Hi Everyone,

Just thought I'd check in and see how things are going this week! Another week gone, one less week to check BSL's!

Niamh - The whole GD thing sounds like its been extremely tedious for you.... all those long appts! Things should be a whole lot simpler for you here.

Stars & Tennykins - When are you having your scans? I'm due to go for my growth scan next Friday - I'm sooooo excited! I'll be a day short of 35 weeks then. Can't wait to get a little preview of bub.

So I had my follow up appt with the endocrinologist yesterday. She was extremely happy with everything - all my fasting BSL's have been below 4.2 and all post-meal BSL's below 5.5 (apparently that's "normal"). My Hb1ac BT also came back as "normal" so thankfully she doesn't want to see me again. I just have to keep monitoring BSL's and then go for a follow-up GTT 3-6 months after bub arrives. I have been very strict with my diet over the last couple of weeks and I asked her if I can have an occasional "bad" meal..... and I got the ok for that so I'm very pleased. I've got my last birthday without a child next week and DH and I wanted to go and splash out at a great restaurant (and yes that will definitely mean dessert ) So now that I've got the ok to do that I'm stoked! Also, Krispy Kreme has just opened in Brisbane so I have vowed that before bub arrives I WILL try one so that will be my other indulgence before the end Once bub arrives I'll be back into my usual pre-pg strict diet and exercise regime and there'll be no room for Krispy Kreme!

Have a great weekend everyone
