Ewww! It seems like everyone is sick right now.

I hope you feel better soon! No fun having a baby while sick.

Oh no! I hope you feel better, SOON!

Thanks ladies. I just need to be able to BREATHE. AHHHH!

Today is my dd Lillian's birthday. She is 4 today. sniff sniff.

Happy birthday to your little girl! Hopefully you'll be able to breathe soon enough

I hope you feel better soon!

Awww, happy belated 4th birthday! 4 is such a great age IMO.

Hope you are doing well today.

I hope you are feeling better. I get frustrated with people who won't help, also! Glad you got to go, though, and it was helping with the swelling! Hope the weather settles down.

Well I actually felt worse today. I have slept/rested a lot today. But since I am here alone with the kids that probably isn't a good idea. Luckily they haven't killed themselves or each other yet. I know they are bored crazy right now though. They wanted to go to the park, which sounds really nice actually, but I know I don't have the stamina to chase them around. Hopefully tomorrow.

Here is a new belly pic from me. 38w


I allowed a cervical check yesterday. Mostly for my own curiosity. Cervix was partially open, but he couldn't get a finger through. But it was soft. Soft is good, so it is doing something. I will say that it was the most comfortable vaginal exam I have every had. This doc is very gentle. I probably will decline one next week. Of course I am hoping I don't even make it until next week. LOL

So I have a strange question. I should maybe pose this outside my lodge, but here goes. My blood sugar levels have been LOW. Fasting numbers in the 60's. 2 hour after eating numbers in the 90's. I ate a piece of my dd's cake for her birthday (not a small piece and had milk) and did a check 2 hours after an the number was 134 (they say under 120, but that anything under 135 is fine). I wonder if I am not eating enough carbs. They haven't checked my ketone levels at all. Heck this new doc didn't even bother to ask me for my log on Monday. I think my blood pressure is more of a concern than anything. It was 135/84, so much much better. I think I have finally adjusted to the dosage change. It really knocked me out in the beginning.

Oh I need to add something. So if I had stayed with either of my last ob's I would have my baby by now (most likely). I hit the magic 38 week mark and ironically nothing happened.
