Gestational Diabetes

well I went to the doctor yesterday to discuss my GD. I left and felt very upset. I explained to my dr I do not eat white starches. How I eat only whole wheat or whole grain. How I do not eat a lot of sweets if any, I only drink water, etc. He said since that is the case, the only thing for me to do is cut back on my portions. Basically, I am now eating half of what I was eating before and I have to test my blood 4xs a day. That pushed me over the edge into hysteria. Thank god for Ricky. He was so comforting, he went to the grocery store while i stayed home & relaxed (his orders), he came home with so much food, and even brought me flowers.

So last night for dinner, we made turkey sausage and peppers. I ate 1/2 of what i normally would, and basically went to bed starving.  The Doc warned me the first week is going to be hard, even warned Ricky that I will be moody, tired, and sometimes aggressive. (fabulous)

There were a couple wonderful things that happened at the appointment. I was able to moose man, & they gave me his weight and length, 4.3 lbs and 17.2 inches. Big boy, he is in the 76 percentile and is measuring about a week and a half ahead. We were telling the drs assistant how we tried to do our 4D pics and he kept hiding, so to put a smile on our face she took 3, 3D pictures for us....Below are those pictures. I cried, and cried. He look just like Ricky. Has his nose, and he is just the most handsome little man I have ever seen in my life. It makes the anticipation of meeting him in 9 weeks that much more worse, haha.
