Week 34: Diabetes blues
Mood:  lazy
It's week 34 and baby is around 5 pounds. My next appointment is Thursday so I won't know until then exactly how much he weighs and if my blood tests were ok. After week 35 I'll be a little more relaxed because that's when the baby has an excellent chance of surviving if he decides to come out early. But so far the pregnancy has gone well, thank God, except for the diabetes thing. Today my blood sugar was out of control because I made the stupid mistake of putting a little jelly on my toast this morning. My blood sugar was so high it made me sleepy, then I took my medication, and a couple of hours later my blood sugar plunged really low, and anyone with diabetes knows that when it's too low it's dangerous because you can go into a coma. I was feeling dizzy & faint so I knew something was wrong, then I tested my blood and it WAS low. I immediately drank some fruit juice to bring it back to normal and had something to eat. It's no fun having gestational diabetes. You have to be so careful. They say gestational diabetes usually goes away after you give birth. I hope so.

I just looked out my window and there's a snow storm! When I saw the news this morning they said rain, not snow! Will winter ever end????
