27 Week 4/D

We had our u/s done on Saturday and got about 46 images back. Here are a few of my favorites:

Baby "A"
 Baby "B"
 Baby "A" kissing her sisters head
They both have hair! Baby A much more than Baby B.

Its hard to believe they could be here in as little as 4 weeks (32weeks).

I am really struggling with my blood sugars. For the most part they are really low for someone with GD. I am getting 80's and 90 readings after meals. I also am hungry all the time. I think I am losing weight. My eating habits before weren't bad and the dietician did tell me that the with GD, you don't get it because of your eating, it is because of how your body handles the stress of pregnancy. I have to keep a daily food journal and I stress out on the numbers. I stress out on what I eat. I can't wait until this is over. Good news, I doubt there will be insulin in my future with these numbers. I have noticed within the last week that I am having horrible dizzy spells. To the point I can't get up and walk or focus on things. I was in bed all day yesterday. Not sure what is going on. At the highest my bp was only 140/80. I started bringing my bp machine along with sugar meter to work everyday so I can stay on top of things. Just keep reminding myself this is all worth it and will be over soon.  Also found out that I have to keep getting my weekly infusions until the girls are born. Oh well I have been on them since before pregnancy, what is another two months?

This week I have appointments with:
Tuesday-dietician
Wed.- OB
Fri- MFM ( Can't wait to see how big the girls are)! My guess is they will both be near 3lbs.

  1. What sweet images of the girls! I know you are so excited to meet them! So sorry about your dizzy spells - hope you get to feeling better. And yay for no insulin, at least. It won't be long now and you'll be holding those beautiful babies - one in each arm! XO

    1. The thought of doing that test over again makes me want to cry. I told them two times was enough! I do agree that my numbers seem awful low with someone that has GD though.

  7. This post totally made my day. Look at those beautiful girls!! And I love the kissing photo.

    Managing GD is a full time job. I completely understand how frustrating this would be. If it gets to be too much, let your doctors know. This should not be stressing you out as much as it is. They will work with you to find aethin that works.

    1. I have my appointment this afternoon and I have my list of concerns. I don't want to lose weight. I know many woman would be excited to not be gaining, but I don't at all.
