Sleep? Not enough this week, Stayed up late to watch some new TV episodes this week.

Best moment of this week? Viability !!!!

Worst moment of this week? finding out that I have to go on insulin ( low dose) for gestational diabetes. Dealing with the diabetes education department at the hospital has been  a treat ( NOT ).  My doctor asked that I go "learn" how to give the injection, but I have to get the insulin first. No sooner had I left the hospital grounds and diabetes ed, is calling me to book my appointment. since I was driving I didn't answer, and per doctor instructions I didn't have my insulin yet, so I didn't call her back. The following day, she called AGAIN, while I was in a meeting, so I couldn't answer. She in turn, starts calling my "emergency" contact list( on my hospital profile ) 1st being my husband -- who freaked out when they called, cuz he saw the hospital name and thought I was in the hospital. I sat on it for a day, before I called the nurse in the MFM who referred us over there, and expressed my disgust, and frustration, with diabetes ed ( again ) I said by no means should they be calling emergency contacts to book an appointment. She explained -that her dept receives people by referral also, and they are not allowed to contact the people til the patient contacts them. She said it should be the same over there. I said -- by no means is that happening. Felt good to get it off my chest -- simmering down on making a HIPPA violation complaint. Can keep on the backburner for a bit.

This week's pregnancy-small-talk-gems (aka things other people say to pregnant ladies without thinking):   I had a couple of people out of the blue, ask- are you pregnant - then say,, I know I shouldn't have said that, I should keep  my mouth shut, but just wondering.
