burning as I inject it in. But it's just nuts I tell you. I really hope the baby does not come out with little holes all over his body lol. jk!!!

On the bright side both the doctor and the nurses at the diabetes clinic who are sweet as pie..no pun intended..both tell me that I am not allowed to go over when I have gestational diabetes..so that is good news. However may also mean I might have to be induced..which I would really prefer not to be or have a c-section if the situation does not continue to get better or size of the baby becomes too large. I am just praying that I do not have to constantly check the babies sugars once this is all over and worry about lows because my silly body could not produce enough insulin during this pregnancy. Seriously scarey stuff. I mean If i have a higher risk of type one or two and have to do this from now on..I have accepted that and can change alot with food..exercise etc. I will have to be tested 6 weeks after the wee lad is born to make sure my levels are all back to normal.

I think the worst part about all of this is feeling it is my fault!! When we eat fairly healthy. Now if I do want something like a ice cream or chips..cookie as a treat I feel very guilty. Hell..milk turns into sugar!!!!! Ya do what you have to tho right. They want me eating a snack at night so I do not get a low at night either..which I force upon myself to eat..not always feeling hungry then..and deal with it coming back at me all night due to the indigestion and heartburn..which I take acid reducers for right now..such a silly circle of events I am in. Not trying to complain either..just explaining what is happening.

So we move on right. I keep thinking 7 weeks left. Probably 5...even tho my dear husband says 5 or 4. He is banking on the 19th of July for some reason. I believe my sister in law said the 22nd of July...any takers on any other dates..When will Baby Brant # 2 be born? My date is Aug 5th and E was two weeks early..and GO!!!!!!

Until then I keep calling in my numbers..adjusting and praying everything is going to just be alright. Much love y'all. I will update you on Miss E next week...for She has her 18 month dr.app and will be 1 1/2 years old if you can believe it..I sure as hell can not!!! xo
