29 weeks...

This week wasn't so good.  My Endo wasn't happy with my blood sugars.  Neither was my OB.  I received a call from the MFM group to make an appointment to review my blood sugars and prescribe insulin which I'm already on.  I use a pump.  My OB wanted them to take over management of my diabetes but they don't manage pumps.  I went in the next day to the MFM and they did an exam and everything was measuring perfect.  My weight, the babies size, etc.  All is good.  The MFM said he would call my Endo to discuss.  I felt so lectured and yelled at.  So did J.  He promised not to push any more of his delicious desserts on me till our little one is born.  We have an appointment next week with my OB.  I'm not looking forward to it.

On another note, we picked up the crib, mattress, dresser and travel system.   My family purchased the travel system for us.  The crib, mattress and dresser was purchased using the money from the gift card from my co-workers.  I need to start working on those thank you cards tonight and get them done for Monday.  I'm also making a lot of progress in cleaning up the bedrooms.  It's going slow but I'm hoping by Thanksgiving we have the rooms all finished.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Rash has gone away on my my breasts
• Tired and out of breath.  Still finding it hard to walk at lunch at my usual pace
• Finding it harder to move freely and tie my shoelaces
• Belly popping out 
• Very full belly and very tight sometimes.  Could be Braxton Hicks.
• Baby kicks and movement
• Sleeping issues
• Blood sugars have been high but now I'm being more careful with my food choices

This week has been uneventful.  Just trying to do some planning. My co-workers have pressured me into doing a registry so that's done.  Babies need so much.  My sister and Mom are buying us a travel system.  I was initially upset because they weren't taking into account what we wanted but we went to see what they are going to purchase and J and I are both happy with it.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts still hurt
• Tired
• Starting to really look pregnant
• Sciatica pain
• Still feeling cramps and back aches on and off.  Stomach is feeling taut sometimes.  
• I'm starting to feel the baby move.  I know when she's kicking my bladder and sometimes I feel something like a gas bubble in my belly but it goes away
