    @annas930 This is the same one who thought her doctor was weighing her wrong, right? What a numb nut

    AnnaS930 said:
    Pregnant coworker found out this weekend that she has gestational diabetes.  She was basically arguing with me that because her first number was too high before drinking the sugary drink, she should not have diabetes. I explained that a failure of fasting glucose is an automatic diagnosis.

    She's worried about being put on medication because she has never "personally seen a skinny diabetic" and assumes it will make her gain weight.  She currently looks as if she weighs about as much as my left leg.
    Gah! I regret making suggestions for her baby shower. FTR, my weight gain has rapidly slowed down when being diagnosed with GD (both pregnancies and meds both times) because of the carb restrictions. Also, has she not heard of Type 1? I have a Type 1 friend who is on a pump (obviously), and is thin. My grandma has never weighed more than 125 in her life, and she has Type 2. How does someone in the pharmaceutical world know so very little about diabetes?? The arguing with you over her fasting really gets me. But at least she doesn't have to worry about giving up cookie dough. :unamused:

    @UnwritteN12 - Please remember that this person is extremely smack-worthy at all times.

    I pointed out that while being overweight is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, that it has nothing to do with type 1 or gestational.  She's just out there.
    Fair point. Just promise then that, when someone's patience runs out with her and she does get smacked, we find out right away! Thanks!!  ;)

  • @camichael84 - I feel the exact same way. I don't wish that she had GD, but as you and other mamas on here with GD make clear often, the worry about having GD is the well-being of the baby.. not about whether diabetes meds are going to make you gain weight. Like.. seriously?  She wanted to be put on fertility meds when she and her husband started trying but really didn't want to gain weight.  I TOTALLY get not wanting to gain weight, I have plenty of weight issues.. but my wanting of a child completely trumped the fear of gaining a few pounds, both times.  I mean really, you're signing up to gain 25+ pounds if the meds work right? What's a few pounds in the process?

  • @AnnaS930 Crinkle Cut is always saying stuff like your last comment and j can't handle it. She's always saying that she just is so nervous about getting pregnant because of how it changes your body and she just doesn't know if she ca do it. Fine. Don't then. If you can't handle your body changing to have a child, then don't have one. Probably for the best.  

    I get get being sad that maybe you have stretch marks now, or you gained extra weight and all that, but she gets so, so anxious about it. And she weighs 90 lbs too. So annoying.
  • I'm going in search of cold air. I normally can handle the heat and normally my office is set on sub-zero. But none of the above are applying today. I might take a nap on the couch in the lobby.

    @AnnaS930 Sounds like someone that I would have a lot of trouble controlling my "eye rolls" around! I'm one of those people who is generally nice to everyone, but good lord, if I don't like you or find you annoying, there's no hiding it with this face. I hope she gets lots of death stares from you! 


  • @AnnaS930 my heart melted. So so so cute

  • I swore up and down that our dogs and kids were going to be best friends. It's only been recently that they pay attention to each other! I think a big part of it is that the kids are in charge of feeding the animals and, sometimes, letting them outside. 
    I take that back....the dogs were really into the kids far before the kids were into the dogs. One reason....FOOD! I swear that's why Tobi is as overweight as he is. Anything that fell onto the floor, he and Snickers got. I'll never forget the kids dropping an entire box of honey nut cheerios on the floor and, by the time I got to it, half of them were gone. Thanks for your help, Tobi.
    I'm really hoping that the babies are more interested in the animals though!

  • Thanks for all the love on my little man and fur baby, I'm pretty obsessed with them... especially the kiddo, but Roxy is a very good dog (sure she's eaten a few pacifiers and sits under E's high chair praying for drops), but she's really matured since he came along.

    @camichael84 - I've noticed in a few of your more recent posts, sounds like McKenna is talking a lot more? Did she have the language boom you were hoping for a few months back??

  • @PoodleDoodleOoo there have to be at least 15 cup holders in this thing.  Plus a "cool box" that can fit a 6 pack.  Of soda, obviously.
    is this a Tommy Boy reference?!

    I love my dogs but not so much lately. They honestly are lucky my daughter adores them and they are amazing with her. They both have poor boundaries and will probably be the reason I die when I trip over them. One has horrible allergies and stinks all the time regardless of what we do. The other is a naughty shit and continues to dig under the dog fence to get out and run. He is super close to getting a filler that zaps him when he is to far out of radius of the house. I however am concerned he will get it hung up on the fence and hurt himself this I havent done it yet.
  • @asht Oh no! I'm sorry to hear your pup has allergies. So does mine. She take Benadryl every day and we have to wash her eyes, ears, and paws out on the daily with anti-fungal rinses. She's allergic to environmental things so it's impossible to keep her away. As for the digger, that sounds frustrating AND scary! Can you put bricks down there so he can't access the dirt? 
  • @camichael84 DD says a ton of words, but I can make out about half of them. I'm no longer concerned about her speech, she talks all the time, but it's so frustrating when she's saying something over and over and I have no clue. If we need it though, SIL is an SLP, so free therapy! Haha
  • @camichael84 That's excellent!  I'm a little OCD about milestones and development.. At 20 months she's still at the milestone that we are at, which the vocab goal is 8 words beyond "mama/dada" so if you've lost count, I'd say she's at/above the expectation! Woop woop!  And, as with other things.. there are several other abilities within the same communication milestone to meet, so even if it was still low the other abilities would even it right out.

  • @AnnaS930 - I didn't realize that the vocab goal for 20 months is only 8 words. Makes me feel pretty good about my LO. It has felt like his speech has been developing slowly but he is definitely beyond 8 words. And he understands us when we talk to him and give instructions.

    I have used chicken wire and oak logs stacked along the fence. He digs so much his nails are usually broke and bloody. I can bury fence in because it's around a bunch of pine trees and roots are a big problem. 
  • I feel like there's such a huge range of normal for speech in the under two club. My understanding is that being able to understand what is being said to them is much more important than actual speech at that age. Anecdotally, I had a lot of concerns about my daughter's lack of speech, my pedi didn't, and then she turned two and it was like overnight, she had a language explosion. She never shuts up now ;)

    But nonetheless, for those with concerns, it never hurts to get an EI evaluation.

  • @MrsVoorhees It takes me some time to tell the difference between some words sometimes. Usually if I can't make out what she's saying, I assume it's gibberish. Haha. Maybe I should try harder to understand if she's actually trying to say something.

    Alright, so occasionally I feel this gurgling sensation in my belly and I SWEAR it is baby farting or pooping in there! It's probably not actually be that, but it definitely feels that way!
