I had my last monthly doctors appointment today. It was mixed news. The good news is that I have a sinus infection, I know that doesn't sound like good news, but the alternative is a horrible cold that can't be treated, or some pregnant women have allergies that seem like a horrible cold all 9 months. So, she got me an antibiotic, which I was able to get filled, because my insurance finally kicked in! YAY! It was getting to the point where I'd get a bill from the hospital every single day! So, my sinus infection is on it's way out, the medicine kills my stomach, but I'll put up with that for four days rather than deal with whatever it is climbed into my nose and built a nest for the rest of eternity!
Now the bad news, I had my glucose test on Monday, and I'm borderline for Gestational Diabetes. She said she likes to keep it under 140 and I'm at 135. I know it's totally my own fault, I've had a serious sweet tooth for the past 7 months! So now I have to watch my carbs and sugars. I've started doing yoga again, and it has helped with back pain, and I sleep better. I've also decided to try to take Marley for walks everyday (weather permitting). I'm not doing the epidural thing this time, (since it didn't work with Marley) so I really don't want a big baby! Also, my wonderful mother-in-law sent the nursery stuff today, so as soon as I get it put together I will post some pics. It's all safari animals and khaki green and brown, it's so cute!
