All this is going to be is a big fat whine from a cranky pregnant girl....you have been warned.


I am sooooooooo frustrated! With LA, I developed gestational hypertension. It was controlled with meds.

This time, it is gestational diabetes.

Are you kidding me???

Apparently my body has "issues" with being pregnant. Ugh...is it too muc to ask for a "normal" pregnancy? Now I get to go to a four hour class and prick my finger 4+ times a day---and have a special diet. Just pray that I can control this with diet.

The nurse, ah naive little lady, told me not to worry, that she would find out what medical supply company takes my insurance and coordinate that. I told her not to waste her time and gave her the name, number and case worker we already have at our local DME. She was surprised I knew it. Ummm, they come to our house twice a month to bring LA's supplies. Yes, I have that info and can even tell you the name of the driver who typically comes.

I know it could be much worse and I am being a big brat for bitching about this, but aaaarrrrggghhhhhh!!

12 more weeks (hopefully).

Ugh- they're taking away your "eat a doughnut for lunch if you want to" card? What else is pregnancy good for!?!

I'm so sorry, that's not happy news. Hard to believe that you're so close, though- that's just a few months! How is LA doing? Gabe was still so little, I'm not sure he ever really "got it" until after Gwen got here and didn't leave. I think it would've been a very different experience, had he been even a few months older. He definitely didn't do poorly with the adjustment, I just think he might've been less shell-shocked.

That is frustrating! I hope it's easy to manage for you. And wow -- 12 more weeks! That part is pretty exciting!

I'm sorry praying for a healthy 12 weeks for you under the circumstances!!

That sucks Justinlove! Pregnancy blows.

Oh yikes, hopefully the next couple of months pass quickly and you and the little one emerge on the other end perfectly healthy!

[chuicafina]

Awww, that sucks!! I'm sorry :-( Hope the next 12 weeks fly by!

[justinlove]

Thanks y'all. I really do know it could be soooooo much worse, and I appreciate the sympathetic ears. Pity party over....at least for today

[jlandjl]

So sorry to hear. But....you'll have a little precious bundle in your arms soon. That's so worth the struggles now, isn't it?
