in case you were curious, it stinks. basically i have to eat 6 small meals a day, no closer than 2 hours apart. for the first few weeks, i had to check my blood sugar 6 times a day and pee on a strip every morning. now i am down to 4 times a day and the strip is just once a week. this, according to the doctors, is the best it's gonna get.
on top of that, i have a very limited amount of carbs i am allowed to eat. my 6 meals are 30-30-45-45-45-30 in how many carbs i can have. to put that into perspective, one slice of pizza is around 30 carbs. Half a banana is 15 carbs. With all these beautiful summer fruits, I am going crazy.
BUT--I am almost done. Thank heavens! I am now dilated to 3 cm (as of Monday) and 50% effaced. I keep hoping I will go into labor any moment and it will go super quick and be painless. . . yeah, I know. It's not going to happen. But going into labor any day now just might!
I have another ultrasound on Monday and a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I hope I go into labor on Sunday. :)
