So I did my 3 hour glucose test this morning.. and my glucose levels weren’t just bad, they were astronomical. I am pretty disappointed in myself, I suppose my carb intake this pregnancy has been much higher than usual. I’m just hoping that they’ll allow me to try and manage my blood sugar levels with diet alone and I hope they don’t prescribe me insulin, but we’ll see what the doctors say on Monday.
Here’s a few cute pictures of Ellie to cheer everyone up. At least gestational diabetes is hopefully only during my pregnancy, which is what happened the last time with Eleanor.
I’ve only just realized that I haven’t been really touching upon doing my FlyLady beginners baby steps every day, besides sharing my clean sink. Today I added “make the bed” to the morning routine, which is something I actually already do. I love making the bed with beddy’s. But sometimes making the bed is pointless when Nathan hops in bed right after I hop out of it. But that’s ok, re-zipping the bed up later isn’t too hard.
I chose some blue lipstick today because I’m just feeling very sad. I’m crazy exhausted from Ellie not napping two days in a row, and everything just seems out of sorts. I hate to say that food brings me happiness, but it’s true. I actually enjoy cooking, so to be limited to a diabetic diet makes me a bit sad. I also can’t stand any artificial sweeteners AT ALL, so I won’t be able to enjoy any sweets for a while, but that’s ok. Hopefully I’ll feel happier tomorrow about everything.
But for sad days, 200/10
January 30, 2021 – I am grateful for finding out that I have gestational diabetes. Although it is an inconvenience to change my diet, I want baby to be the healthiest possible when baby enters the world. So for that I’m very thankful.
