30+ Weeks

Last Friday was the 30 week mark, and i have to say is OMG 10 weeks left! It's crazy to think how close we are. At 36 weeks we have to install the car seat and pack our hospital bag. It seems so close. I can't wait, I'm so excited.

Baby Shower Charleston - Livvy, Nat, and Kit are planning my baby shower. The invitations went out last week and they look amazing. I have a copy of one in my photo slide show on the side of my blog. I'm so excited about it. Natalie and Trace are coming down from Boston, and I haven't seen Nat since Christmas and haven't seen Trace since May!

Gestational Diabetes - I am doing pretty good so far. I'm really hungry at times, but it's getting better. I found a pasta that is only 42 carbs per cup so i mixed that with some low carb sauce, veggies, and some chicken. It seemed to work fine. We have also been eating a lot of shrimp. The biggest problem I have run into is cheese. I really shouldn't have cheese b/c of the constipation factor, but you can only cut out so many foods! I have to find good lunch ideas that don't involve cheese. I have to plan better. I do like salad's with the right dressing but they take a lot of prep time. I'm getting there though. Dave grilled me up some chicken last night that should last me the entire week. I can put it over salad or make a sandwich. I even just added veggies and brown rice one day and that worked out fine. I need more ideas and to keep a running list so i don't panic. It's funny, i mean really, I can't have deli meat b/c I'm pregnant, I can't have cheese b/c i'm kinda lactose intolerant, I can't have pancakes b/c of the GD...i'm a mess! haha
