GD Club Check-In 11.8.16

Sorry for the late post today- I had a MFM appointment this morning and just got into work!
How are your numbers this week?
How many weeks are you?
How are you abstaining from Halloween candy and what's your favorite kind?
How are you dealing with the end of the Presidential Campaign? Are you stoked about your candidate, are you apathetic, will you watch the results come in?
Re: GD Club Check-In 11.8.16
How are your numbers this week? They are pretty good, overall. A few spikes here and there because I'm only human and there's candy in the house!
How many weeks are you? 34+4
How are you abstaining from Halloween candy and what's your favorite kind? I'm having a hard time completely abstaining. So I try to be strategic about what I'm eating and limit myself. But my favorite is the Butterfinger cups (kind of like Reece's cups). they are so awesome! I'm eating the rest of them after this baby comes!!!
How are you dealing with the end of the Presidential Campaign? Are you stoked about your candidate, are you apathetic, will you watch the results come in? Because I deal with politics on a regular basis for my job, this political cycle has been really interesting to me (the political scientist nerd in me). But I'm also so sick of the mud slinging and it seems worse this election cycle than in others. I'm not stoked about either candidate but I did go vote today and I will watch the results roll in tonight. I just wish I had a tall glass of wine to go along with it!
How are your numbers this week? Probably a tad better than last week. I spiked this morning after eating PB toast and a canned itty bitty coffee. It was either that or being pissed off at my kid.
How many weeks are you? 33+2
How are you abstaining from Halloween candy and what's your favorite kind? I love anything chocolate. I have some freezer candy here and I have only eaten a couple of pieces, but always spike after, so I guess I should abstain.
How are you dealing with the end of the Presidential Campaign? Are you stoked about your candidate, are you apathetic, will you watch the results come in? I am so sick of people asking me who I voted for, and then say "well as long as you didn't vote for X.... "..... like, it's none of your damn business. I will probably watch results. I am just excited for my Facebook feed to return to pics of cats and recipes, despite the GD

How are your numbers this week? Okay - I did get scolded by one of the nurses at my appointment on Monday for not doing all of my tests since I'm trying to conserve strips. Had to go through the whole thing again about only getting 50 strips per dispense so I'm trying to make them last (this is one of the drawbacks of having to see a different MD at every visit, I have to keep repeating myself!)
How many weeks are you? 34+3
How are you abstaining from Halloween candy and what's your favorite kind? I'm a little bit of a junk food junkie (don't really have a favorite candy, per se, I love most of it!), so the abstaining is a little difficult - not so much when I'm home, but coworkers have brought in leftover candy or things that their kiddos didn't want, and sometimes I tend to stress eat, so that doesn't work out so well...
How are you dealing with the end of the Presidential Campaign? Are you stoked about your candidate, are you apathetic, will you watch the results come in? I am pretty apathetic when it comes to anything political. I know realistically I shouldn't be, for the sake of my little one. I will say that I'm a little shocked at the result - I thought it was going to go the other way; but I did not have a horse in this race. Personally I think both candidates had their flaws, and no matter the result, we would have had issues of some sort. And I will just leave it at that.

Good morning ladies!
How are your numbers this week? Switched meds due to high fasting numbers. The result is better fasting and breakfast but slightly worse lunch and dinner. I hate you GD. All in all my numbers are better I think.
How many weeks are you? 35 tomorrow!
How are you abstaining from Halloween candy and what's your favorite kind? Frozen snickers yummm. Hubby did the Halloween candy shopping and he's cheap so he bought junk candy, not really interested so that was a good thing I guess.
How are you dealing with the end of the Presidential Campaign? Are you stoked about your candidate, are you apathetic, will you watch the results come in? Meh I'm ready for Christmas commercials to take over!
How are your numbers this week? Last week I had a few spikes from things that haven't been a problem before but they weren't worried about it. However I also lost 4 pounds last week so they are a little worried about that.
How many weeks are you? 32+5
How are you abstaining from Halloween candy and what's your favorite kind? Resees I have bought some for my hospital bag
I bought candy that DH likes and he has hidden it. I agree it is much worse at work, but I have done pretty well at avoiding it. I have had a few of those ice cream snickers as a night snack and it hasn't really spiked me at all so when I really need sweet I do that.
How are you dealing with the end of the Presidential Campaign? Are you stoked about your candidate, are you apathetic, will you watch the results come in? I'm glad it's over. I did vote and I stayed up too late (also spiked this morning and had really bad MS from lack of sleep) I'm just ready for people to cope with the results and be able to enjoy the fact that the holidays are coming and I have a little baby on the way instead of listening to political opinions 24/7. I do care, don't get me wrong, but I don't think the world will end regardless of which way it went.
How are your numbers this week? good, had a midwife appointment today and she was happy with them. Can't say it has been enjoyable but I'm managing it.
How many weeks are you? 34 tomorrow
How are you abstaining from Halloween candy and what's your favorite kind? I've been allowing myself the bite size pieces every now and then, typically with a meal so I work it into my carb counts. Had a bit of a meltdown today and couldn't stop myself from enjoying some dark chocolate.
How are you dealing with the end of the Presidential Campaign? Are you stoked about your candidate, are you apathetic, will you watch the results come in? I am unable to deal with it. I didn't like either candidate, but cannot believe that anyone (let alone half the nation) would support a misogynist/bigot who is only looking to add to his wealth - he doesn't care about America, or those who are struggling, he cares only for himself. I do not identify with this America, and I have lost all hope in its future. (PS: I grew up in the rust belt. I go back yearly. I know how bad it it there. But they've been fooled, this is not the answer to their problems.)
How are your numbers this week? Still no spikes, have a growth ultrasound next Monday to check on baby's size. He was 23rd percentile at the 32 week but now he feels HUGE so I'm nervous!
How many weeks are you? 35w + 4d
How are you abstaining from Halloween candy and what's your favorite kind? I don't have any kids and we don't get trick or treaters in my apartment building, so we didn't have any Halloween candy in my apartment until I bought one bag on Target clearance
I eat one piece a day after dinner. BUT, that hasn't stopped me from eating a cookie every other day at work with my afternoon snack...
I love anything with chocolate and caramel combined: Twix, Snickers, Rolos, etc. SO GOOD!
How are you dealing with the end of the Presidential Campaign? Are you stoked about your candidate, are you apathetic, will you watch the results come in? I work in public health research, so I'm really terrified about what is to come. I haven't been really emotional this whole pregnancy, and I cried a little when I heard the results. But we've got to come together and move forward, sulking is not helping anyone right now. I'm fortunate that on a state and local level I am happy with my representatives, but there's a lot of damage that can done federally. Trying to stay positive for the health of the baby, but its hard!
