Well, its good news on the diabetes front!  I don't have it!  The 3 hour test is awful!  Hope I never have to go through that again!  It's now going into week 29 and I am doing well.  My blood pressure has leveled off and remains around 134/83 instead of my high of 150/103.  I can finally say what my mystery situation is now.  I have been offered a new job.  I know it's crazy to think of moving employment when I am seven months pregnant, but I think it will be a good thing.  They wanted me pregnant so they know what they are getting :-)  The only downside is that I will change insurance carriers and most likely will not have my surgery in December.  That's ok -- I think.  I am not giving up.  I am just going to have to put this on the back burner for awhile.  Maybe that is what God intended all along.  We'll see what happens.  The good thing is that I know I can live without all of my favorite foods.  I have learned to listen to my body and not be too upset when my head says something sounds good and my body says no way.  I don't know what will happen when my body changes again and starts to carve those foods, but at least I know I can take the physical discomfort and the head hunger without going mad.  I am very excited about the baby.  I have my shower tomorrow and I know it will be wonderful.  Even the hubby and kiddo's are going to be there.   

Well, I'll keep updating as I really think this is good for me.  Keep losing and God Bless you!  kmb

Hello!  It is almost 4th of July and I can hardly believe that this year is half way over!  I hope it keeps going by fast :-)  Well, here we are in my 27th week of being preggers and it's beginning to get really tough.  The good news is that I actually lost 4 lbs in the last month so I have lost a total of 2 lbs. during this whole pregnancy without dieting! Like I keep saying, this baby really dictates what I can eat and what I cannot eat.  I haven't had steak in months!  I can't eat french fries from fast food.  I am craving apples this trimester.  The 1st trimester it was grapes.  The 2nd trimester it was oranges.  Now apples!  I don't even like fruit!  

Now here comes the rough part.  I have preeclampsia.  It's the sudden onset of high blood pressure in pregnancy and can cause a multitude of issues for the baby and me.  I had this with my last pregnancy too, but not this early in the pregnancy.   And, now I have to go for the big 3 hour gestational diabetes test on Thursday b/c the initial test showed my blood suger to be high.  I hate the fact that my weight is affecting this baby so much and I feel so guilty!  I am doing everything I can to be healthy, but it's hard to carry an extra 100 lbs while being pregnant at 35 years of age!  It hurts after a long day and I am one of the lucky ones who doesn't have to leave the house to work.  

I just hope that I can control my blood pressure and my suger through a good diet since I have been doing pretty well in that department.  I can't imagine how unhealthy I could be if I was eating the way I use to.  That would be horrible!  So please say some prayers!

Also, the mystery situation I have referred to in my past posts should be resolved soon.  I'll talk about that in my next update!

Keep losing and God Bless You!
