Today I had the best appointment!
a. I've only gained 10 lbs...
b. I made peace with the decision to have a third c-section vs. VBAC. Everyone is different and God has let me know this is our birth story. The doctor and I had a wonderful conversation.
c. I know my baby boy's birthday and it's September 1st. (5 whole days before school starts which is a huge relief for me!)
d. My family's calendar of special days is set (I guess unless he decides to come early)
e. And then while my mom babysat I went to Starbucks and celebrated with my gestational diabetes special order - a 12 oz soy latte.
Today beat yesterday in leaps and bounds and birthday balloon highs.

Oh my gosh!!! So exciting. That reminds me...I saw the cutest boy bday party idea & thought of you :) I'll have to see if I can find it again. Love you. Char
That's so great! I know what a planner you are. :()) Any names yet?
So excited to meet the little guy! Miss seeing you.
Stephanie,
I have gestational diabetes too! I was really upset with myself until I had to realize it was not my fault. I am 8 months pregnant and have lost 7 pounds! So I guess there is a small perk?! LOL Good luck to you. I love hearing about your family and I am so excited for that baby boy of yours. I just knew the boy was coming!
I was borderline at 28 weeks so she did the test again. Then I was full blown! I am as careful as I can be. I have met with a dietitian and my mom is diabetic so I am getting lots of help. Since you have been diagnosed so early I would be as careful as you can. One of the side effects that can happen to the baby is they have a higher chance of getting diabetes at a young age. It can suck because I really want chocolate cake! LOL but I just have to limit myself to maybe 2 bites of that cake instead of a whole piece. Please let me know if I can help or give you more details. Its not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Just make sure you get yourself a dietitian.
Whooohooo!
The perfect birthday! can't wait to meet the little guy!
