I saw the doctor today. My glucose levels are running higher than the thresholds, but not too high. She suggested wait to start insulin until I've had another week to monitor the numbers. She also was a little concerned that I had not gained any weight in the last two weeks. Luke is measuring between 32-33 weeks, which would match my original due date. That does mean, however, that I'm not showing the growth they expected in the last two weeks as we measured 32 weeks on the 29th of July.
She ran some labs to check my liver function and thyroid levels, just to make sure everything was okay. I have been having dizzy spells that she thinks may be linked to my sugar levels, but wanted to make sure everything else was working okay. My extreme exhaustion is contributed to the fact that Luke is getting everything right now.
On a funny note, apparently the people in charge of my shower at church gave Mom a stack of invitations where there were old invitations mixed in. All of my relatives seem to have gotten the old invitations! They didn't know why they were being invited to a shower that was held in 2004 for someone they didn't know. And she had a girl! Mom will re-do all of the shower invitations tonight!
I've had two wonderful showers so far - one by my coworkers and another by my Miss Alabama friends. I have one set of thank you's done and delivered and will be working on the latest tonight. I'll post more after my next doctors appt. which is scheduled for August 19.
