Gestational Diabetes

So lets add another problem to the list. Yep. GD. This complication was totally expected by me since I have PCOS and IR and I'm overweight. Even though I was expecting this, it still bites. At least I had meals to look forward too. Now I have to follow a diet. I went to see the NP at the MFM office yesterday and I started on Glyburide. She thinks I will need Insulin but the Peri on call that day wanted me to start with the pills first. I failed the one hour glucose test so bad I didn't even need to do the 3 hour. It was 258. They said if you score over 200 it's an automatic that you have GD. We talked about all the complications that GD can bring. More doom and gloom. Chris was annoyed by the appointment mainly because the NP was so chatty and he had to go back to work. It looks like I will have more appointments down the road and twice a week starting in week 32. Great. It's not that I mind leaving this house but it's a pain that someone needs to bring me. I'm going to have to ask my mom and MIL to help out too. I don't think Chris can handle it. He's already slacking on cooking dinner, etc. I've been on my own. I have no clean pj's and had to ask repeatedly to get my sheets washed and dried. I actually had to go down the cellar yesterday to get underwear so I threw my sheets in the wash. Last night after I ate, I cleaned the kitchen and yesteday I managed to clean 3 stains out of my new carpet in the family room from the cats. Those hairballs have got to go...or else the cats need to go. I'm starting to sound like Chris. Oy.
