Im officially on leave!!! I had my last day of work on Thursday - was quite surreal to be honest, just like any other day, nothing special. Probably because I go back in a weeks time for my work baby shower on what would have been my last week of work. I think it will be this week that it hits me that im done and not going back. Eek!!!
So this week I have a bit planned. A few catch-ups lunches with friends, I start my preggie swimming, and of course my appointments - today with our midwife and then on Thursday we have a growth scan and then meet the obstitrician and physician. Im also excited that today im going to start washing bubs clothes, can't wait to see them hanging up drying - so cute!!! Other than that I plan to rest up a bit :)
One of the downside of pregnancy has decided to hit me in the arse, literally. Hemorrhoids!!! Argh, talk about painful!!! It really is unpleasant :( Have got myself some cream so here's hoping that takes effect soon, I can't imagine lasting the rest of the pregnancy with this issue.
From the gestational diabetes side of things.... hmm, this is not easy. Im getting anywhere from 1-3 high readings a day. Some of the time I can explain it, others I think im doing all the right things yet I still get a high reading so am baffelled. They have had to increase my metformin twice already. Soon I will run out of options with this and will have no choice but to go onto insulin. It really is a time consuming issue - im constantly thinking of food, timing of that food, and blood sugar levels. Im even more glad that im off work now so that I can focus on this more. I really am trying, afterall I want the best outcome for both me and bubs. And while its not for too much longer, it sure is hard and gets me down. Just gotta keep my eye on the prize!!!
