No, I’m not pregnant… Don’t get your imaginations rolling…<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never truly contemplated having twins or even triplets. Sure, I thought about it but it was totally fleeting. I had my first visit with a Reproductive Endocrinologist<\/a> last month and a follow up this afternoon. After reviewing the 12 VIALS of blood and the Glucose test results, he informed that that even though I have extreme excess weight (yeah he doesn\u2019t sugar coat it), I am quite healthy. I totally got a double thumbs up when I said I\u2019d lost 10 pounds in the last month. I didn\u2019t mention the overall 10\u201d but it might\u2019ve gotten me a full on dance.<\/em> He was actually shocked that all my bloodwork was perfect and that my sugars were on the low side.<\/p>\n

According to a blog by 2 R.N.\u2019s on The Mayo Clinic<\/a> website…<\/p>\n

A normal fasting blood glucose target range for an individual without diabetes is 70-100 mg\/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol\/L). The American Diabetes Association recommends a fasting plasma glucose level of 70\u2013130 mg\/dL (3.9-7.2 mmol\/L) and after meals less than 180 mg\/dL (10 mmol\/L).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My fasting number was 76. My number after the 2 hour glucose test was 116.<\/p>\n

In other words, HELL YEAH!<\/p>\n

But back to the twins thing, my RE wants me to sign a waiver before he puts me on Clomid<\/a> as the risk for multiples increases from 1-2% to 5-12% per pregnancy.\u00a0 He also gave me a bunch of literature to read and said to look up whatever information I can find to educate myself so I know what we\u2019re getting into.<\/p>\n

Adoption is by no means off the table. With Steve starting law school hopefully in the Fall of 2013, babies are on the back burner for the next 3-4 years. There is so much to do during that time including moving to a still unknown state, getting a kick ass job enough to support us both for the bulk of our bills (no pressure there!), supporting him emotionally, financially and everything else while he stresses and freaks over law school and much more. It\u2019ll be a bumpy ride but I know we can get through it. Hell, we got though my MBA during the first 2+ years of our relationship. The major difference is he\u2019s not allowed to work the first year for pretty much any law school.<\/p>\n

So yeah.. that\u2019s just a teeny tiny smidge of what\u2019s in my brain.<\/p>\n

PS- Hi lovelies. If you\u2019re reading this then I greatly appreciate you sticking around in my maaany months of not blogging. Here\u2019s hoping that I will be blogging again on a somewhat regular basis. There\u2019s quite a lot going on and that has been going on to catch you up on.<\/p>\n

While I am writing this for myself, if you still read, can you comment so I know who\u2019s out there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
