WEEK 17

WEEK 17
This week we had another quick scan, ok it wasn't all that quick as our ultrasound tech Karen was trying her best to see the sexes of the babies. But after having just finishing the 3 hour blood glucose test those babies were all over the place. Karen is sure Baby "A" is a boy and she is pretty sure baby "B" is a girl and she thinks baby "C" is a girl but with "A" getting his head in the way and "C" jumping all over she won't lay money down on that one! We have another full 90min scan May 21,2002 so hopefully we will know for sure then...........THANKS KAREN!!
 
Anna did not pass her blood glucose test which mean she now has Gestational Diabetes. So she now has to really watch what she eats and cut down on the carbohydrates which make the blood sugar jump all over the place. She also has to test her blood 5 times a day. If she can control her blood sugar with diet she will not need to take insulin. Our nurse Linda did a great job explaining what we need to do and we feel confident we can get control of this.
