Waiting on my Snack
While I'm waiting on my snack I figured I would post a quick update. I just had my blood sugar checked and it was 102- after dinner, which is great! Crossing my fingers this continues. I told Zed as soon as I have Wendy and we leave the hospital, we are finding a Cold Stone Creamery. I deserve a damn coffee lovers ice cream!

Higher Dose of Glyburide
Well ever since I started taking medicine for the gestational diabetes my blood sugar has been even higher. It really blows my mind that the day they checked my blood sugar and I was eating a normal diet, my blood sugar was under 120 after every meal- even though I had orange juice for breakfast and sweet tea and cherry cobbler for lunch. Now that I'm on this restricted diet it has gotten worse.. and it continuing to get worse with the Glyburide. One thing I am looking forward to after this pregnancy, chocolate and coke! And hopefully no more diabetes.

PPROM and POLY
I just had my ultrasound for today. I still have too much amniotic fluid- last week it was 28 and this week it was 27. My cervix is still closed and long (30). The last time they checked my cervix it was 39. So far, everything is still looking good. I'm eagerly awaiting 35 weeks... I'm ready for Miss Wendy to be here (just not too soon because we want her as healthy as possible).
As for me, they started me on oral insulin twice a day and my blood sugar has been great since then. I'm getting tired of not eating sweets though! I love me some chocolate!
