Hope you are all doing well! This thread has slowed considerably, haha! 
little head cold and lots of nosebleeds to go along with it. My vaporizer and I are best friends right now. I gave in and took some Mucinex too, and am downing what feels like gallons of water.
. I am testing my blood 4 times a day. I have not been starving like this since.... well, I can't remember! I feel like milk and pasta are the two foods that make my blood sugar go nuts. Any other carb I do fine with and stay well below limits. I am hating this diet mainly because CARBS were the thing that would make nausea go away or lessen. I told my nutritionist that I'm still puking every day and haven't been hungry really because my stomach hurts or feels queasy. She says, "Well, most women don't have morning sickness after 31 weeks. You should be fine." WTH. Seriously? Yes, I must be making it all up since most women are not sick at 31 weeks. After starting their "diet" though I found myself starving last night and this morning. I did not feel well at ALL but was starving. I took zofran and then was just starving. I wonder if baby is going through a growth spurt? 
Hope you get to see this and that you're doing well!! I totally hear you on the carbs when nausea strikes. I'm sorry to say I don't have any tips as far as diet goes - candy's recommendation for eating protein along with the complex carbs is a very good one. It looks like you're less than a month behind me, and I don't know if this helps, but I can say that I've had some very strange appetites in the past month that have been different than the norm for me. I'm not sure if it's contributed solely to growth spurts - I know this time in the 3rd trimester is when the baby is packing on the fat and doing a lot of growing, so it could be possible. But I would say definitely in the past month that I've been going from not hungry at all and food not being appetizing, to needing to eat, in the blink of an eye. It's like my stomach is so crowded because of the baby and I'm not hungry, but my blood sugar will suddenly just drop and I can tell I need to eat immediately, to the point of even getting light headed really quickly. So maybe the nausea and starving for you is sort of the same thing? I am so sorry though about the GD curveball - I know that makes curbing the nausea with certain foods even harder. I can't commiserate with the sickness, but I can definitely agree that pregnancy is not all rainbows and unicorns - like you, I'm very thankful that everything with the baby has been great so far, but I am having a lot of physical pain these days, and it's hard not to be negative sometimes. I got really down on myself this weekend about all the housework we have to do in preparation for moving after the baby is here - we're trying to get everything organized and gone through before the baby gets here (due date in 5 weeks...), but weekends until then are already being tied up, and our current stash of baby stuff is in a bin and stacks on the floor, without furniture to be put away in or even anywhere in the apartment to go right now. I started getting really bummed yesterday about how I feel like I'm not making any progress or getting anything done, when all I feel like doing is sitting down and resting all day because my back and feet and shoulders and nerves in my rear end (yeah) are killing me whenever I stand or walk. So I hear you on the negativity - my husband had to hold my face and look me in the eye and make me understand that we'll get there and it'll all be alright, and that I need to focus on resting and taking care of myself and the baby first and foremost. I was telling my husband this weekend that I really do think 40 weeks/9 months is the magic number with pregnancy - somehow it is perfect, because baby can grow all it needs to, but thank goodness we're not asked to be pregnant for a whole year or something else. It's like 40 weeks is the max amount our bodies can stand, and we're at the threshold and maxed out and so ready by then - physically and mentally. It's just interesting.
Mainly I just don't want to jinx myself, and my pregnancy is still pretty darn boring, even though I'm huge and in excruciating pain most of the time. Hopefully not too much longer for me!
Prana said:luvthemstrawberries I am due in two days! I'm thinking I'll run over for sure, though. I have things going on, I can feel cramping and an increase in frequency/intensity of BH contractions, but that doesn't mean anything.
I still read and check in, but I'm too lazy to write much of anything.
Thinking of you over the next days!!
I have so many pregnant clients that come in at the very end of their pregnancies and they always say it's the best thing they've done for themselves. Most of the time they just sleep through it, but it's so good to get that rest.

LTS, I'm going to recommend a massage for you, too! In fact, I think we should all go get massages! Glad to hear the head cold is on it's way out.
I really could go for a good massage. Everything is so tense right now. You sound like me with getting things ready - I feel so far behind, haha.
