Haha you all are going to be sick of hearing me go on about cake if I don't aren't you I may have to have a look for a small bun or something today while I'm out! Eeeeek excitement. Lol.

My OH hasn't snored in ages either but last night and the night before he was like a bear! I may put him back on the cigarettes haha.

Would paracetamol help your hips any? Xxx

 

[sethsmummy]

hehe no dont worry hun.. i think id be the same if i couldnt have cake! I dont get it often but it would make it worse if i knew i couldnt have it lol.

ooo yeah a little cake like a chocolate eclair or a cream bun!

nope paracetamol wont touch it hun, I used to be on dihydrocodeine 4 times a day to cope with it before i got pregnant with Seth. When i went to the doctors for the first time up here they wouldn't prescribe it again because they have none of my notes. I just dont bother with pain killers anymore no point filling myself with something that i know wont work. xx

Well bugger, I failed the GTT and therefore have gestational diabetes. Have to go to the clinic at 1pm to see the midwife. Bit gloomy at the bad timing

I am freaking exhausted! My LO has been coughing and not feeling that great for a few days (yay sick again this christmas -__-) He was up at 2,3,4,5 and at 5 did not stop nursing till 6:30 at which point id not been asleep for an hour and a half and just said I'M UP! I won't get a nap either because my 4 year old refuses to take one.. UGHGGHGHGHGH

 

[USAF_WIFE]

Also felt like since I posted it in second tri and bump showing has been happening I will show ya'll mine.

 

[sethsmummy]

ooo no hun sorry your lil guy isnt feeling well! It sucks when they are ill especially when they are little. I remember those nights oh too well with Seth as he got ill a lot and would constantly throw up every time he had a coughing fit.

Here is hoping he is feeling a little better tonight! have you tried him with a little cough medicine or is he too young for it? benelyn for children used to work wonders for seth.

And lovely bumpy! I love all our bumps

 

[USAF_WIFE]

Thanks He is 19 months all I have is stuff that says do not give to a child under 4. I gotta get something tonight I suppose.

 

[sethsmummy]

I would hun im sure its Benelyn i get for Seth its apple flavoured. It seems to really help.. doesn't last for a heck of a long time but its great for a few hours which gives them a rest. xx

Me too! Rubbish isn't it Ahhh actually it's not that bad, we'll be ok! Let me know if you need any advice, I've managed to keep my numbers in check with diet so far. All I can say is REDUCE YOUR CARBS. Don't listen to your dietician if he/she is like mine and clearly didn't have a clue (tod me to eat scones instead if bread, and that nuts contained animal fat lol). . . Research this for yourself, because every other country agrees that carbs = glucose, so don't base your meals around them.

How was everyone's day? I've been out shopping all day, think I was walking like John Wayne by the time I came home lol. Shopping at this time of the year is mental!

OH treated me to Nandos as I've not been out at all for Christmas and he's been out 3 times without me so far lol. I had chicken with mash and peas. Glad I was out walking after cuz in an hour my levels were 7 - my highest lunch yet! But then my first lot of spuds since I was diagnosed GD. It's been a nice day!

Seths Hun how are your hips? I didn't realise it was an ongoing problem for you. Pregnancy must be such a strain!! Xx

I've got one of those blood sugar monitor thingies and a food diary The Midwife was really good, really helpful and friendly. My numbers were .2 over what they like so hopefully watching my diet will be able to sort it

 

[Miwi]

That's great krafty!! When do you have to test your sugars? I failed mine by .9 and I've been fine with diet so I'm sure you'll do great!! Xo

 

[kraftykoala]

4 times a day, before breakfast, then two hours after each meal. Doing my first one in an hour, had sausage casserole for tea with less potatoes than usual so I'll be interested to see what my results is

Ah that's interesting! It's strange how all hospitals seem to do it differently. I have to test before each meal, and an hour after each meal and then before bed . . . I look like a pin cushion lol. Do you mind me asking what your levels have to be after your meal? I'm just curious as to what the difference is!!

 

[kraftykoala]

Less than 5.5 before brekkie and less than 7.0 2 hours after food

 

[Miwi]

Less than 5.5 before brekkie and less than 7.0 2 hours after food

Thanks. I'm nosy lol. I've to be between 3.5 -5.5 before every meal and then less than 8 an hour after each meal! It's definately very interesting!

 

[sethsmummy]

wooo thats good levels again miwi It's funny how you guys have to do things different being with different hospitals.

My hips are ok just now It's more when i get into bed or do a lot of walking that they get really bad. Yeah iv had the problem since i was in my teens... its called Lax joints or something.. i only saw specialist once.. he had the cheek to sit there and tell me its because im fat when seth was sat beside me only 4 months old! And didnt listen when i said it all started when i was a lot slimmer... i was a damn size 14/16!! at my lowest i was almost a 12 and i still had the problem.

I am glad you had a good day though hun.

Cottleston.. how has your night/day been hun? I hope dh is treating you better today xx

 

[Miwi]

Oh seths that's a drs excuse for anything. They must see us coming and think 'thank goodness I can play the weight card' lol. I had the same when I had loads of problems with me knee.

Cocktail sausages are the perfect GD food lol. I am in love with them . . . Shame they're not healthy :/ Ugh so tired! Waiting for my friend to drop round some avon stuff for me and then I'm off to bed
