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 :)

Shelby, you are awesome. Super mom and super worker. It will all work out. Tell Sonya to come and save you. IT's always hard during pregnancy. The marks of motherhood are so apparent, but they're worth it.
i am sending you tons of good vibes, shelby! i hope you can have that baby in early april :)
