hmmm, I didn't realize that, I was just hoping they'd live until next year, didn't even think of the possibility of them taking over. Although, a backyard of berries would be kind of awesome. Now, I'm really going to have to think about where we plant them and how.
I didn't have GD last time but (according to the midwives I used with my last pregnancy) I'm at a higher risk for it because I'm overweight and both my parents have diabetes (my dad is diet controlled and my mom takes insulin - and both her parents have/had it). They made me do the test around 10 weeks and then again at 26 or 28 weeks so that was just annoying. Both times I passed perfectly fine. This time around, at my first appointment they wanted me to do it again around 8 weeks because of my "past history" I pointed out that I didn't have it in my prior pregnancy so wouldn't that be my "past history"? The midwife started arguing with me and that was one of the big reasons I ended up changing to my current midwife who I'm much happier with. I guess I'm also more worried because my sister was fine with baby #1 and then with baby #2 she had GD. I know that doesn't mean anything for me, just another thing to make me worry I guess. I was also doing really well weightwise and by 20 weeks had only gained 2lbs. In the past 6 weeks, I've gained another 11. So, that sucks. Forced exercise and healthy eating really wouldn't be the worst things in the world, it's really the thought of needles that freaks me out. At least it's summer so good veggies will be plentiful - although giving up sweet fruits would stink.
