My little water babbit

So, today I went for my pre-natal appointment, dreading the thought that I would recieve my results back from my gestational diabetes screen and that they would be that I would have gestational diabetes and I would have to stop eating all the sweeties and chocolates and cookies and yum yum christmas treats 7 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS - Ack me.
So do you want the good news first... okay the good news- I can eat all the sweeties and bon bons i want over the holidays because I do NOT have gestational diabetes! Whew!
Bad news - I have a way below normal count of hemoglobin ( red blood cell's and development) The baby is sucking them up like sweeties, so i have to start taking these powerful iron supplements that make your poop hard like rocks and very few and far between, This my friends is harsh, i am little miss regularity when it comes to poops and this may prove to be quite difficult. But on the other hand i get to eat more red meat! YUMMY BEEEF. But wait there is more scary news. My little baby, is believed to be floating in more than normal amounts of amniotic fluid, the dillyo is that the baby is basically peeing so much and creating so much amniotic water - my uterus is going to get streched out trying to empty and dilute it, and I will have a bit of a time getting back on my feet after the big labour day. Also because of this fear of too much water, there is an even bigger fear that the baby will float up high and the umbilical cord will wrap around it's cute little neck and strangle it while in the process of coming to greet its' most terrified and screaming in pain mamma. So *bright side* we get to get more pictures of the baby, bad side I might need a cessarean. Poop - Poop Poopy, ya so I don't really know what else to say except I'm a little freaked out, and my baby better not get hurt, yes the protective mamma bear is coming out......
