DS born 2016
Re: GD Check In - 9.5
Pretty good... Highest spike was 133 and it was because I think I ate a little too much!
How many weeks are you?
36!
How are you feeling in general?
Exhausted! School starts tomorrow and then my last day is 9/16!
Any new foods or snacks you've found?
I'm still obsessed with cheeseburgers!
GTKY - What's your guilty pleasure TV show?
Teen Mom, although Farrah drives me nuts!
How many weeks are you? 34½
How are you feeling in general? Right now, tired. So glad to be much better than last week... but I had a headache last night.
Any new foods or snacks you've found? Someone mentioned the cookies and cream protein bars, so I got those. I have some Arctic Zero ice cream that is not completely vile (and doesn't seem to have too much weird crap in it).
Question: I know there's a debate about eating during labor. A lot of what I read suggests things like fruit juice and popsicles. Anyone thought about this or have plans? All I can think of is chicken broth, which sounds disgusting, although I guess if you need some fuel you take what you can get.
GTKY - What's your guilty pleasure TV show? I have no guilt over my pleasures! Maybe it's the actual amount of television I watch that I should be ashamed of...
Ok this week (I have been trying rally hard). Had two spikes but one I didn't believe and when I retested (and retested x 3) on a different finger it was an outlier. The other spike was me over-estimating breakfast carbs again (whole wheat toast with peanut butter + banana + 2 % milk = too much cabs to handle).
How many weeks are you?
35 weeks on Thursday!
How are you feeling in general?
Stressed about how much I have left to do, achey especially around my rib cage and back. Just like everyone else- tired.
Any new foods or snacks you've found?
Yes! My sister and I worked really hard to identify friendly snacks and Van's Banana Nut Granola Clusters almost tastes like the banana bread I miss so much. Also- almonds mixed in with a few dark chocolate chips and craisins is another go-to. My quick and easy (Since I work in a hospital) is peanut butter + crackers.

How are you feeling in general? I feel okay most days I feel very round and soar my fingers and stomach are starting to bruise from all the needles. I do have insomnia and extremely exhaustion seems like an oxymoron but it's happening.
Any new foods or snacks you've found? Nothing really I hate eggs always have always will but I can handle eating them if I devil them. My daughter who is 3 has been stealing my protine bars behind my back I didn't know how I went threw 2 cases.of 12 in a week well now I know.
GTKY - What's your guilty pleasure TV show? We don't have cable we watch a lot of Netflix and Shomi movies though. We watched some guy movie last night I felt left out I hate action lol
How many weeks are you? 32w4d
How are you feeling in general? Feeling pretty good, just large. It's hard to get comfortable to sleep.
Any new foods or snacks you've found? Fiber One protein bars that you ladies suggested, thank you!
GTKY - What's your guilty pleasure TV show? Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill reruns
Not bad this week! I haven't had a spike and today I ate a burger at Five Guys with fries and my numbers were good two hours later (that's when I've been told to test). I don't know if it's because the fries are cooked in peanut oil? I don't know but I was happy lol
How many weeks are you?
I'll be 36 tomorrow!
How are you feeling in general?
Large and in charge lol. Super tired and swollen.
Any new foods or snacks you've found?
Like others, the Fiber One protein bars that were suggested on here and I love them! They're my new go-to. Also, this isn't a food but seltzer water (flavored and plain) have helped curve my soda cravings. I really just wanted the bubble feeling and this has helped a lot! I discovered a black cherry one that is really good. I never even thought of seltzer before GD but now I think that I'm going to stick with it even after the GD is gone because even sips of soda now taste super syrupy to me.
GTKY - What's your guilty pleasure TV show?
The Bachelor/The Bachelorette/Bachelor in Paradise. I love that shit lol
Good. Average of 84 last week. I'm using the Logbook app to track my 7 daily tests and my carbs, and my doctor only ever wants to hear about the average, so it works.
How many weeks are you?
34 +5
How are you feeling in general?
Okay. Doc says he wants to induce me at 38 or 39 weeks, and I really don't want that to happen. With DS, everything started naturally and it was only 4.5 hours from first contraction to birth. I DO NOT want to be sitting in a hospital bed for 24+ hours waiting for pitocin to kick in and then end up having a C-Section or something.
Any new foods or snacks you've found?
My numbers are easiest to control in the morning, and I've been craving fruit pretty much this whole pregnancy. I have been able to easily tolerate vanilla greek yogurt with fresh blueberries in the morning, and even a small portion of strawberries with cheese before bed.
GTKY - What's your guilty pleasure TV show?
So many... but I can't miss Survivor or Grey's Anatomy.
Had some spikes last week because I was sick and really just needed to stay in bed. Otherwise they are good
How many weeks are you? 35
How are you feeling in general? Uncomfortable
Any new foods or snacks you've found?
i am obsessed with dannons light and fit Greek yogurt. I eat 2-3 a day.
GTKY - What's your guilty pleasure TV show? Toddlers and Tiaras. No matter how shitty I feel as a parent I will never be that bad!
How many weeks are you? 36 +1
How are you feeling in general? Feeling alright, ready to meet this guy!
Any new foods or snacks you've found? Nothing new.
GTKY - What's your guilty pleasure TV show? I'm a reality show junkie. Bachelor in paradise! (Can't wait for the finale tonight @Michi1382 !) Big brother, survivor... I seriously watch all the reality shows. DH can't stand them.

Going pretty well. I had an appointment today with MFM to discuss whether or not they were going to put me on insulin. It went awesome because they're going to let me continue with diet change, which means I get to stay with my midwives and not switch doctors!! I'm so happy, I had to see one of the midwives after and we cried happy tears together.
How many weeks are you?
35 + 4
How are you feeling in general?
I'm feeling much less stressed after today's appointment. Now if I can find the magic trick to reduce my feet swelling, I'd be happy.
Any new foods or snacks you've found?
I've found that yogurt in the morning really helps keep my numbers low for breakfast. Also I've craved cheese this whole pregnancy so the fact that it doesn't really count for carbs is fabulous.
GTKY - What's your guilty pleasure TV show?
Any of the Teen Mom shows or Toddlers in Tiaras, I'm a sucker for crappy reality TV like that.
@Michi1382 SO excited for the new bachelor! I started wondering though if Nick knew he was going to be the next bachelor while on Bachelor in Paradise and maybe he was put on there by the network for publicity. He seemed so solid with Jen!
