03-4-2008 - April 2, 2008...........35weeks and 5days

My mood while writing this blog: slightly worried

---

So, there has been so much going on lately!... I had my baby Shower on March 29, and received so many useful things like bottles, toys, clothes, wipes, socks and lots of other things... I am so thankful that I had that baby shower because now my little guy is set with clothes for a LONG TIME! I only received 2 packs of diapers, but that's okay because I can go to Costco and almost a months worth of diapers for 30$, so that's not a big problem.

Sam and I got the baby's bassinette and other essential things like an organizer, a lamp, and other little things like nightlight, batteries and such... So I put together the babys Bassinette the first day I got it and it's sitting there in my room with a quilted fitted sheet on it and little stuffed animals hanging from the the top of it... it looks so lonely over there without a baby in it yet, but I know it will be filled soon enough.

I also have washed all the clothes and blankets and towels and washcloths, also the hats and socks and booties as well... I beleive that's called "nesting" and I am sure that's what i did because I have had SO little sleep the past week or so, partially due to me trying to perfect things and get things ready for him and partially due to DISCOMFORT!

I have had 4 contractions now... two on Saturday March 29 and two on Sunday March 30 but none after that... I think I was just working myself too hard and doing too much walking.

I have been doing very well with my GD, I wake up and it's anywhere from 70 - 85 and after I eat it's usually around 120, so I am really trying to change my diet and get the walking in where I can.

I also had a Dr. Appointment today, now since becoming Gestational Diabetic I am considered a "high-risk" pregnancy therefore I can no longer see my beloved Midwife anymore.... booo..... I saw a Dr. today and she scared me a lot... She told me all of the things that could happen to my Baby due to my GD, I knew all this but she just said it in a way where it scared the shit out of me... Then she measured the top of the uterus to the pelvic bone and it was at 41!!!! I was so scared because she then felt my belly and said "Hmmmm.... it looks like he's about 7 1/2 pounds right now".... she then proceeded to tell me that Inducing a Gestational Diabetic is not an option (whatever, I talked to the GD specialist at my hospital and she told me they often induce a GD a week or week and a half early)... SO the Dr. also said that If I don't go into labor naturally by my duedate then she will order a c'section... I was like "what???"... I don't plan on seeing her again, I just don't agree really.

I have a U/s scheduled on the 14th to check on my little Pooklynne Jr.... a.k.a. Michael Demetrio!!! Today she did a short sonogram to make sure he is still head down and it was ADORABLE, he was just curled up in there and I saw his little back expanding and she told me that he is "practicing his breathing"... this made me so happy because it shows he is doing well with his lung development, which I know can be a concern for babies of GD mothers... SO that made me irresistabley happy.

Well, I really need to go to sleep I'm sitting here with my eyes half shut, I've been up since 9am and it is now 1am, so I need to go... Hope all is well with you and your little muffins

Molly and baby Mikey

Hey I have been so worried about you and wondered if you had to go to hosp or something. It's not like you have to keep in touch or anything but you always seem to be online and when you werent I got a bit like a paranoid mummy. Anyway with this new layout I realised that you had recently written something so I thought I would check and I am glad I did. Glad to hear that all is going well with you. I loved your little blog there. I dont write anything because nothing really noteworthy is happening. and good on you for keeping up and positive about your GD. It must be a challenge. Well hopefully I will talk to you again real soon take care
