[tbonequeen13]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Doing ok...still waiting to hear the results of my lab work..I had hoped they would call Friday, but they didn't, so I'm still kind of on edge waiting to here if I have Type II or not.

How was your weekend? Great...DH, DD, and I hiked 4 miles Sat (DH and I are doing the Great Smokey Mountain's Hike 100 miles challange..we have a year)...DD really had a great time and did really well..she hiked 3.5 miles before DH had to carry her the rest of the way on his shoulders

Anything new to share? Nope

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? hiking..she sang and danced and pranced all the way up the trail..it was cute

GTKY: If Leap Day truly was a magical day and you could spend it however you wish, what would you be doing today? Disney World baby....I can't wait to go back in Nov, and I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather spend a Monday (boo Monday!)


Accountability Question:
How did you do last week as far as reaching your goal? What is your goal this week and what are you doing to stay on track? I did ok...blew my step goal away Saturday...the weather is finally improving so hopefully I'll get some walking in this week too.

I hope you hear from your doc today. Sometimes waiting is the hardest part. Did you already have an appointment to talk about a management plan if it comes back type ll?

I'm doing okay.
Still a grumpypotomous. Trying to be more proactive to get myself out of this funk.

Had a good weekend. Really enjoyed the nice weather yesterday.

DD1 was so cute "helping" DH with a project yesterday. I love seeing them bond over that type of stuff.

GTKY: I would love to be doing something fun as a family- maybe the zoo

Accountability: fair
3/5 workouts
Food: not so great this weekend

[tbonequeen13]

chknma, no..i've never had a PCP before, and since she wasn't a jerk face like the witch OB that told me I was Type II and caused my own miscarriage, she acted like she was reserving all judgement until the labs came back. I assume she would handle it if it was, because her website talks about her dedication to helping patients with diabetes, but it's possible she'll refer me to a specialist. Part of me wants to call and ask if they have them back, but the scared part of me doesn't because I'm pretty sure I won't like the answers.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? AF is being a B.

How was your weekend? We had a pretty low key weekend because DS was getting over being sick. I love quiet weekends when it's just the three of us!

Anything new to share? CD3 over here, so we've officially burned the bench. Feeling so many different emotions.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? I kissed him goodnight last night, as always, but then he made a kissy sound back. I leaned my cheek closer, and em he gave me big kisses! My heart was so full. Then he licked my cheek. LOL

GTKY: If Leap Day truly was a magical day and you could spend it however you wish, what would you be doing today? We all would have played hooky and maybe give to the aquarium.


Accountability Question:

tbonequeen13 your hike with LO sounds like it was so much fun! I love that she danced and pranced! GL with your results. It's so stressful to wait for test results.

chknma WTG on your workouts!! (((Hugs))) I'm sorry you're in a funk.

Your OB sounds like a gem. Glad you have linked up with someone that seems to have better compassion. I don't remember if I mentioned, but my labs came back prediabetic last summer. My PMD was in board with me working on lifestyle changes and I was able to drop my fasting blood sugar and A1c a bit over 6 months. Still more room for improvement, but a start. I need to call and see when I need to follow up since things were put on hold while I was pregnant. Hope your doc has some good advice for whatever your labs reveal.

I struggle sometimes with having to deal with both pregnancy loss and a chronic health concern. Sometimes it just doesn't feel fair...but I try to remind myself that it could be much worse...((hugs)) for being in this boat too

@opheliainwonders good idea on the therapist front. I need to do the same

[chknma]

TTCAL is such a rollercoaster so it's awesome that your going to get some extra support. Hope the MFM is able to offer some useful information and that you are cleared (if you feel ready to move forward)

[thepax89]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Feeling physically amazing. Emotionally, ugh ready to be pregnant again. I really want a baby again.

How was your weekend? I've been a weird hormonal mess, so I yelled at DH a lot.

Anything new to share? Yes. I found out the cause of death of my baby. Trisomy 16. I also found out he was a boy. (Which I knew...and yes, I knew with all my heart that he was a boy)

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She makes an "oh" face when she hears a fart sound (16 months)

GTKY: If Leap Day truly was a magical day and you could spend it however you wish, what would you be doing today? Lame, but I'd be pregnant still. This all would have been a nightmare and I'd be so grateful for him in my belly.

tbonequeen13 how did that little person walk so much!!! I'm impressed

birch113 woot woot. Bye bench.

[tbonequeen13]

well...results are in...my A1C was 7.0, and anything above 6 is considered diabetic..I go back Friday afternoon to talk to the dr and see what we're going to do from here...when I was pregnant last, it was 8.6 so it's come down quite a bit with me just eating right and exercising, so I'm hoping they won't load me up with meds from the getgo and will let me try to bring it down with continued weight loss. I am concerned that it will affect our plans for TTCing, but from what I've read they want your A1C below 7 before you get pregnant, so maybe it will only delay things a couple of months (we weren't planning to try until April anyway). I am surprisingly ok with the news so far- it wasn't like I didn't sort of suspect it (I haven't had any symptoms, but Murphy's Law loves me so I figured this would be my luck) and this dr's office is really helping with the way they're responding. The nurse on the phone didn't sound panicked at all and she didn't rush me for a follow-up appt (they let me fit it in my schedule) so I feel like they don't expect me to drop dead any moment. It's going to be a hard row to hoe- I have a mega sweet tooth and I LOVE all things carb, but I have scaled back on those things in the last 6 months due to trying to eat better, so as long as I can have the occasional treat, I think I'll be ok.

[chknma]

thepax89 ((hugs)) for you and your sweet boy

tbonequeen13
Sounds like you have already been making healthy changes and are seeing results! Great job! Hope you and your doc come up with a good plan that you feel comfortable with.

[birch113]

tbonequeen13 I'm sorry the results weren't better, but I think it's fantastic that you were able to already being your number down through diet and exercise! Fingers crossed that you can continue with the plan and not need meds.
