This is totally unrelated to anything but…
Yeah! Just talked to my doctor and I do NOT have pre-eclampsia! Yeah! Happy Days!
Miraculously, things are still going well. The babies are growing and having a good old time kicking around in sensitive, inconvenient locations. I can already start to see little personalities developing. The little goober on the right is very laid back and delicate with her movements. The one on the left feels like she is searching for the best technique to kick her way out of me. I feel bad sometimes because leftie kicks her sister so hard that she visibly pops her up on the other side of my tummy. She might need a time-out after she is born
Not nice! hee hee.
We have completely shocked all of the doctors with the fact that the goobers are still hanging on. We couldn’t be happier… except for the fact that I received a tidbit of extremely annoying news last week. Apparently, I have developed Gestational Diabetes. Yuck! With luck, it will go away once the babies are born but it is turning out to be a real pain (and frankly, a little scary.) When I first found out, I met with a diabetes nutritionist to develop a meal plan for managing my blood sugar. I assumed that if I follow my plan to the letter, I would be fine. Wow… was I wrong! This stuff is tricky! I am slowly figuring it out but it is a lot harder than I thought that it would be. I definitely have a new-found respect for people with diabetes.
On top of the oh-so-fun Gestational Diabetes stuff, the doctors are also a little worried about preeclampsia again. They ran a bunch more tests and I should find out the results early this week. I think that I should only be allowed to have one complication at a time! Hopefully, the preeclampsia testing is negative!
