g.d. update

i haven't been blogging much, because i haven't really been doing much. just teaching, trying to organize the new school teaching schedule (have included half hour breastfeeding breaks for after baby mothra arrives), & get the baby stuff in order. weekends have mainly been filled with chores or movie watching. i had a midwife appt last thursday, and she gave me the go-ahead to just check the blood sugar once a day, at varying times. she also said i could be a little more lenient with the diet. i'm measuring normally, so the little monster isn't getting too big. a friend tipped me off this week about a diabetic bakery in town, and i immediately checked it out. they had huge napoleons that had 4 carbs, and cream puffs that had 11 carbs, so i picked up a few to try. so far they haven't affected the blood sugar levels, so i guess they're ok to eat. they're really good, although a little cream heavy, and will help get me through the end of the pregnancy. 5-7 weeks to go. he's due oct 18, but i bet he'll come on nov 1, just to make me as uncomfortable as possible...
