Alright, well KC has an interview in 20 minutes with a job that we have been wanting him to get! It pays about $15,000 more a year than what he was previously getting, it’s union, and he is gone 4 days out of the week then home the next three.
CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!
I am fantasizing that he gets this job, then I can go hunt for retired pieces that I want, and maybe some ebay pieces? hehehe….it’s a fantasy!EVERYTHING is crossed for you!!!!! (luck.luck.luck.luck.luck)
Thanks again everyone! I saw my OB today, he thinks that I will be able to manage my sugars just fine, as long as I follow the diabetic educator’s instructions…I am meeting with them on monday. He is also behind me about being induced, he will do all he can to let me go naturally, he said that I can’t go past my due date, and as long as I can manage the sugar levels it will be okay. He did say that if I can’t manage the level, or if the baby gets way too big, we will decide whether or not to just break my water, without the medications and such. But…if the baby gets really really big, more than 10 pounds or the placenta stops cooperating, they will have to induce, rather than risk a c-section. They are going to monitor me and the baby very carefully, and if by 35-36 weeks it looks dangerous, they will do an amnio to check his lungs and if we’re all clear they’ll induce. I have an ultrasound on the 25th, and he is still measuring 2 weeks larger than he’s supposed to be, so my doc thinks I will go early on my own…FINALLY some GOOD news!!!! That was the best birthday present!!!
Thank you all!!! I had a good day, I had an OB appointment, and lamaze class, lol soo exciting! but my husband got me roses!! We’re doing cake with my family on saturday, today was just too busy!!
Thank you again…I feel a little better now, just overwhelmed. Hopefully I will know more after our appt. tommorrow, and we have one with the diabetic obstetrics people on monday too. Thank you for the well wishes, It means alot! 😀
I hate complaining to you guys, but I need to vent. I just found out that I have gestational diabetes. I am 30 weeks, 1 day pregnant with my first, and am so frustrated. I have had pancreatitis for like 5 years and I always knew that my insulin production was going to fail eventually, but I didn’t think it would be right now. My doctor isn’t sure yet if this is only temporary because of the pregnancy or if it will be permanent after the baby is born. I have to go and meet with the diabetic obstetrics counselor (as soon as I can get an appointment), and hopefully won’t be on insulin. I’m okay about the finger sticks, and that stuff, and the diet that they want me to be on is basically what I eat anyway, they just want me to eat alot more. This is hard for me because I really don’t like eating, I never really did. (No, I don’t have any kind of eating disorder, I’m chubby, lol, I just forget to eat and it’s a hassle) I don’t eat alot of sweet stuff anyway, so that’s not really a problem. What really upsets me is the possibility that I may be induced. I don’t want to be induced. I want to have him as naturally as possible, go into labor on my own, no drugs, no epidural etc. (Please don’t bash, this is my choice, not what I would cram down anyone else’s throat, I feel miserable enough as it is without anyone getting upset with me for my birth choices…to each her own) I really wanted this to be natural. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not going to risk the baby’s health by being stubborn. I have to have a long sitdown with our Ob and see what our choices are, I really don’t want it to come down to my stubborness resulting in an emergency c-section because the baby is too big for me to deliver and starts to have distress. I wouldn’t do that, he comes first. I guess I’m just upset and scared and well, everything right now, and needed some virtual hugs. My poor husband is scared for me now too, and I hate to stress him out. He tries so hard to hide his stress, such a sweet man I married. And my birthday is tommorrow, I always get bad news around my birthday, so I have decided that next year I am skipping it altogether. 🙂 I’m sorry if this sounded whiney, I’m just really stressed right now. Thanks for listening
Lol, My husband has every single one of the Star Trek ornaments from Hallmark, EXCEPT the original 1991 ornament…which I can’t find for less than 180 bucks…I hunt constantly for it though, our tree has alot of trek on it. We also have the Frosty Friends ones, that’s our annual “couple” ornament. I have gotten my dad the entire Fire Truck line since it came out too. I also have alot of the Charming Tails (not hallmark) ornaments, those are harder to find.
