Doctors Appointments Round One

Today was a day for first and lasts. It was my last appointment with Dr. Whitesides which makes me really sad. I have to go to the real OB now and it sucks having to switch so close to the end. Oh well. That being said- my appointment went well. He didn't say anything about my weight or measurements which for him means there is no concern. I think I've only gained 2 pounds since my last appointment which is right on point for this time. The only bad thing was the baby was hiding from the Dr so it was hard to feel her positioning. Found her heartbeat without a problem just not her location (breech or not) but Dr. Whitesides still isn't worried about that yet so no biggie.

After that it was off to the Diabetes Clinic. Nothing out of the ordinary there. I have to test my sugars four times a day (poooooo) and my ketones once a day (this is gross FYI). The dietitian was really nice (though kind of crazy) and gave a lot examples using food I actually eat like Taco Bell as opposed to two steaks daily haha. I check back in a month but otherwise I'm not on a set "you can only eat this not that" diet. I can eat what I want as long as my numbers fall in to the right places. Obviously, I get to eat more the healthier it is.

That about sums up my doctors appointments for today. Tomorrow I go to the hospital for the Bio Physical Profile and then next Wednesday I go to Dr. Senniot (spelling?)
I'm off now to dinner for Gregory's birthday and tonight when I get back I hope to find a yummy dessert for diabetics that I can take to Grandmas because I am so NOT missing out on desserts!
