*They did end up diagnosing me with gestational diabetes. So far it's not too bad. I have to check my blood sugar four times a day and watch what I eat. My doctor did tell me that because I did develop it so early that later on I may have problems controlling it. Hopefully when we reach that point that doesn't become the truth because I REALLY don't want to go on insulin shots (I'm terrified of needles, I'd never be able to poke myself daily)
*This Monday I had my appointment and ultrasound with the genetic counselor. She told me that my chemical pregnancies were more than likely caused by the PCOS and not the MTHFR. She told me that I really don't need to worry about the MTHFR, which is a good weight off my shoulders. This also means that down the line I'll be more willing to try for another child. After finding out about the MTHFR I had flat out told J that I didn't want anymore children after this.
*Even though I was just shy of 17 weeks when they did my ultrasound on Monday they were still able to tell me the gender of the baby :) I bet y'all wanna know what it is don't you?? I'll post the ultrasound pictures next and see if you can guess ;)
*Sad news: J left on deployment again on Valentine's Day (yes, Valentine's Day...crappy huh?? Why they couldn't wait one more day I have no idea). He'll be gone for a good while, like seven or eight months. That's the normal deployment length in the Navy. I'm very sad because he's missing out and he won't be able to come home for the birth.
Well I think that about wraps it up. I'm not making any promises this time because I suck at keeping up with my blog right now, but we'll see what happens. I miss talking to you girls!!
