Carb Queen No Longer!

Thats right, those that know me know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Carbs! In fact I just bought a shirt with a noodle and a block of cheese on it that states "Soul Mates" that's how much I love carbs. I love Mac and Cheese, I love Spaghetti, I LOVE LOVE Bread! and anything carbs. Especially bagels and Juice too.

So I heard back from the Midwife today after calling them and didn't get news that I wanted to hear.

Here were my results:
Fasting #: 84
1 Hour #: 167
2 Hour #: 171
3 Hour #: 164

You are supposed to be under 180 after the first hour, which I was, but then after the 2nd hour you are supposed to be under  155 (which obviously I wasn't) and then after the 3 hour I am supposed to be below 140, which it wasn't.

So I will be now pricking my finger (or arm depending on the monitor) for the next 11 or so weeks and trying to control my blood sugar by diet. So having to cut back on a lot of what I love and will just have to find new foods that I like :)

I am waiting to hear from the Dietitian, but I have to figure out if she is covered by insurance, if she isn't I will have to meet with someone knew. The receptionist said that sometimes you can see the OB's and MW's and deliver through Ridgeview, but not a dietitian, so not sure what's up with that, so hopefully she is covered.

I am 5 Weeks!

I can't believe that I am about 5 weeks pregnant right now. It's crazy to even think that I am pregnant, but it's real. My body is telling me it's real. Wednesday while in a meeting at work, a woman was sitting next to me and started eating a yogurt. I almost had to get up and leave the meeting because the smell of the yogurt was awful. I apparently can't be around it at all. Mike had some chicken the other night and the container that he had heated it in was sitting next to me and I made him move it to upstairs, because the smell wasn't bad, but I just kept smelling it.

So luckily I haven't had morning sickness, but from what I have been reading that might not start until 6 weeks, so we will see what happens the next week. Cross your fingers that I don't get morning sickness :) 

I am getting super excited for my appointment on the 11th of January. I really can't wait to get an UltraSound. Hopefully they will do one at the appointment. I just can't wait until I get to that point and we can start telling people.

Mike and I were at a family event last night and my Aunt thought she had figured it out why I wasn't drinking. I told her no I wasn't pregnant. and then at the end of the night when the rest of the family was gone we told her, my uncle and my cousins. Swore them to secrecy. I hate holding it in. But Mike really wants to wait until we are 12 or so weeks, and I am going to try to compromise with him and wait until after our appointment, which will be at about 9 1/2 weeks or so. That way it's not as early as I want. Hopefully Christmas won't be too bad. I think now that my Aunt knows, it will help because she was really the only one that noticed and that was only because I was trying to stay away from Diet soda, caffeine and wine :) Otherwise I think it will be fine....I want to tell them all at Christmas, but I am trying to respect Mike's decision not to tell people, because it's his baby too.

No Craving for Ice Cream

Usually every night Mike and I sit down with a bowl of ice cream, or an ice cream bar of some sort. Except in the past week I have not really had a craving for Ice Cream. It doesn't sound good, it doesn't sound appetizing or anything. Sweets in general haven't been too appetizing. so we will see. Maybe peanut doesn't want sweet stuff....maybe that's why the yogurt doesn't taste well either.

Peanut doesn't like Yogurt

I found out this week that little peanut doesn't like yogurt. Specifically Red Raspberry & Orange Sherbet flavors....I start to eat them and a few bites into the yogurt and I can't finish...so I am going to be staying away from yogurt.

Other than having to go the bathroom a lot, some headaches and some nausea it hasn't been too bad so far :)

We told our parents this past week. Both parents are very excited! My mom squealed when she found out. We are also very excited. We are trying to think positive and while it's still really early we aren't thinking anything negative is going to happen. This little bean is going to stick.


Positive Thinking!!
