i am doing better- they added another insulin to my routine of shots about 2 weeks ago & it has done a good job of keeping my resting glucose levels where they need to be. i am retaining alot of water (shocker) & the dr has decided NOT to weigh me anymore (as i have gained 10# a week for the past 3 weeks - SUCK!). my belly is HUGE but i am NOT ready to have this baby YET! i have a lot going on with the business right now & need some time to wrap things up.
my actual due date is 4/18 but the dr will induce me before because of my gestational diabetes. dr wanted to schedule me for monday 30th but i have asked if i can hold out until monday 6th. weird for someone to ask not to be induced early ... let me explain: steve goes to st.louis for a show on the 1st. i would literally be dropped off from the hopstial at home & then he would head out of town - leaving me with 4 kids at home all day for 4 days - YIKES. the kids are off track so i know they would help me but i am thinking 4 days of all being at home doesn't sound like something i am ready for after just having a baby & without steve's help.
*EDIT: so, my dr reviewed my situation with the specialist i have been seeing & he suggested since things were looking so good with me & baby that there is no reason to schedule induction at this time - YEAH!! they will just keep close tabs on me & see how it goes. i am determined to be on my best behavior :)
