I offered to take over the check in and tagged my June ladies to come join us over here!

Congrats rslh10 on your beautiful Alden!
dukegirlsc, hope your induction went well and everything is good with your babies!

AFM, I'm 27w3d and joining 3rd tri even though I may be a few days early. Can't believe I'm here!

QOTW: I need to find a dress for my shower so I ordered a bunch from Amazon Prime, hopefully something works. We also want to start assembling the crib and dresser next weekend.

I can't believe officially by all counts we are 3rd tri! 28 weeks today! The countdown isn't officially on, especially since we haven't done much except buy things! Only 3 weeks and we close on our house, then the race is on!!!

We have our 28 week appointment on Wednesday and will have the GD test.

]QOTW-I also need to find shower dresses (we are having two). We also need to settle on a contractor to do painting and home improvement projects on the new house since we will be crunched for time. Lastly I need to start getting my case notes at work caught up so I can transfer my cases in a few weeks!

[teachermomtobe]

jennykat, yes I'll model the dresses if they even somewhat fit! Hope you have a good (and possibly baby-full) week!
cateyes, you reminded me I'm having 2 showers too. The second is very small and one my mom insisted on having so I kind of forgot about it. I may wear the same dress for both.

I'm 29 weeks exactly today. I really can't believe I'm in my 3rd trimester. My wedding rings are starting to get a bit snug. The kick counts are making me anxious, but everyday I do it she passes. I'm struggling with testing my blood sugar so many times per day. My fingertips and the sides of my fingers are bruised. This GD diagnosis has me so paranoid. My numbers have not be high at all this week.

QOTW: I have so much to do before spring break. I am on a hiring committee and I need to score 120 applications and I need to start evaluating my new part timers. Ugh so much to do.

teachermomtobe,Can I be added in to this check in?

I'm 29 weeks and 6 days. Lots of doctors appointments this week. I have the OB today. My NST and BPP appointments tomorrow and Wednesday appointment with the high risk doctor. I feel like I live at the hospital! lol I hope no other appointments get thrown in this week. I've been doing pretty well with my GD. It's still is no fun but I'm doing pretty well with controlling my numbers. I will probably never eat eggs, cheese or peanut butter again after this! lol

QOTW- Mostly to get through all these doctors appointments and work. Also someone hit my car on Sunday so I have to take it for an assessment on Saturday morning. I'm hoping the rest of the weekend we can finish up on the nursery. We have a lot done so far and I'm loving how it's all coming together!

[ttcbabyj]

airbear916 I feel you with the doctor's appointments. My HMO only cares about my baby, I've never received this much attention before...lol. I have two appointments this week. And then next week I will basically be at the doctor's office for about 6 hours. I have two appointments in the morning and my GD class in the afternoon. And yes after these 11 weeks eggs are dead to me.

[airbear916]

ttcbabyj, I'm sitting here eating my lunch. Guess what it is??? Eggs! LOL
I joined a facebook group for GD and have gotten some good food suggestions there. Not sure if you're on FB but it might be helpful to you. Also, I really miss bread but I've found that if I eat sprouted grain bread (only 1 slice at a time) my sugars are good. I also found some good pancake mix and crackers that are also sprouted grain. If you want to know some brands that have worked for me, let me know! If you have any good food suggestions for me, send them my way!
