Gestational diabetes!

Turns out I do have gestational diabetes:(
I get my glucose meter and test strips Tuesday from my OB. I was so hoping I didn't have this... But I read when pregnant with twins it's common. I just have to watch my carbs she said. I also have to see a dietitian. I know I'm over weight which is also a risk factor for gestational diabetes. I don't know much about it but I think it can either go away after pregnancy or stay with you... I'll have to read up about it to get more information.
On the plus side, my baby shower is this Saturday and I'm so excited :) I got my daughter a "I'm the BIG sister" pin to wear on her dress, she's so happy. I can't wait to pack the babies, mine and boyfriends hospital bags! I'm so excited for these girls I just can't wait any longer. My OB said she would induce me at 40 weeks (if I make it that far). Which I'm kind of hoping I don't. This pressure in my crotch is killing me!!!! And when I walk it literally feels like the babies are faking out. I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore lol. I feel so blessed in so many ways, but the aches, pains and discomforts are crazy!!!
A couple things that are bothering me lately... Because we are having twins, and were the first in both our families to have twins, people have been around more now than they were before. I mean I guess it's okay but I feel like it's rude because they didn't come around before, so why now? They don't come see my almost 5 year old daughter but I bet they'll want to be here all the time once the babies are born. I don't know if this is rude or not but I'm not going to allow that to happen... I'm worried people will pay more attention to the babies and leave my 5 year old to the side. Which is so unfair... I know I'll definitely be busy with the babies but I will 100% always make time for my daughter. My mom has said she will be here to help me, which isn't unusual because me and my mom are really close and she's at my house all the time now or were at her house. I'm worried that people will get offended if I say I don't want company when they call or something... I don't want to upset my family members but we're going to be going through some big changes this summer and we'll also need time as a family to get routines down.
Just like at the hospital when I go into labour, I'd rather not have EVERYONE there. They can come after... And not stay the WHOLE day or forever either. I don't mind if people come and go but I don't want them there all day... Especially because the hospital were delivering at doesn't have visiting hours (which is weird). I don't know if this is me just being picky but I hope people respect it :(

It's not SO awful, the whole only being allowed 16 carbs for breakfast is a pain for me, but i can deal with everything else. I just couldn't get my fasting number down low enough and now I'm on insulin shots once a day. Pfffft..... You'll get through it! |
