Gestational Diabetes

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.
