I'm heading to Seattle for work next week and starting to get low level anxious. I hate how all of my professional clothes fit at the moment so anything above business casual is going to be a challenge (its supposed to be a biz casual dress code but I usually like to be a little fancier than the baseline). I'm there for a 5 day seminar that will involve long stretches of sitting which I am finding more and more uncomfortable. On the positive side I am excited not to have to do bedtime/get kids ready for school/make dinner for a whole week. I'm sure it will be exhausting anyway but in a different way.

I’d be screwed if I had to dress up for 5 days! I hope you find some clothes that are comfortable and cute!

kam3100 any update on the 24 hour urine collection? Hope all is well. Not yet. I turned it in yesterday morning and I’m not sure how long it should take to get results. For now I’m trying to stick with ‘no news is good news’. But I have been checking the portal obsessively:) Thank you for checking up on me.

I am exhausted today. I don't think I slept for more then an hour at a time last night. And when I was awake, I couldn't stop thinking about everything I need to get done

We'll add me to the club of GD😫 It turns out my baseline and 1hr draw passed but I failed my 2 and 3hr. So now I'm going to have to go to a class and learn about diet and how to check my sugar. I was a little surprised that I failed since I passed the 3 hr with DS.

OMG, the chin hairs! Ew! I knew being hairy was a pregnancy thing, but chin hairs?! I've plucked two so far and I don't seem to notice them until they're long enough (like an inch) to tickle me. 😨 I've had them since my first pregnancy. They never stopped popping up. 😒 and I swear they grow an inch over night.

Love your attitude! Also why do we live in Phoenix? I’m over this summer already 😂 I've been over summer since January, when it was in the 80s hahahahaha. This place is not fit for human habitation. 106 in early May is ridiculous. T&ps to y'all in that heat! And sorry about the GD! I hope diet is enough to control it and I agree with the other ladies, you have a great attitude about it. Also, yay for the chiro helping so much!

I had a busy day yesterday shopping with my bff. I returned a bunch of clothes I ordered from target and bought a new dress.
While changing in the fitting room ds says "I see your booty and your penis!" I laughed so hard and could hear the other lady in there giggling. 😂 This kid. Funny thing is, I wasn't even naked I had shorts and a bra on still.

Also, the Target baby registry welcome bag was pretty good.
I got:
a bunch of coupons (including a 50% off 1 drink at Starbucks!) a trial size Aveeno wash and dove wash 2 Honest diapers and a back of 10 honest wipes 2 target diapers 1 pampers diaper and a pack of 6 wipes 1 Nuk paci 1 Dr browns bottle 1 avent bottle
I wanted to try the honest diapers/wipes and needed 1 or 2 more bottles, so I was excited!

I'm sorry cornflakegirl When I had GD with DS, I was able to control it with my diet and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The finger pricking kind of sucked, but it was manageable.

My 3.5 year old is possessed this morning. She didn’t like how I did her hair. So she started acting up. So I started taking privileges away because she wasn’t ‘making good choices’ and it got to the point of a total meltdown from her. The good news? My blood pressure is still normal.

notmoose - How did you score the Target welcome bag? I made a registry online and when I went to target I just asked at guest services. They didn't ask to see the registry or my name, just handed me the bag. My sister went in and asked and they mailed hers to her though, so I assume it varies by location.

The last two nights I've been waking up on my left side. Only my body pillow is on my right side. Lol, I guess I will switch it to the left side of the bed. My back wasn't very happy this morning.

cornflakegirl, I'm 90% sure I took the 3hr with DD, but I know I passed. Here for commiseration.

I am always flipping around. I know sleeping on the left side is the best, but I probably spend the least amount of time on that side. When I first go to bed I HAVE to fall asleep on my back. Then when I wake to pee the first time, I go back to sleep on my left. At some point I go to my right side.

I was a little surprised that I failed since I passed the 3 hr with DS. Sorry to hear you are joining us too. One of the contributing factors to GD is age, so after getting it with my first, I knew I was pretty much destined to have it in subsequent pregnancies. If I’d had my first baby at 20 instead of 36, I probably wouldn’t have had to deal with it, lol.

Family member with Type 2 diabetes? Brother. Previous baby with a weight of 9lbs or more? DD was right at 9. It was destiny lol.
