GD Check in 6/16

[ladysif]

Hi Ladies! Crazy day so I apologize for being so late on this.

CONGRATULATIONS to all our new moms this week! I am on my phone so it will take me forever to add everyone but please feel free to show off your cutie and brag about the deliciousness you are now able to eat!

Inside baby mamas, how goes it? Numbers holding steady?

Rants/raves/randoms?

Do you have plans for the 4th of July? We should all be able to indulge in eating at least!

Numbers are good. I have been so lazy about testing, or maybe too busy but I know certain meals are fine so I am not as hardcore as I was about checking. I have two days until due date, I don't think it matters that much! Fastings are fine.

R/R/R: I am loving seeing so many of your new babies not be buffalo-sized, it actually makes me feel better even though I know there is zero correlation between my baby and anyone else's. I don't think anyone has had what I would consider a huge baby. (Hoping to not be the first!)

Just have to make it through tomorrow and find out if baby flipped breech again or not. I just have no clue how he is positioned right now. If he is vertex I will be thrilled, even if I end up induced next week. If not I will deal but be disappointed. I am just hoping she wouldn't want to do a section right away tomorrow if he is breech; his cousin's birthday is tomorrow and it will really bother me if they have the same birthday. I know that is really shallow, obviously I would do whatever is necessary for his safety, but I want him to have his own day darn it all! Watch, now he will come of his own volition tomorrow.

ETA: Forgot my own 4th of July question. Staying put but our neighborhood has a kid parade that I'm really excited for DS1 to participate in. I think he'll have a blast!

I had a hospital brownie (gross) and a cookie and a piece of cake. So. Yeah. Life without a placenta dictating your choices is such a relief.

Numbers are... good? The midwife finally showed concern over my low post-prandials (52 was the lowest.) I had ONE high number (92 fasting) after a bunch of dates and forgetting my middle of the night snack. I don't care anymore

This heat. It is oppressive. I just want popsicles. (Actually, I really want a pitcher of margarita, but that wouldn't be happening now even without GD.) Was having lots of prodromal labor, but I'm now too comfortable down low for my mental comfort. At least little miss is moving.

4th of July plans... No idea. If the heat breaks, we may go out to watch fireworks. We may get some things to set off in the yard.

ladymouse glad the prodromal has stopped for you because that sounded awful, but sorry nothing has happened! Maybe your body is just giving you a chance to rest up more comfortably now before the grand finale. Hope it is soon for you! I'll join you on the post-delivery margarita.
