I’m really sad today because we went to our monthly midwife appointment and my glucose levels were a little high. I know how to fix it, I’m not scared about that, it’s just that I’m sad I have to say goodbye to all the deliciousness out there. No more Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, no more occasional sodas, definitely no more cinnamon rolls, no more sweet, delicious vanilla yogurt. It’s grains, veggies, and protein for me. I just got a little too sure of myself. I thought I could have sweet, tasty treats because I was doing so good otherwise. My diet sorta went downhill with the moving. I need to take this thing seriously. It’s up to me how the rest of my pregnancy goes. I’m going to keep a daily food journal. It’s going to be ok, I’m just really sad about it right now. There were also amounts of some hormone (can’t remember what it’s called) your body produces when it’s starting to burn fat stores, so it seems my diet needs a general overhaul. No more simple carbs.
The rest of our monthly midwife appointment went really well. My baby maker is just above my belly button now and there’s a good, strong heartbeat. They reviewed my ultrasounds and everything looks great. I have two fibroids that we are keeping an eye on. My weight gain is right on target and all else is well.
I want to take a ‘me’ day and just calm down about the glucose thing, but work is really busy this week. So I’m just sad at my desk. Sad sad.
