katones - congrats on getting your date! And that's great that bubba isn't too big due to GD.

angelraelz - can't wait to hear the sex of your bubbas! And good luck for Monday

Tenny - yay for vag indeedy! I had acupuncture today, got more booked for next week and talked through what he can do to help bring on labour. Yay! :fingerscrossed: for natural labour start. I had HEAPS of BH yesterday and felt that bubba boy had dropped a bit (I was waaaay more uncomfortable) so I'm hoping that's all a good sign!

Petals - model baby, that's great! Where do I order one of those?

And yes, as part of trying to bring on labour...well DH has been told to be ready to DTD for end next week, hehe Gentlemen, start your engines!

haha that's too funny! Wonder if that means mine is too? He seems to have the hiccups HEAPS!

Copped an 8 last night, so my insulin is up to 16 now. Figure I don't really care if it goes up anymore (plus i don't think it will heaps) now I'm on my count down... hehe.

have a great weekend everyone!

hiya

had my scan they put my dates back to the 1st of March. So they couldn't find the sexes as the guy said it was to early and he didn't want to guess incase it was wrong.

So i will have another scan at 20 weeks and find out then.

Now i just hope my Gtt results are good.

we went out for dinner last night.. levels 2hrs post dinner were good but this morning ****e!!!! and after breakkie ****e aswell!!! am totally over all this GD crap!!!! will see how they go after lunch.....

[belfie]

it's so annoying isn't it! I think I remember some of the other girls saying that sometimes things go a bit mental around the 35 week mark... maybe that's why yours are all over the place atm? Fingers crossed for a good reading after lunch!

I was lucky and mine weren't too bad over that time. But while they've just told me to up the insulin by 2 every time I go over 8, mine are still sitting on 6's and 7's even when I'm being good. We've got friends around tonight, and i know they'll want pizza. I'm wondering if I can get away with just a slice or two if I have some salad with it. I know i can't manage a pizza only meal
