I hate getting blood taken.

Well that is great news, I'm glad to hear that.

I'm glad that things are going well, I hope that you go into labor before 40 weeks and I hope you get to have a normal labor.

I didn't even know extreme was still around.

I'm glad you have some one who loves you that much.

ha ha... yeah it was a powerful moment I'll admit

Thats right, you have a little Ford Ka don't you? You probably should have Brian help you out of the car and then have him get Louis out too. Easier on your back and any stitches you might have...

God, its all getting so close isn't it.
lior:
Me too, hopefully I can afford to get a new computer in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed this piece of crap mac Im on holds up until then tongue

I'm not going to say try not to be scared because I know I would be scared too tongue You'll be right though, you have Brian to help you through everything smile

I've been getting scans at every appt too, so I kind of actually always look forward to them. :-)

Hopefully you don't have too much interference with your birth, I know I'm dreading that possibility. I think medical intervention blows. haha

Yep, really fucking crazy. I found this online earlier today and while I was reading it some parts reminded me of stuff you've said about your mum. Hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries or anything, but I really think your should read it - I have a feeling it might help some, its sure helped me realise a lot of stuff...

had an appointment with the dietician and my diabetes nurse today.

the diet changes have helped keep my blood sugar levels lower than expected and so i may not need insulin after all, and if i do it will only be one shot of a small dose at night to help throught he night when i cant control it.

so thats great news!

That is good news. Being stuck on insulin all the time would be a hassle. Good to hear things are working out!

ok so.....the good news is the diet i have to go on is nowhere near as bad as i thought it would be. its only slight changes because my food intake isnt that bad anyway. also, because my sugar level results taken at the start of my pregnancy were fine, and my diet isnt that bad, it does look like its gestational diabetes only, and...

Hey sweetie, you are stronger than you think just hold in there and all three of u will be fine. As for the crash, scary and I think I wouldve belted him for you if Id been there
tex13:
Glad you and the little one are okay, car crashes are never fun but I know it must have been even worse worrying about Louis. Brian is a good guy, i know he will always be good to you and be the best dad.

According to my father, it usually recedes upon giving birth, but you will have to make adjustments to your diet. Don't panic and don't get depressed, this is not an unusual condition, and it isn't terribly dangerous to the baby either.

you will be okay! it happens to a lot of women.
