Drama Queen

Well, I don't personally think I'm a drama queen but there might be some who have that opinion (namely Louise - thanks for the slippers - and possibly my husband!).

I just got back from the doctor's office and PASSED MY 2ND GLUCOSE TEST!!

Last week I went in for the first glucose test and was shocked when they told me I "failed". First of all, I didn't think I had anything to worry about. I still exercise and eat decently (ok, a few more sweets now....). But secondly I love how they tell you "you failed this test" - what did I do wrong!!! I may have had a tear roll down my cheek when the nurse told me I failed. I think she was a little shocked but then she explained that it's nothing I did or didn't do, it's just the hormones.

So I got to make another appointment for a 2nd glucose test. For this one I had to schedule 3 hours, got to drink twice as much sugar (100 grams of the delicious orange drink), get my blood tested three times AND fast for 12-14 hours before the test. Awesome. The only good part was that the three days leading up to the test you are supposed to either do a carb load OR eat 1 full-size candy bar each day...deal. I can handle that.

I may have been a bit worried that I gave myself gestational diabetes during our peanut butter theme dinner night. Ryan and I brought over peanut butter silk pie...I think it had a few grams of sugar!

Long story short - no gestational diabetes!!! yeah!!!!
