Appt #3 – OB

(7 weeks)   Got my labs back. I’m not very pleased. A1c: 7.2 Freakin’ 7.2. True it is an average over the last 3 months, which would include food-heavy holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. But still. I was…

VENT

So far I’m not exactly enjoying this pregnancy. With my first, I really didn’t find it too difficult to control my sugars, especially in the beginning. I had no nausea, no stomach trouble, I wasn’t all that tired, I was motivated,…
