Continuing my trend of failing pregnancy blood tests, I didn't score well on the aforementioned glucose tolerance test. I came back around 130-something, and anyone with a score over 130 has to go for a super-awesome, not-annoying-at-all three and a half hour test. So Thursday morning at 7:30, I'll be at the lab. This time I get to get my blood taken after fasting all night, then I get to drink the gross orange stuff again and get my blood taken, and then three more times (once each hour). AWESOME.
I have already done some research on gestational diabetes, and know a couple of people who have had it. Seems like I would have to do a major diet overhaul (what? my carbs and sugar diet isn't working?) and test my blood a few times a day to see how things are going. Sometimes insulin gets involved, but I think that if it's really bad. Not sure. I'm going to take this one one day at a time.
But I did get to wear a cute tank top that my cousin lent me today, so that's cool.

Well hey, if you get to wear a cute tank top... by the way, any new belly pictures? Those of us who don't see you everyday might like to behold the belly.
You know, I'm getting a little fatigued of your overachiever mentality. Sigh. MUST you go on and on and just be different with ALL of your tests? Jeez. What an attention whore. I knew we were friends for a reason.
