On The Road To Baby Time

A couple days ago we went off to the hospital for our monthly checkup. The doctor was so impressed with Amanda's blood glucose scores. I think she almost was about to say that it seemed like the diagnosis was incorrect (as I still think) but she didn't. That's ok though, I'll get over it. I know I've said this before but being diagnosed with gestational diabetes isn't too bad of a thing. I have already lost about 15 lbs using our low carb low sugar diet. My beer/food/sitting around/sympathy pregnancy belly is shrinking daily!

We also are now on what was supposed to be 2 week doctor visit intervals, however due to their having no openings it'll be 3 weeks. That's how you know you're getting close to baby time.

A Test's Results and A Baby Registry

Tonight's episode is very short. You don't know that yet because you just started reading. This is why I'm telling you, so you're not too surprised when you get to the end and it had only just begun.

So Amanda got her test results back and it appears that she does have the gestational diabetes. We should have studied harder. But, we'll make it through ok. Just a little change in diet and there should be no problems. It's not all that un-common. I think one place I was reading said something like 7% of ladies get it. So 7% of all ladies who have children is a pretty big number and if real bad things happened you'd probably hear about it. I haven't. I didn't even ever know there was such a thing until these tests. You learn something new everyday.

Amanda is going to the hospital to take a class on how to deal with it, like what to eat and whatever else. I'm gonna go with her so I'll know as well. With our powers combined we'll defeat the evils of high blood glucose levels during pregnancy.

And that's it for tonight. Oh wait, one more thing. We have updated our baby registry at Babies "R" Us if any of you are interested. I know how you all have piles and piles of cash just sitting around with nothing to spend it on because of you lack of confidence in the economy, so I'm offering up this opportunity to you. You can be confident that any purchase you make will be put to good use by us and little Eliza*. In lieu of purchasing something from the registry you can also just send the cash straight to us. Unmarked and random serial numbers please. LoL.

Well, it ended up longer than I thought it would be. I sat down here at 11:25 PM expecting to just type a paragraph and that's that. I do go on and on sometimes. Ok then, I'll type at you later. Don't forget to Like SAHB on Facebook and I hope that you find that sock you've been missing.
