Diabetic? Me?
UPDATE:
After taking a 3-hour blood glucose test, my doctor confirmed I indeed had gestational diabetes. I was required to attend diabetes class and given a free glucometer. I now test myself 4 times a day to monitor my blood sugar. It is not that bad pricking myself. What is hard is watching what I eat. I am only allowed 1 cup of rice a day! Me? Pinoy, 1 cup of rice a day??!! Aargghhh!!!
ORIGINAL POST:
Yes, I seem to have gestational diabetes, an ailment that is now becoming common among pregnant women. I had to go for the standard 1 hour test a week ago where they make you take a glucose drink and then take your blood sample after an hour.
Monday, I got a call from my doctor informing me that I FLUNKED my test. Arggh! They said I had to go and get a 3 hour blood work done. I pretty much what that meant…that I do have it.
This time, they took a blood sample the minute I got there. Then they made me drink the glucose drink and thereafter took a blood sample after each hour. They drew my blood 4 times!
I know I am going to flunk it again. Why? Well, since I know I already have it, I ate a bowl of ice cream the night before. Hehe! Hey, it’s going to be a good 2 months before I am able to.
Pregnant Hands
At least that’s what my Ob/Gyn calls it. Swollen hands, that is. At first I thought it to be carpel tunnel syndrome but as my doctor explained, it is normal. Not all pregnant women experience it. Most have swollen feet. I have been lucky, so far. Only mild swelling of the feet but it is my hands that are pretty bad specially in my line of work where I type mostly 6 of the 8 hour work day. I can hardly open it when I wake up in the morning. A little price to pay, I think, for a precious gift from God.
Baby @ 20 weeks
These are sonogram pictures taken last 26th of January. The lady asked us to bring a cd to save them in.
You might be a redneck if…
Was eating at the mall and this couple caught our eye. It looked like a perfect scene for a Jeff Foxworthy joke…
It is kind of hard to see… to explain, it is a couple with 2 kids. They do not have a stroller so what they did was to take 2 carts fom Sears and used it to walk around the mall… hey, in tough times, you have to do what you have to do…
A New Year
It’s been almost half a month now since the new year. Kind of late to start but still I have decided to start all over again with blogging. A waste really considering I started in 2004 but here starts a new chapter in my life. The same purpose I had when I started blogging 4 years ago. Unlike before where I was writing about anything under the sun and for whoever reads it, this time I am writing solely to inform friends and family about updates on me.
Hopefully, I can maintain this better than I did the last one.
