Baby "A"
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.
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
ReplyDeleteI truly can't believe it! What a moment that will be for sure.
DeleteAhh, your little girls are so amazing :) I love that they both have hair!!! Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I've enjoyed following you journey and thinking of the things to come in the next few months (the good and not so easy!). So excited to be joining you with twin girls!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really love you are having two little girls also :)
DeleteI would ask for a retest of the 3hr if possible it really doesn't seem like you have GD with those numbers girlie! The 3D pics are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
DeleteOh how I love these photos of the girls, just so sweet!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteLove the pics! We're doing our ultrasound in 3 weeks, so exciting!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see yours!
DeleteThis post totally made my day. Look at those beautiful girls!! And I love the kissing photo.
ReplyDeleteManaging 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.
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.
DeleteThey look so sweet! I love baby B's squishy cheeks and the pic of Baby A kissing Baby B. Gah! So darling!
ReplyDeleteWe managed to get some really cute pics! I have a few with them kicking each other in the head.
DeleteLove, love the pictures of those sweet girls!
