-15 weeks...Start panicking.

As I write this, I'm having a slight anxiety attack. A Xanax or glass of wine would be much appreciated, but since those two options are not good ideas right now, I'll just write it out.

There are 15 weeks until this baby comes. And that's if it doesn't come early. 105 days. And in that 105 days, there are 4 major holidays. Including Christmas. In that amount of time, we have to get a nursery ready, a birth plan made, Christmas presents done...It's starting to feel overwhelming. Jimmy just told me to stop thinking about it.

This weekend we have our birthing class and Monday is full of doctor's appointments, including the dreaded glucose challenge. I'm on the fence about it. I'm not too worried because I haven't gained a lot of weight, yet I've definitely been craving and eating more carbs than I did prepregnancy. Almost every day I want something sweet. We went to CiCi's the other day and their dessert options were just incredible to me. I try not to keep a lot of sweet things around the house, but I did break down and make chocolate chip cookies this week. What's frustrating is that there are few clear indicators/risk factors for gestational diabetes. I'm making lists of questions for the doctor, for the birth class, and everything else I feel like has to be done. Hopefully that will help with the anxiety.

This week, so far, counts were good: 423 on Monday, 475 on Tuesday. I go back tomorrow. I'm hoping my numbers will be below 400 so I can get my shot.
