Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 I like Ben but Samuel somehow feels just right for your baby. Glad you're doing well by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm so sorry it took me so long to get in here! CONGRATS, Julia! I'm so happy your pregnancy is going so well . Elijah was actually the name of my brother's pet turtle . This thread is sort of like a months-long baby shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 20, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Thank you and I agree it's a lot like a baby shower. Thank you to everyone who's attended. The anatomy scan went very well. Everything looks normal and the baby is in the 70% percentile for growth. It's really a huge relief to know that the heart and spine are developing normally. Next appointment is December 18th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted December 29, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2014 Just a quick update. I'm 26 weeks and all is well. I'm still in the happy part of pregnancy and I can feel the baby kick a lot, which is really nice. Just 14 weeks left. Hope everyone is having a great holiday!

Members slick jones Posted January 19, 2015 Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 As someone who was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I'm hoping you are well and don't have gestational diabetes. I continue to keep you in my thoughts...as well as SoapBoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 19, 2015 Author Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thank you Slick. I'm sorry to hear that you have type 2. I hope you have an easy time adjusting. Seeing your message made me check my phone and sure enough a message from the doctor telling me I failed the 1 hour glucose test. I was at 150 and they want to see people have a number under 131. Now I have to go to the hospital on Wednesday and take a three hour glucose challenge. If I fail this one I officially have GD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted January 19, 2015 Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 It's been about 7 months, and my blood sugars very rarely top 120. My sister was diagnosed 25 years ago, so I've been around it so long. I never thought I could do the needles, but I took to it quick. My best friend always asks about you(she got pregnant at the same time). She is doing well also. She is on bed rest(she's 48 and nervous) and at least once a week she asks me about her "fellow mom to be". I'll update her later. Have a great day, and good luck 2moro!

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted January 19, 2015 Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 You & BABY SPENCE are in my thoughts, Juliajms. My sister went through GDB with all three of her children! I think you will both be ok no matter what happens! Hang in there ;'-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 20, 2015 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm glad to here that you've adjusted so well. Please tell your friend I hope she is feeling ok. Bed rest must be so hard. AllMyDaysAtGH: Thank you so much. It's good to hear your sister navigated it successfully three times. I should know by Thursday where I stand.

Members Juliajms Posted January 22, 2015 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks Mr. Vixen. I got the call from the doctor today and I do have GD. I suspected during the three hour test that I would fail. I really felt like hell after drinking the glucola. I'm a little bummed, but it's the kind of thing you just have to suck up and deal with it. I have to go next week and get the diet plan and the blood sugar meter.
