Not So Healthy

It's been a while since my last update. I've had quite a bit going on. Also I am having serious pain in my right hand and especially my fingers and finger tips. The OB nurse made a telephonic diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel, so I see my Orhtopedic tomorrow to see about all that.

Meanwhile I got some bad news Wednesday about my blood work. My blood sugar is elevated and I have to return for a "very important" appointment with the Perinatal Center for high risk pregnancies tomorrow. They are supposed to counsel me about my Gestational Diabetes. This appointment is 2 hours before my appointment with the Orthopedic.

My blood pressure has been quite high.

The confusing thing is, earlier this month when they did the ultrasound, they said that the baby was measuring a little small, about one week behind. Gestational Diabetes causes the baby to grow very large. So I'm nervous about the discrepancy there. Also hoping for another ultrasound tomorrow. I will probably beg for one if it isn't done.

Looks like my diet is going to get changes among other things. I will know more tomorrow (Monday).

I don't want my little Johnny to be big, I want him to be normal and little :)
