Yesterday was day 1 of the week of drs appointments. I saw my ob and got a non stress test done. Showed a very active baby and some small contractions.   I confessed about the horrible headaches I’m getting again and she wasnt too concerned since my bp and urine check were fine.  I gained a few pounds, putting my weight gain about 14lbs and for 32 1/2 weeks that no so bad.  I’m finally gaining which is good since i was losing weight.   She was of course concerned w/ my diabetes and lack of control over my fastings and my ketones.  I told her I was seeing the endo. today so she said we’d discuss it more on Thursday after I’d seen him.
So, before todays appt even I was stressed because my ketones were up and still an abnormal fasting number.  So I was expecting him to make a big deal at my appt today but he wasnt as concerned as I was!  In fact he decided not to raise my insulin but instead to run some blood work and see if he could figure out what was going on.  So we’ll see what happens when those results come in, but first I need to get to the lab, I tried to go w/ Bo at the hospital where the dr was but Bo was too fussy to wait and I dont blame him as he sat contently in the stroller for my appointment.
I’m hoping Dean can come home early from work, I had to call my pcp to schedule an appt for other stuff going on and they got me in this afternoon, the other option was Thursday of this week but I’ll be at the ob for a long time due to my ultrasound, stress test and appt so this was all I could do for this week w/ them so I took the appointment.     So adding in this other appt today makes me have 4 doctors appointments this week and one trip to the lab.   Bo is sick too so I’m hoping he wont have to go in to the dr this week too, it’s no wonder I’m so tired all of the time w/ all of this running around town!  We are hping he’s just adjusting to being off the antibiotics since this is what happened after he went off them last time for his ear infection and not that he still has an ear infection. he was up bright and early this morning and super fussy. He fell asleep in the car on the way home from the dr today, around 10 am and stayed asleep when I put him in is crib where he is still sleeping.   So I am dreading having to take him to the dr too.  I am worn out and it’s so freaking expensive for us to keep having to go to the dr.   our medical insurance is going to hate us! thank goodness we dont have a deductible, but the copays still eat up a ton of money!
so nothing new to report babywise, looking forward to my appt on Thurs. to see what the ob is going to say about what the endo said, which wasnt much.  If anything at least the baby is getting checked often enough that we’ll know if the diabetes is affecting him.  I’m still torn about baby names, I have one I really love and dean has one he really loves and while he likes my name also I really cant see us naming our boy the name he has picked.  I told him maybe when we meet him we’ll be able to know for sure which name will suit him best.  I hope so anyway!!
