Well, I have been coasting through this pregnancy so far with no issues so of course, I was due any day to hit a bump in the road. That bump came this past Thursday when I went in for my diabetes test. I drank a shot of the delicious orange concoction they provided me with and waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, after an hour passed, the nurse called me in to check my glucose levels. She told me they want the number to be below 151. As she busied herself with paperwork, I stared at the monitor waiting for a number to pop up. Finally it did….162. Ugh, are you kidding me? I felt like I had been having such a healthy pregnancy and then this happens. So now it’s on to the 3-hour blood glucose testing on Wednesday which I am to eat a high carb diet for three days prior. I think I may use this opportunity to indulge my taste buds in a Big Apple bagel – you can’t get much more high carb than that! Aaaahhh…doctor’s orders! Unfortunately, I think I sabotaged myself last night and made a batch of monster cookies that I now must try to avoid for the next two days. I’m sure they are high carb but when your glucose levels are being tested, I would assume cookies (with chocolate chips and M&M’s I might add) probably aren’t the smartest choice? And why haven’t they figured out a simpler way to do this re-test thing than a 3-hour procedure? I perused the shelves at Borders over the weekend in hopes I could find something to keep me entertained for those three hours and I wasn’t able to find even one book that caught my interest. Doesn’t Sophie Kinsella have another shopaholic tale to write about?? Anyways, just when I had resigned myself to three hours of pure boredom, my Dad came to the rescue and offered to sit with me and keep me company! He’s so sweet! Please say prayers for me and baby that everything goes well!!
On another note, congratulations to my friends Vicki and Megan who just had babies in the past couple of days! I’m so happy for them and seeing their joy makes me even more excited for June when I get to meet my little one!!
