I'm on injectable insulin!

I'm so upset, I can't even type about it right now. :(

Oh - and I've lost another pound!

Here come the meds!!

I've done everything I could to manage my GD on my own through diet. However, anytime I eat my 45-60g of carbs in a meal, my numbers jump. I am meeting with a high risk OB nurse practioner on Friday to discuss medication options. So sad, but its whats best for baby! I'll post an update then.

My numbers are just awful!

Fasting and after dinner... its been super disapointing. I am calling my dietician tomorrow... I have a feeling medication may be around the corner. Watch for updates tomorrow. :(

Fasting = 95

Yikes! Let's hope tomorrow is better!

That is all.

Yum!

Tonights dinner was a huge success - 95! A medium antipasto salad, 3 Meatballs covered in mushrooms, green peppers, and cheese - oh and 1/2 piece of garlic bread. It all came from my favorite restaurant. Woo hoo!

My mom also bought me a huge Sam's Club veggie tray, so I've been snacking on that nonstop since veggies are free! Sooo good but I can't wait to eat fruit again, and I seriously miss my OJ!

Hopefully my fasting numbers will stay low!

3lbs 9oz!!

We got some great news today - even though GD babies tend to be large, baby Tori is actually measuring a little small! She is only 3lbs 9oz and in the 44th percentile. Phew! I was so worried that I'd be pushing out a 9 pounder, but the doctor assured me that at this rate, she'd probably be around 7lbs (maybe a little bit bigger). We go for another growth scan at 34wks!

In other news, I followed up with my dietician. I have had mostly good and but some bad meals. Its been trial and error. Though I've lost a few pounds, ok 7, so she asked me to up my carbs to see how I do. Also my fasting numbers are right at 89, so we are hoping they don't start turning into 91s, and 92s - because that means medication!

I guess only time will tell - but I am willing to do whats best for baby!

Sugar Free does not equal Low Carb

I was at Walgreens on Friday, and saw SugarFree York Peppermint Patties. So I bought them... and consumed probably 1/2 the bag in the car. Today, I turned the bag over... and to my horror there are 28g of carbs in each one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This poor child. What did I do on Friday? OMG I am surprised I didn't go into some sort of carb overdose.
I need to read labels better - lesson learned. MaxOrTori FAIL!
