Re: **GD Thursday Check In** Onion Rings... yum.
QOTD: For the baby it is baby Picasso in sage. It is geometric patterns. Mainly squares. DS's room is baby jungle and we wanted something different this time.
Menu: I still can't cheat without crazy numbers. Definitely can't look at fruit. I do finally have good numbers after upping my dose of insulin and staying very strict on the diet. Finally under 120 for most meals and just under 95 for fasting. I feel good about it.
Thanks girls--- you are so sweet.
Question of the Day: NON GD RELATED! We are due for one! What is your nursery theme!? How did you choose it? If you don?t have a theme yet- what are you thinking? If you think themes are lame- that?s cool too.
twinkle little star---we are team green. I just ordered the coolest wall decal----it says twinkle, twinkle, little star do you know how loved you are?
Menu: Fruit- apples, strawberries, bananas, oh my! - how has it been going with your sugars?
My sugars have been great. I really love sugar free jello.
Update: NST scan went great. Still need to stay off my feet, but I can go out a little. Every week, I will have a NST scan. 5 more weeks to go. The doc said I am measuring small, but not to be worried. I have an ultrasound next week, to check size.
Love you girls!!!!
Nursery Theme: We didn't really do a theme, other than "Bright and Fun." It's turquoise with a magenta/white striped wall and a lime green upholstered glider. Lots of animals, stripes, polka dots, and even some paisley!
Fruits: I've done well with apples and grapes but I pair them with cheese for the protein.
Annierific - a tip for the internals that worked for me was to make a fist with both hands and put them under my butt. It gave the doctor a better angle and was much more comfortable for me.
This is my last check in as I go in for an induction on Monday night. I can't tell you all how much I've appreciated the support from this group, and I wish you all the best! We're hoping she comes on her own before then, so please send good labor thougthts my way!
Nursery: no theme. We didn't do one with ds either.
Fruit: I have an orange or grapes with lunch everyday and my numbers are always very good. I've been fine with bananas and apples too.

Milo's nursery has an outside/bird/owl theme. I found the cutest custom quilt from an etsy seller that I fell in love with which became my inspiration.
Menu: Fruit- apples, strawberries, bananas, oh my! - how has it been going with your sugars?
My sugars have been going okay, I still have some 130 range after 1 hour from finishing a meal (my target is 120 or less) - which is frustrating since I can have an identical meal the day before and my numbers are okay. So I wonder if they will increase my insulin again this week. I can eat berries or frozen peaches with cottage cheese and tend to be okay at lunch or dinner.
Update: I have my first internal and birth plan discussion with OB on Monday. The 1 month count down begins!
Still on modified bed rest for low amniotic fluid. Bed rest seems to be doing Milo good since I went from 5.5 cm to 5.9 when they measured yesterday at the ultrasound.
i don't know if i've been added, but i'd like to be. alyssonjean/alysson/29/ june 12/diet and excercise.
qotd: we have a color theme - pink, brown, green, and blue. our furniture is white. my mom is sewing all the decor, and i'm knitting the mobile. we just hung the curtains and i love it!
sugars: i've been doing pretty well - a few high numbers, but they were easily explained. i do okay with fruit, though i'm only allowed to have it once in the morning - bfast OR snack. and i love my fruit. oh well.
QOTD: Our theme is "girly safari". We're doing a light blue wall on top, with Green hills coming up into the blue. Curtins and Sheets in pink (we're not doing bumpers, or quilts). I just found a "Lollipop Jungle" accessory set that a lot of our animals and colors will be based off. And a cook-coo clock that is black and white zebra with a monkey instead of a bird, and a pink flower for the pendulum.
Menu: My lunch numbers are still wacky and I'm not sure what's going on. I can have the same meal I had for dinner as leftovers for lunch and see a huge difference. I'm starting to wonder if V-8 is the problem even though it's "free" on my diet, as it was the only difference between lunch and dinner.
Fruit doesn't affect me at all except for bananas.
No theme for us. For a while, she will have to share with DS, until we are able to find a bigger place.
My numbers have been good lately, now that I am on Glyburide 5.0. I'm hoping to keep it up!
Good morning mamas!
Thanks annie for the onion ring reference....oh how I would love to chomp on some right now.
QTOD: I guess you could say our nursery theme is pink or princess.
Menu: My numbers have been great! Thank goodness I finally feel like I have a little bit of control on them (I was getting a 130 or more reading at least every other day). I love strawberries and oranges and fit them in with any meal I can and my numbers stay good.
Did not go with a nursery theme - could not decide on one and could not find anything we really liked. Just went with blue and brown colored patterns.
Menu: Fruit- - how has it been going with your sugars?
I have had to do alot of experimenting and the only time I seem to be able to eat fruit without it spiking my numbers up is for my afternoon snack. Not too sure why but I typically just have a small apple or half a banana.
Update: I have been on this diet for 3 weeks now and havent gained a pound yet - and this is going off of the doctors scales, not mine at home. I am going to bring it up next week to my doctor. I thought I would be gaining about a pound a week until LO arrives. The diet itself hasnt been to rough, I have days where I am frustrated and feel like I am starving. I just get up and go out for a walk to get the food off my mind. I would sure love a big bowl of ice cream though......
Happy Thursday to all you ladies.
Add me!
AbJams/Abbie/28/May 31st/Diet!
QOTD: We're moving on Saturday... I have no theme as I have no nursery yet! But soon!
Menu: I have checked my levels 3 times and have been good so far! I had a mandarin orange yesterday for a snack paired with string cheese and I was fine!
Question of the Day: NON GD RELATED! We are due for one! What is your nursery theme!? How did you choose it? If you don?t have a theme yet- what are you thinking? If you think themes are lame- that?s cool too.
We don't have a theme really-we picked a geometric-shaped bedding set we liked and chose colors accordingly.
Menu: Fruit- apples, strawberries, bananas, oh my! - how has it been going with your sugars? I've done pretty well with fruit. I have some almost every day at lunch so it's paired with protein. I haven't tried fruit by itself though. I've mostly had strawberries and blueberries.Marriage: 12.18.04

Hello ladies
I am new to the high risk board, as I was just diagnosed with GD on Tuesday. So far reading your posts have been very helpful, especially since I don't take my class until next week and needed some guidance in the meantime. Thanks for all of your help and answers!
Gretchen/35/June 14/ diet
Thanks! It's nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Question of the Day: NON GD RELATED! We are due for one! What is your nursery theme!? How did you choose it? If you don?t have a theme yet- what are you thinking? If you think themes are lame- that?s cool too. Still nothing for a nursery; I'm leaning towards ABC/Animals, there are a few I like but DH doesn't want to pay much.
Menu: Fruit- apples, strawberries, bananas, oh my! - how has it been going with your sugars?
Not bad...I've thankfully been able to eat fruit w/ my meals and snacks!
Can you please add me?
DebsPSUBride/Debbie/30/8/24/10/1X insulin at night
I hear ya, I have been craving grapefruit lately (not sure why). I'd love to have a whole one (or two!)
