I'm not sure how I feel about the weather. I should be happy that we've had an unseasonably cold spring here (already passed the record rainfall for June), but I didn't expect to need a maternity coat with an August due date, so my coats have been severely inadequate for the last few months. Luckily I've got AC at home and work so I'm hoping it won't be a big deal when it warms up. It doesn't really get that hot here anyway.
As for me, the diabetes thing has been a struggle - some days my levels are awesome, other days they're above the limit (although not that bad). I basically eat the same stuff everyday, so its been really puzzling my doctors. I'm on medication, but since I'm taking the absolute lowest dose possible (next highest dose makes me hypoglycemic), its been pretty difficult to control. We decide next week if I need to go to insulin, which will be a lot easier to control. I've been eating a lot better and not gaining much weight (I've gained less than 10 lbs from when I got pregnant). granted I was overweight to begin with and it seems like a lot of that weight is starting to go to the baby. As long as the baby is healthy, that's fine by me.
Of course, now that I have GD, I am considered high risk, so I get to go in for weekly appointments now (I'm 32 weeks) and each appt will include non-stress testing. Just had an ultrasound that confirmed the baby hasn't been affected by my gestational diabetes, so I'm happy to know that - they estimate her weight at 3lbs 14 oz. I also found out I'll be induced before my due date, so its kind of nice to know it won't go any longer than that. I'm hoping the baby stays head down so I won't automatically need a c-section.
Over the weekend, I think I strained either a ligament or muscle in my abdomen which makes it painful to move (the doctors can't figure out what's wrong, but at least the baby is fine). but the hubby has been great taking up the extra house duties like cooking and cleaning, so I can veg out on the couch.
Nursery is painted, furniture should be delivered in a week or two, and hubby is scrambling to get the master bath remodel completed. The summer is so full of social stuff, it will be cutting it close to get it done. I sort of feel bad that I'm so useless right now around the house, but then I remember that growing a baby is hard work and then I don't feel so bad
