Surprise Surprise!!

I do NOT have Gestational Diabetes (Insert sarcastic tone here and rolling of the eyes)! Heck even my OBGYN rolled his eyes. I met with him today and expressed my disgust for the specialist that we met last week and told him that I no longer want that specialist involved in my care. He completely agreed after hearing the dangerous recommendations that this guy had in mind. After talking more with my OBGYN, Dr. R., I felt much better. We are on the same page, nothing has changed, and I still feel completely comfortable with our plan for the rest of the pregnancy. This guy has a great calming effect on me!

Things that are coming up soon...I will do a more valid glucose tolerance test at 28 weeks and I will get the steroid shots then as well to mature Grayson's lungs. So if we see any kind of trouble, he is coming out. I would much rather deal with the consequences of a premature baby than to lose another son. With that being said, because I am pretty sure someone is going to take that the wrong way, we by no means want to deliver prematurely if we can avoid it. We continue to pray for Grayson to be healthy and for my health as well.

Everything continues to look very good and I go back in two weeks. The only real issue that I am having right now if the extreme need to eat 24/7. I am actually waking up in the middle of the night starving! I just don't remember that with Brayden. I am doing my best to make good choices but tonight I had a very odd dinner.
A few pieces of homemade pita bread pizza, some corn flakes with milk, and a low fat ice cream sandwich. I am just not sure what this child is doing to me ;)

  1. Ugh sorry your "specialist" sucked! Ours was great. Wish I could recommend him to you but I'm pretty sure you don't want to make that drive. I totally remember waking up in the night STARVING with the girls. But I think its good- your body is letting you know hat it needs. Good luck!

  2. Haven't been here in a week or so. I was catching up with you and your family, thanks for keeping us posted. I will be praying for your friend and always pray you and yours. Went to church Sunday, it was awesome. Wish you could have been there but I know God has other plans for you right now, to get that baby here on this earth, take care Love Audrey
