Imma Be (31 Weeks Tomorrow!)
So I finally visited my doctor again today after two weeks of freaking out about the GD. Luckily, she is really nice and answered all the questions I had. Surprisingly, we like her WAY better than the CNM. It sounds like she might be one of those old-fashioned doctors that doesn’t really go along with natural birthing and what not, but she actually answered questions I had and didn’t make me feel silly for asking them. However, I found out that the clinic I go to rotates doctors so any one of 4 doctors could end up delivering me, so I am going to rotate who I go to unless they advise me otherwise (which they advised me to rotate).
Other than that, the appointment went well. The doc said that there is a chance that I might either need a c-section or induction at 37-38 weeks if my GD gets way out of hand. I am obviously more inclined to hope for the induction. However, so far, there is no indication that it might come to that because my glucose numbers are in a really good range just with diet alone. I am hoping it stays that way and mostly, I am hoping that I can keep up with the diet and excercise. But gosh, 9 more weeks! It seems so far away but not so far away. It’s crazy!
My baby shower is this weekend and I am quite excited. Mostly, because it gives me the green light to start buying whatever I didn’t get at the shower haha. So far we have the play yard, stroller and shelves. I am going to buy the gDiapers because I am sure no one will be buying those. I am waiting on clothes and I’d rather wait until the last minute anyways because I know I’ll just buy a bunch of stuff if I don’t stop myself from doing so. I am also excited because once March gets here, I got ‘permission’ from my husband (and mom) that I can begin to start putting things together for Caden in our room. I’ve been so eager that it’s hard to stop myself sometimes. I also need to develop a plan of action for how I am going to clean the crap out of my house (literally haha). I really want it spotless when Caden arrives and it’s really hard with pets. I am not discouraged though. Worst case scenario is that I’ll have to put the dogs and/or cats (at night and when we are gone) up in one room until we move into a bigger place. The bigger thing that needs to be done is carpet cleaning though! Ugh my carpets look hideous!
I’m going to leave on this note: I really really want a DSLR.

I'm glad your doctor was really nice about answering any questions that you had. Hopefully the rest of your pregnancy goes well for you and your GD doesn't get out of hand. I hope your baby shower goes well and you get lots of nice things (like a DSLR)! Those dDiapers are so awesome and adorable, too!
You are so close! I can't believe it! I remember when you told me…..awwww.
Don't worry about getting everything set up and clean. I was in overdrive the last month I was pregnant. You'll get it done.
Awww have a great baby shower
So close! I hope you get nice things at your baby!
Also I wish I had a DSLR as well…I used to but my dad did something with it when I moved so I have to get a new one…oh well!
Wow…you have a great doctor. I had a doctor that made me feel like I was a bother to him. Anything that I felt was out of the ordinary I called him. I asked any and every question possible. I didn't care. When I went for my check ups he rushed the whole process as if he had a million patients int he waiting room. I never knew I could be a burden to my doctor. Sheesh! Was I really that bad?! Anywho. I hope your shower went great. Feel free to drop by and talk. I like to meet mommys like myself. I'm a new mommy to a 2 month old. I have great tips I learned.
