Busy days with my kids home for a weeks holiday, so I seem to be on the move more than usual- that is good! Also trying very hard not to overeat while coping with the slight extra stress of having the kids at home. Its a little more chaotic and messy of course!
I made a huge pot of vegetable soup with lentils and barley for dinner tonight- and for tomorrow. I made enough for quite a few helpings, so my plan is to eat this tomorrow and again lots of fruit.
One of my slight worries at the moment is gestational diabetes.....I don´t have it as far as I know and didn´t with the last two pregnancies, however I have to go for a oral glucose tolerance test for it on Wednesday - recommended by my doctor due to my weight and also the fact that I have had two big babies before- 4.5 kilos and 5 kilos! However, I really hope to get a clean bill of health next week, I would feel dreadfully guilty if my obesity caused a problem for my baby :(.
Next week I also have two other appointments- a meeting with a midwife and also a special ultrasound as well to check on the baby´s size. Will blog more as they occur. However, due to these three appointments and having my blood pressure taken, blood sugar etc, I want to be extra healthy this weekend in case in makes any difference.
