I got the news today. Gestational Diabetes. Womp, womp. Not going to lie -- I'm pretty upset right now. Dr. Google has not been my friend: More likely to develop Type 2 diabetes later in life; huge baby; c-section; NICU; preemie.
I'm waiting on the dietician to call me so I can get started. In the meantime, I'm supposed to avoid carbs and sugar. So basically, anything that tastes delicious. Mr. Dougie has offered to do my insulin shots, should I need them. Which, of course, made me bawl like the hormonal, pregnant woman that I am.
In the meantime, BabyDougie2.0 is doing well. I'm 28w,2 days today. He's kicking up a storm. We still don't have a name. Although A says we should name him after her little friend, Jolene. Somehow, I don't think a boy named Jolene would really work.
I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with this blog yet. Part of me is starting it so I have a space to record my GD-approved meals. But it would also be nice to have a space to track my babies as they grow. It's a work in progress.
