NORMAL??!!!????

Yesterday I pretty much got kicked out of the perinatologists office. I went in for a consult since I have such a nasty history of diabetes and because I wanted to get the first trimester screening done (ultrasound and finger stick to check for trisomy 13 & 18 and downs syndrome and neural tube defects). All went well, I'll have results in 2 weeks, I think they said. I'm not really concerned about any of those issues, we have no family history of any chromosomal disorders, mostly I wanted to see the baby and make sure everything was on track with my diet.
Do you want to see my baby? Of course you do....

After they reviewed my info, the diabetes counselor pretty much refused to see me since I'm not on any medication and my A1C is 6.0. She said she'd see me after the doc did if he felt a need. So I waited patiently for my ultrasound. It's rather disconcerting to have people know just how bad you have to pee from scanning a probe over your belly...
So the tech and I had fun watching my little acrobat jump around and flail and attack. She got lots of shots and the baby showed us its hands and feet a lot. Two hands, Two feet, Two legs, Two arms. so far looking normal and good :)
Then the doctor came in and checked it out and then talked to me while updating all my info in his computer, every word in effect saying "Get out of here" and "good job" he remembered me from Trevor's high risk overly complicated gestation. I know this because he fixed some errors in the old report, like it said I had "Severe Gestational Diabetes" whereas I actually had Type II diabetes that got worse during pregnancy. He asked for my last A1C, told me I didn't have to take the glucola test and asked how my sugars were running. He LISTENED to me! It was shocking, I went in there all up in arms ready to defend everything, I had food logs printed, blood sugar logs at the ready, old labs in my folder, he asked for no hard evidence and took me at my word (good thing I was telling the truth!) That NEVER would have happened if I were still overweight. It's amazing how differently you get treated when you're healthy.
So my next appointment is with the regular OB in 4 weeks, and my next ultrasound will be the anatomy scan in 8 weeks. And I'm pretty much left to my own devices. I will keep up with my finger sticks to make sure my sugar doesn't start creeping up, because while ecstatic with yesterday's appointment, I'm not an idiot, I know things can change overnight, I remember how my first trimester with Trevor was pretty great sugarwise and then it just went downhill midway through the 2nd trimester.
For now I am normal, I have no higher risk of complication than that of any other healthy weight non-diabetic pregnancy. How freaking cool is that? I'll be needing to give Dr McKenna  a huge hug!
