Almost there.....

I think I'm still in shock that I am past the 35 weeks pregnant milestone and heading to the 36 week mark! What happened??? In my mind, I had 34 weeks as my end point and now I can't believe this is happening! I'm still not feeling ready to deliver this little guy but maybe you never feel ready. I finished all my Childbirth and Breastfeeding classes and now we wait till the cerclage is removed which should happen on June 12th.

Today I had my BPP u/s and everything looks good once again. Then we had an appointment at the MFM office with the NP about my GD. My blood sugars are still not quite controlled and she increased my doses. I feel like this is a joke at this point. It's like they string you along and tell you once you're controlled you'll be able to "cheat" a little. Yeah right. I think the plan is to never get you under control. I'm almost at the end here and at this point, I've had enough. I can't cave into any food cravings I have. And what else is there for me to really enjoy right now other than food? Certainly not this hospital bed which by the way, will be going back to the DME company this month:)

I did get to see the Peri who put my cerclage in. I love this man and we got to thank him and brag that we made to almost 36 weeks after he predicted I may be luck to make 28 weeks. We made his day. And I asked him if he would take me to the OR to remove the cerclage with an epidural if my OB was unable to remove it in her office. He said he would. I hope he's actually available if that happens. I've decided if my OB can't get it out in the office, I'm not going to the MFM office to have other's try because I'm sure it's going to be horribly painful especially since it's been in there for so many weeks!

My breastfeeding class was interesting. The instructor happens to live on my street. Talk about having a resource! She gave me her phone number when we left and I've got a feeling she will be stopping over to check on me in the future.
