Gestational Diabetes has struck again...

I went on Monday to do a 3 hour glucose test to see if I, once again, had gestational diabetes.  I got my results today.

First hour blood draw: normal

Second hour blood draw: should be <155 and mine was 180

Third hour blood draw: should be <140 and mine was 142

My glucose levels were elevated on the 2nd and 3rd hours, so I'm starting on a glucose medication as soon as Walmart decides to fill it.  Hopefully it'll be ready tomorrow.  I've got to go see a diabetes education specialist, and I have to go to a high-risk OB doctor for them to monitor Hayden and make sure we're not going to have any issues with macrosomia (or overweight baby).  They'll also be testing him to make sure he's getting enough oxygen.  I can already tell he's going to be a big boy, and I know he's healthy because he almost never stops moving!  The same day that I see the high risk doctor, I'll also see my regular OB.  Luckily, I still have all of my education materials from when I had GD with Emma so I've already started watching my diet even closer than I already was.  I've only gained about 2lbs. so far and I'm 29 weeks along.  So that's a good thing.  

When I was pregnant with Miss Emma, she was very stubborn and wouldn't let us find out whether she was a boy or a girl at any ultrasound my doctor sent me to!  We had to do a 3D/4D at Precious View in Bowling Green just to find out she was a girl!  I was 28w5d, so at that point I was REALLY ready to find out! LOL!!!! My doctor here also offers these ultrasounds and we're planning on doing one with Hayden as well!  I'm dying to know what he looks like and I know Emma will love seeing that!  Thank the Lord for 21st Century technology right?!?!  

This pregnancy hasn't been the easiest and has definitely been hard on me physically.  He's such a big baby that I'm miserable at least 90% of the time.  Plus, the poor thing has no room thanks to me lacking a torso!  lol!!!  I definitely can't deny being concerned about him!!  I just hope and pray that my little man is going to continue to be healthy and keep on cookin' for a few more weeks!  If he's already pretty big, it's looking like my 39 week induction, might be closer to 37 weeks.
