I went to the doctor on Thursday. The week before I was told I needed to go on Metformin. That is a medicine for my diabetes because the low-carb diet alone is not doing the trick. This medicine isn't insulin, it is just something to help my insulin do its job better. So Thursday I went and had to take a NST (Non-Stress Test) to make sure that the medicine wasn't affect Peyton negatively. They just monitor his heartbeat, make sure he gets excited a couple times/moves around and then your done. Mine took about an hour (Some only take 10 minutes) because as we already know, Peyton doesn't cooperate for tests. After we woke him up with ice water he did much better and all looks well. :)
Then I saw Dr. M and he looked at my sugar log. They are still a little high for his liking. While he said he wouldn't be concerned at all if it was just me, the fact I'm pregnant makes him want my numbers lower. So I am not on the meds twice a day. I'll go back this coming Thursday for them to do another NST and check my sugar logs. Thankfully, they look way better so far so hopefully that will get me back on track for the rest of the pregnancy.
Dr. M did mention that at the rate seems to be growing, along with the diabetes, there is a chance of induction a week or two early but we all know that could change. All I'm hoping for is a healthy baby boy, even if he is a chunky monkey!
Side-notes:
I am getting super anxious to meet Peyton. I'm pretty giddy over it actually! We sure do love him to death already!
I'm craving so much more now that I literally can't have so many things that I love. Thankfully I have great friends that will provide me sweets once Peyton is out of my belly and in my arms. Until then, I'll admit, I get a tad emotional over not having snacks or sweets when my sugar is high.
