30 weeks - 165 pounds

I went to the doctor today, the perinatoligist says I have gestational diabetes and sent me to get baseline labwork to check for pre-eclampsia. While there I also recieved a lovely orange jug to pee in for the next 24 hours. I was right when I told my husband I thought they were paying alot of attention to the baby's heart on the last ultrasound. The doc says there is a small amount of fluid around the baby's heart but he doesn't seem concerned with it right now. He says I have a skinny baby and this one won't be anywhere near the 8 pounds 4 ounces my last weighed. I am scheduled for an another ultrasound in 3 weeks, my midwife appts will continue to be weekly and every other week I will have non stress tests. I am also awaiting a call from the diabetes clinic at the hospital to meet with a dietician for nutritional counseling. My husband went with me today and now undersands how strict my bedrest is supposed to be. I think when the perinatoligist went and got the wheelchair for me that must have done it. I am allowed to lay or sit but no walking or driving. Hubby has now offered to get up my 7 year old and get him off to school and is going to go in late on Mondays to take me to the doctor! I am so much less stressed than last week, even though I found out I do have GD. I can easily sacrifice 10 weeks of food I love for the health of my little boy.
