35 weeks

I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence or if maybe my heart-to-heart with the OB two weeks ago got through to them, but everyone was at the top of their game today for my appointments.

I did have to see a dietitian, but it was Georgia this time and I don’t mind her nearly as much as Marilyn. She was super pleasant and asked me about my weekend and if I had any questions or issues. She told me I was doing the right things and that the occasional high blood sugar for things like changing my infusion site was understandable and easily fixable.

I had a physician’s assistant come in and tell me I was doing great as well and they just want to monitor me but don’t see any reason for alarm. She complimented my Excel sheet and said my A1C of 6 was great. (I was hoping for something in the 5s but that test was from a crappy blood sugar period for me and there’s no reason to get all Lisa Simpson about it.) They did my Group B Strep test today and sent me off for my nonstress test. That also went swimmingly and I have “great fluids” (I bet they say that to all the girls). Apparently anything over 10 is good (which I think is 1000mL or 1 liter) and I had 15.5.

It was almost creepy how pleasant they all were. Maybe they’re scared of me. Which I would be fine with at this point.

I’ve got one more two week appointment at 37 weeks and then we’re down to weekly visits until the baby makes his debut.

    It was one of the first times I’ve left an appointment in quite awhile and not wanted to cry. :) So overall I consider that a good sign!

    I didn’t realize you had done the heart to heart with the OB. I’m glad you did and I’m really glad they got their act together.

    Well, I didn’t talk to her about her OCD comment, but I think my original talk with her about the dietitian stressing me out and them needing to appreciate me more sank in. If they continue to behave themselves, I’m not going to start any fights until after the baby is safely out of me and back at home. Then we can have a “what have we all learned from this” recap meeting. :)
