Mocha, you do sound like a super-mum! The only down side if your DH gets it so easy is that I think they forget to tell you what a great job you are doing. I like to give mine a reality check every once in a while!

Hobber, a friend here is due soon with her first and has had GD. She was given a diet list of what not to eat and drink and had to prick her finger regularly to check her blood sugar levels. I know they say some GD babies are big, but hers is on the small side, so it is not always the case. They just have to keep a closer eye on baby for a while after birth to check their sugar levels are ok. GL with your testing. And it is not caused by what you have been enjoying, so don't feel bad!

He's not doing well at all. Fluid keeps collecting around his lungs, making it hard for him to breathe, and they've determined it's going to keep coming back. Either they'll have to drain it with a needle every few days for the rest of his life, or we make the decision to let him go naturally. My poor mom came back from Spain yesterday to this news.

Pinkin, excited about your scan on Fri! Will have that you'll hear girl!!

I had a bad dream last night that my baby Lillian had passed via miscarriage, though I was still big like I am now and I was NOT bleeding. I remmeber in my dream the woe I felt at losing my baby girl, and the fact that even if I tried again, I may never have a girl again. It was a very disturbing, sad dream and I was woken up from it by the baby kicking me hard. I'm so glad she started kicking and moving around to wake me up from the nightmare! Even though i know it was only a dream, it left me feeling kind of out of it and sad today.

Hobbers, I hope everyting is OK--hopefully it can be controlled with just a change of diet only. I got my gluocose test this Fri and not looking forward to it.

DS2 was a terror yesterday evening, getting into everything possible, driving DS1 and I both crazy. Hoping today he will be more of a calm baby! Cuz today I don't think I can handle his getting into trouble every second shangingans!

Auroara - every once in a while I get fears like that too, especially when someone else experiences a similar tragedy, like happened here on GD this week. So sad.

Pinkin - I'm officially stalking you now!

[Hobbermittens]

Mocha, I am so sorry your dad is doing so poorly. How does he feel about having his lungs drained? Sounds painful!

Pinkin! So excited for you!

Auroara, I hate dreams like that! It is hard not to worry, and I worry too.... especially after that awful news on here this week. I even had the Dr. check me for the parvovirus today, because I have has joint pain in my hand, and apparently that is a symptom.

I went and had my glucose test this morning. FX it comes back normal!

[Mochagirl]

My dad's pretty miserable. Hr has so many tubes hooked up to him now he can barely move and a lot of the procedures they have to do to him almost daily are quite painful. Today my mom asked him if he wants the doctors to keep doing this to him of whether he'd rather let nature take its course, and he said he'd rather the latter.

Yes, the parvovirus thing scared me too. Honestly I never considered I could catch something from my kids that could kill my baby - especially at this gestation. Very scary when living in a house full of germy little boys.
