Well, I'm officially 32 weeks!

So I was spared the dreaded morning sickness at the beginning of my pregnancy. I didn't really have a whole lot to complain about throughout any of it so far either. However, ever since I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I have been throwing up. It's only happened 4 times, and it's usually in the evening when I don't eat the best for the day. Well, I was woken up with it tonight. It started at about 1:30am and didn't think I was going to make it to the bathroom. I actually had a dream that I was going into labor, so when I woke up it was pretty scary. So I'm sitting here at almost 3 am, afraid to go back to bed because my stomach hasn't quite settled down yet.

I was out of most of my "healthy" stuff today, and had cereal for breakfast, a burger from Jack in the Box that my brother in law was nice enough to get me, a couple string cheeses, a granola bar, and then before I went to bed I had dinner, a waffle. I can only imagine that's what did it to me. What stinks is I never did make it to the store today and Shane has to take my car to work since his truck needs to be taken to the shop, so I'm stuck here without a car.

Well, I'm sick of it, so I'm going to eat the best I can tomorrow, and go to the store and eat better the rest of the next 8 weeks. What's weird is that there are days when I've eaten worse that that, and been perfectly fine. So it makes me wonder if there isn't some other reason for it all. Especially since at my last appointment, my doctor said that my gestational diabetes was so borderline, that what I eat shouldn't really affect me. I just needed to watch my sugar intake so I don't produce too much insulin for Tayson.

It's funny because every time I do worship the porcelain god, Tayson always responds by kicking harder than usual. I can't say I blame him though. I think I probably would kick someone too if I was woken up like that. Poor little guy. Anyway, since this is my 32 week mark, when I re-wake up I will post some more pictures of my belly, so we can all see if it's grown any. I feel huge, but I did last week too and I hadn't really grown a whole lot. I will also measure myself to see that way as well.

Deanna, I wish you all the best on Drew's surgery. I'm sorry I'm not the only one up so late, or, early. I love you guys and wish you the best!

Hey girl, I am sorry you are not feeling well. I know how hard it is to eat good, sugar is like my favorite food. I can't imagine having gestational diabetes, in fact, I am surprised I dont, since I eat so much crap. But I am trying to do better. Every once in a while (every day) I cheat or dont do as good as I could, but anyway, good luck. Let me know if you need anything. And get that darn truck in the shop, you don't need to be sitting at home by yourself with no vehicle so close to your due date!

Amen! Don't go too much longer without a way to get to the hospital (just in case) You never really know when they'll come. Feel better soon!
