I gave birth this past Thursday , a day away from being 38 weeks. Had a c section scheduled for the 10th. I was truly struggling, starving & unhappy with this diet. Didn’t know how much longer I could handle it and then went into labor Wednesday night around 11pm , went to the hospital Thursday morning & had baby girl that night. THANK GODDDD. I have ate so many yummy carbs, sugars & things I was just genuinely craving and life feels good again. Goodbye cheese sticks, goodbye hard boiled eggs & GOODBYE to gestational diabetes it’s been hell. Can’t wait for all of you to make it out with your babies.

Also - GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE to those damn FINGER POKES 🙌🏻✌🏻

My son is 19 months. I feel like the first year of his life was incredibly easy and after he turned 1 it just started getting progressively worse. He does a lot of good things & watching him grow and learn has been amazing. I love seeing his developing personality but oh my god… the tantrums, the biting, the scratching the hitting. Always having to make sure my eyes are glued to him because it feels like everyday he is learning some new dangerous thing that he can do. He doesn’t understand that things he does can hurt others or himself & I know that’s normal. I’ve been reading apparently it gets better once they’re 2 and can understand things a lot more. Please tell me that’s true because this is too much. His new obsession is the refrigerator and if I don’t open it he screams, if I open it he just stares at everything in there. If I offer him stuff he doesn’t want anything. When he takes what I offer him he just throws it onto the floor. If I close the fridge it’s an immediate meltdown that results in him trying to bite me with all of his strength. I am about to give birth to my 2nd in 2 weeks and I have absolutely no idea how I’m going to survive this. I am so fucking scared.

I failed my 3hr glucose test yesterday and got my diagnosis today. I am so upset that I have this… the only bright side I can see is that I’ve been saying for years that I need to change my diet without ever making any real changes & now I’m forced to 🥲. I think the hardest thing for me will be the 3 meals & 3 snacks everyday because tbh I don’t eat breakfast usually I’m busy rushing out the door for work with a toddler. I snack throughout the day (bad habit) & now suddenly I’m supposed to have this perfect schedule where I’m eating breakfast lunch and dinner everyday…. Anyone relate does it get easier cause right now it’s hard to stay positive 🙃🥲
