I had a visit with my doc this week.
The condensed version of the visit:
I don’t have gestational diabetes (yay) but I do have something called impaired glucose or glucose impaired. Basically I am borederline close to having GD. I have to monitor my food and see a dietitian, which is near impossible right now due to her schedule but I have been trying really hard to be careful.
My BP is up a little high again. Eff.
When I told him I have been doing the job of 2 people for over a month now he was not happy. He said “Do they know you have twins????” So he said “I don’t want you working past 32 weeks!” SOLD!!!! He said he would write me off sick then. At first I felt guilty about it but then I thought, you know what? Fuck that! I have given EVERYTHING to that job and now it’s my turn. I will have some significant time off before the babies come and I can be organized and rest and take time off for ME. I deserve that, my body has been put through hell over the last while. So that means: 3 weeks left of work!!
Normally my visit with him would be increasing now but he is off on a vacation so I am to see him again in 3 weeks and if there are any problems or concerns or ANYTHING I have been instructed to call right away.
I can’t believe how quickly and also how slowly everything is coming. Scary and exciting.
Today we are doing my maternity pics with my SIL. She is a photographer as a hobby and does some beautiful stuff. She did our family pictures in the fall of 2010 and I love them
