I did it!!! I passed my most recent Glucose Tolerance Test! I’ll have another test in about 7 weeks at which point I’ll be suprised if I dont have gest. diabetes yet, as thats when I found out I had it w/ my first pregnancy and I think it’s almost a given to get it again. I was somewhat suprised I passed the test this time but am VERY glad I did. Seven weeks of eating whatever I want!!! Mind you I admit being a little sugar crazy this last week while i waited for test results, I think I was so worried I’d have to start a new diet this week since I thought I’d fail the test, that I was trying to enjoy as much as possible. A bad attitude I am sure, someone at high risk for developing a sugar problem should probably do better to avoid a problem, but sometimes I just love my sugary sweets! So for now we can all live normally and I dont have to change my diet, Im very grateful to have it this far w/out problems.
Dean on the other hand has been sick since Monday, I told him today that he’s just feeling pregnant! I hate when he is sick, especially when he vows he doesnt need a dr til of course it’s late at night and he feels miserable beyond compare. My ultimatum is if he isnt up to going to work tomorrow then I make him an appt, I should have really forced the issue today so he could go to work tomorrow, but he is so set in his ways about not seeing a dr and I wasnt up for the fight.
I have some belly pics but am embarassed by how fat I am so I dont think I’ll share them sorry guys! Ironically I havent really gained that much weight, and everyone thinks I look good, but under the clothes I know the truth. It has a lot to do w/ having a tummy before I got pregnant and now the baby is moving that already unneeded unwanted fat up and out so I it looks like i have two baby bellies, it’s rather disturbing. Today we found belly pics from right before i had caleb and I was huge, I cant imagine being that big, but I know it wont be long! Dean thinks my chest has grown overnight and by my nagging back pain these last two days I think he might be right. I had a growth spurt in that area early on too so I thought I was done, but I guess not. I think I need some new clothes soon too but I hate to spend the money on that when we need other things. My shorts are starting to get tight which isnt too bad since I’m five months pregnant and still in my regular clothes. But I need shirts and now bras I suppose too, yes I know TMI!
caleb is getting that theres a baby in my belly, He has started patting my belly when he’s sitting next to me, it’s too cute. and he says the baby’s name sooo cute too, but I guess unless you’ve guessed what the name is you wont understand that until we announce the name. Speaking of Caleb, he’s finally well on his way to being potty trained. I thought it would never happen and every day is still a battle over pooping in the potty, but more often than not he’s going on the potty and not in his pull ups. It’s exciting, I was soo praying he’d be potty trained by his birthday or at latest before the new baby comes, and I think at this rate we are right on track. I dont look forward to potty training a boy again in 3 years as everyone says girls are easier to potty train but I can always pray the next child is trained sooner than Caleb was.
well I am off to bed, it’s been a stressful week w/ Dean sick and I’m not feeling up to par either. I’ve had my first headache in at least a month, maybe longer, since 3 , 3 1/2 months pregnant I really havent had a headache, until this week when I’ve had at least one a day. Just hoping it’s whatever Dean has and not my other problems coming back to haunt me again. Since dean’s had a headache and aches all week I’m guessing we all are just getting a bug, which is better than having to worry about my pseudotumor again. Time to get the kiddo in bed and sooner than later myself too!
