I went to meet with a new dietician today, that works with my endocronologist.    I was not looking forward to it, fearing it was all my fault that my levels were off.  Turns out she does things completely different that the dietician whose diet I’d been following and so now I’m on a “new” plan that doesnt make me eat a serving of fruit and 2 servings of veggies w/ every meal.    she said on the old plan I was eating too many carb servings due to the added fruits and veggies.  she also disagreed w/ how my endo. told me to eat 45 carbs before bedtime to keep my ketones down in the  morning!!   It was hard to come up w/ a plan to help the ketones and my fasting levels, but for now the plan is a small snack before bed, much smaller than I’d been doing thank goodness, and getting up around 3 am for a snack and to check my sugar.  While there so consulted w/ another dr and it seems if this doesnt work I’ll see the other dr as well and I’ll start taking more insulin, a different form around 3 am or so.   I’m not looking forward to the more insulin but I’d be glad to not have to stress over how this is all affecting the baby.

The dietician was great and I’m very hopeful but now I have to rethink how I was eating and while it should be easier at first it’s going to be hard to adjust to the changes.   The downside was I had both boys this afternoon and Dean had to try to occupy them there at the hospital for an hour and a half while I had my appointment.  I know it felt worth it to me since I came home w/ more solids answers and solutions, but I’m sure he’s not happy about how long it was.    He’s staying late at work so I’ll be paying for that  hour and half and then some until the kids get in bed.    I’ve got my ob appt tomorrow and I’m going to ask if it will be ok for us to go away next weekend, praying in one sense we can but then again if not than maybe we’ll still have money to redo the bathroom, total damage done by fixing the van problems this week was $450  —ouch!  that’s more than we were budgeting to redo the bathroom, and we’d even gone and picked out things and knew how much it would be.   🙁

I’m wiped out from a busy day and tomorrow will be busier.   Dean’s birthday is Friday and I need to make it to get his gift still!  I was going to go tonight since he’s working but caleb fell asleep in the car and I am just too tired to wrestle two sleepy kids at the store this evening.    I’ll update more after my 34 week appt tomorrow!
