Hi guys!!

I have been reading all the messages, and everybody seems to have been very busy. Arshiya and Vinshya, saw your beautiful, beautiful pictures.

Avi, hope the pest control thing is under control. (I am surprised they even asked you to do it knowing you are so far along in your pregnancy.) Did your Dr give you the green signal to get it done??

Priya, how are you?? Hows the diet going?? I have been able to survive on the diet and exercise so far, but the Doc's says insulin now... will know the dose tomorrow. Not too excited about it but you gotta do what you gotta do. My BP has been jumping all over the place as well, and that is beginning to bother the OB, so am on a weekly appointment already.

Thats the update from me. Hope everybody is doing well. Good things are just around the corner (cant believe it!!!!).

Take care!
Rads

Priya replied. I was just wondering about you yesterday....about how you were doing with the diet etc. So far the diet has been working, I think the fist couple of weeks were hard on me...my body just went into shock dealing the miniscule portions of food! Now I have adjusted to it, and don't feel as hungry. I have been supplementing with the high protein bars found in the diabetic section ( also PowerBar has some). These have been very helpful, siince they have high protein content, so I get full. At the same time they have suga alcohols instead of plain sugars, that are digested slowly.
Still sending in diet sheets on a weekly basis. My OB said that if I can control the levels for another couple of weeks, I can stop going to the diabetic center. In the meantime, I have an ultrasound scheduled for next week.
Don't stress too much about the insulin. Its there to help you...and is probably best for the baby. Don't have so much longer to go!
Priya Simmi replied. Hi Radhika. Lovely to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the insulin, but I'm sure things will calm down soon. And the more relaxed you get about things, the sooner the BP will settle. All the best.
Have a good weekend. Nikita replied. Hi Radhika,

Its been real long since we heard from u.
Sorry to hear about ur BP and insulin. Hope u r taking lots of rest and that ur weekly appointments go well.
We r all almost there, just few more weeks and we'll forget about all the pains and problems with that bundle of joy in our arms. Getting more anxious each day.

Anyways, u take good care of urself and stay positive.

Nikita. Ruchika replied. Hi Radhika,

I am really sorry to hear about your BP and insulin. the overall pregnancy is so unpredictable. You get so many surprises time to time.
But you are taking it sportingly Radhika and I like your spirit.
I think I am not at all strong in that way.
Anyways wishing you all the best and its true only little time is left.
Be careful and take lotssa rest.

Ruchika Avi replied. Hey Radhika, where have you been??? haven't seen you in a looong time... you must be busy with work and other stuff...
you are right about good/precious things being so close.. I am excited and nervous too..

Sorry to hear about the insulin, but you said it best.. take it in stride and keep the faith..you BP levels must be stressing u out as well, I hope the doct had given you good suggestions as to how you can control it.. I am glad that they are keeping a close eye on you by seeing you every week.. I am glad you are dealing with it quite well...keep at it for just a few more weeks.. :)

Yeah, the pest control thingy was quite a pain in the behind, but I did nag them (called them a million times) until they gave in to me and decided on using the gel instead of the aerosol spray...

Anyways... you take care.. and keep in touch..

Vindhya replied. Hi Radhika,

I feel it's been ages since I saw your messages. Glad to hear from you.

I am sorry to hear about the insulin and the BP. It's all going to be over in a few weeks.... Even I can't believe we are almost there.

Hope you are taking lots of rest and hope your weekly appointments go well too.

Thanks for liking the picture, hope to see yours soon.
