29 week appointment

I had a little check up yesterday, thankfully everything looks great! For the most part im kicking butt with the diabetes.( Except the weight gain, nothing again this week!) But, My numbers are almost always low, occasionally my body processes something weird and it jumps up a little. She said because of the gestation they expect that to happen and they will bump up the meds, but nutritionally im doing perfect!
The doctors are requiring jason and I, our parents, siblings and any other friends and family members who plan to spend a good amount of time with the babies- to get a vaccination. Its called DTaP and now its becoming such a big deal any doctor or health department will have it. Its basically a booster of the vaccines you had plus prevents pertussis. Which essentially is whooping cough. But for an adult it can seem just like a nagging cough and for a baby, especially multiples with weakened immune systems- it can become as serious as causing brain damage or death. So as you can guess im going to be pretty strict about it. Its just not a huge deal to get a shot to protect them. You have to get it a couple weeks before they come (or your around them) and can't be around me for 48 hours after. Pretty simple precaution! 
They are moving a ton all the time which is awesome.  You can see it from the outside sometimes,  its crazy!
Now that im on a limited diet and can't eat anything bad, I have the hugest craving for a cinnabon! I could totally eat a whole big one! Yum!! And quit frankly I could really use the calories ;)
I feel so tired always  from all the broken sleep,  but im not complaining. Thankful I don't have to work right now! Ive decided all women should get the majority of their pregnancy off work! (Thankully there are companies like Aflac, or i would of never been able to- and then what would of happened!!)
I can't believe im almost 30 weeks! It is exciting! An other month or so and they are really going to be here!! YAY!!
