Hello my dear friends!!!

I hope you all are well and having a great week!
Well, today I had another appointment at the hospital because I just found out that I got gestational diabetes a week ago ! On the day I found out was a shock ! Wondering what I have done wrong to have caused this in my pregnancy and I felt all day very bad and guilty...
Thanks to the great accompaniment of professionals here, I was directed to have weekly appointments and have all my meals controlled and everything under control.That made me feel better, calm and super happy to know that I'm able to monitor all alone and so far my glycemic level is under control. Yeaaaaaaay !
For those who went through it , Im open to suggestions and reports of experiences tho!;)
But it was good to know that I'm not alone , since I met several moms who had the same problem and so doctors do not know why this happens, but they do reinforce that is super normal to have diabetes in pregnancy because of our pregnancy hormones that increase and begin to produce insulin in excess .
Yesterday I had to take a vaccine requested here called Whooping Cough , and they recommend that you take during pregnancy for the baby to not get it after born.Whooping Cough is a horrible cough that can happen to the little babies and can cause respiratory failure or a heart attack if we dont have precautions. So when Olivia is born, she will also need to take this vaccine , as well as Daddy Daniel also need.
Everything else is well ... Every time I need to go to the hospital for appointments I come across around 20 pregnant women per day .. some almost delivering , some carrying their little treasures home and some in the same expectation as me. I Must Confess : every time I go there and see those little ones being carried home on those little baskets , I am more anxious and even happier to be closer to knowing my little one !
When we discover , it seems it will take forever to get that long-awaited moment , but when it gets closer we realize that is going so fast , that we wish to come back all over again .
The first movement, the first ultrasound ... its all so unique and so wonderful !
Well, I think there must be many super curious girls out there for the instructions of the Olivia's Virtual's baby Shower that I decided then bring a challenge game for y'all today to start to warm our blog until the instructions come to you guys on Saturday!!!Cant wait!!!
