Thank you ladies. We are over the moon! It's really making it real now. I was quite guarded as I knew pregnancy would be very difficult for me so I was very much afraid of not making it to this point. In fact, I had been told I probably would have a difficult time conceiving at all! LOL.
As for the GD, I'm not surprised at all but I am very frustrated. I was at very high risk to begin with because my entire family has it and I am overweight. Add to that that I have a serious glitch with my nervous system that means that all my autonomic functions (sugar, temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, etc.) are screwed up and it was pretty much a given. Because I have so many bouts of hypoglycemia, I've been on a proper glucose diet for a few years now and am already used to monitoring it so I was really hoping that would be enough to avoid it, especially this early on. I'm really not sure how much more I can do diet wise, so that is the part that worries me as I am terrified of taking insulin if I already have so many hypoglycemic episodes. It's just crazy
I have my appointments at the hospital for it tomorrow though so, hopefully, I'll have a better idea of where to go from here. Meanwhile, I am ever so grateful to have the healthcare here. My medical team has been absolutely superb and that is a lot for someone terrified of doctors
To be honest though, as much as I absolutely looove feeling my lil one moving about, I cannot wait until he is here in my arms safe and sound!
I bet that is a common sentiment too though!
As for Facebook, I've been very lucky so far. I made it clear from the start that I would pick and choose the updates to give and that I didn't want to hear everyone's opinions. I told them that this was something for my OH and I to go through together while sharing the fun bits with the rest. Hehehe. So far, people have been amazingly understanding. However, I have given them very little info. We are keeping the sex, name, and most of the medical aspects quiet. That helps to keep people off our case.
I did everything I could to avoid it, was eating well, etc. In fact, 2 weeks ago, I couldn't get my sugar to stay in the normal range as it kept going too low! Argh! 
That sandwich is making me soooo hungry but I have to stay away from bread at the moment. 
I tried to email her but it's not going through so I will have to contact her on Wednesday then. This week, I have to sort out 2 rooms upstairs as we are having a company rep stop by to measure for the extension we want to put in. That is feeling a little overwhelming at the moment. It doesn't help that my puppy has been running after me with sad, sad 'Mommy help me' eyes... He's feeling poorly today. I only have until Wednesday though so I think I will put him in his basket with a warm bag on his belly and take him upstairs while I work. I should hear back from my neurologist on Thursday to find out what (if anything) can be done for my migraines. Hopefully, they will have decided against the MRI. Friday, we have another ultrasound and appointment with my OB/GYN. Hopefully, baby will be measuring right on target again. Then, for the weekend, the plan is to work on the garden and get it all clean and planted for the spring and summer.
