Yeah, it's really quiet in here. I feel like I've seen all these people come and go from this section but I've been here forever. It feels like it's never ending sometimes. Lol.

Great to hear all your levels are going great! All mine have been under 6, with an occasionally 6.0 in there.
Sorry, I don't really eat sweet potato. No ideas for you.
Is the swelling in your legs just from fluid? I've been lucky not to get any swelling this pg. I got a fair bit with my DS though.

Yay! Your baby shower. I hope it all goes well and you have a fantastic shower!!!!!!!!
tennykins - Yeah seems very quiet. Ah for the day when we don't need to be in here and can just provide a wealth of knowledge. Fluid is just swelling, OB said normal and PG related but seems to be good last few days. I find a bath helps it.

Hello how is every one doing
snowchickie79 enjoy the baby shower and the food even better when its nice and does'nt effect the sugars in a bad way
Niamh - I plan to!!! Endo said i don't have to test that day, I'll do my after b'fast level but that is all. I'm not going to go really silly with sweets but if i want cake, by golly i'm going to have cake. I'm making lamingtons and my sister has made cute cupcakes. yummy.

Hi Guys!
SnowChickie - so gald your levels are doing fine. Might pay to mention to your dr that your fasting level is a little on the low side. I don't mean to scare you but under 4 is going into hypoland, but you probably don't have to worry about that if your not on insulin.
Enjoy your baby shower. Your levels seem to be doing really well, so I wouldn't be too concerned about splurging at your baby shower. My levels are higher than yours (and I'm on insulin) and I splurged a little and my levels were fine.
As for the sweet potato...hmmm.....maybe sprinkle with a little nutmeg or cinnamon? Would normally recommend brushing with maple syrup but that's out for all of us now!

Hope everyone's having a great day!
BecciI've tried the cinnamon on the s'potato but not helping much. still taste the blandness underneath. ahh the boredom..

I actually had a work lunch today to farewell 2 girls at work, i had hot chippies and some chicken with a diet coke and my level was 6.9 after lunch so although over 6 was still under 7. Endo said that if over 6 and i can explain why then that is ok... I had a safe dinner though and will be a good girl tomorrow in preparation for a blow out on Sunday. I see my Endo next Wednesday so hopefully he is happy with how i'm going. My oB this week was happy and said weight is good and bub size is good. I'm really worried about bub size as OB told me from the start, prior to any GD, that a baby over the mid 6 pound range would be tricky birth for me due to my size (i'm petite and have tiny hips) so although the idea of a 7 or 8 pound baby is not considered big under any circumstances, it may present me with a problem which would have been there regardless of having GD now.
