I am in week 31 (two months to go) and it looks like I am going to have gestational diabetes. I started sticking myself with the little tester today and will do so for about 2 weeks to see if I can get the blood sugar under control. The whole thing is a little confusing as They seem to want me to eat MORE carbs than I normally would but it is only day 1 so maybe the Dr. is right. I hear you are supposed to listen to them.

I just got off the phone with my sister, Kate. She has settled into Missouri but I believe her girls have hit the terrible twos. Plus, there is just one of her and two of them. She is coming down next week for a week to help me get the nursery set up and make sure I have all the stuff I need since she is definitely the expert. It will be good to see the twins as it has been awhile and it will tide my Mom over until Thanksgiving. I’m super thankful for Kate’s help as she keeps thinking of stuff I’m supposed to be thinking about but haven’t – like baby announcements  and Christmas cookies.
