Fail.

I had my glucose test this morning (check to see if I have gestational diabetes).  I failed.  As the nurse said I didn't fail by much.  What this means is I have to go to a local lab and have a full GTT test (I have no idea what that stands for, but it's the same testing, but done over 3 hours rather than just 1 hour).  I've scheduled it for Thursday morning.  I have to be there at 7:00 a.m.!!!  I could have done it tomorrow, but with my work schedule I'm not able to make it in and to fast 2 days in a row is just crazy talk.  :)  The nurse recommended I watch my sugar and carb intake....watch my what and what intake?  SERIOUSLY!!  You want me to DIET!!?!  UGH.  hahaha!!  So, not only did I fail, I gained 7 pounds which puts me at a 14 pound weight gain.  I've been hitting the 3-4 pound mark every appointment which is P.E.R.F.E.C.T.  7 pounds = not perfect = not good.  Let's be honest though, my extra weight gain and failed glucose test are clear signs I'm eating way too many sweets.  My BP wasn't so bad at 120/84, and it was only that high because I had skipped my morning BP pill since I was fasting (although, I think they would have allowed me to take it I just had forgot to ask about it).

Of all days I got offered cookies twice and peanut butter fudge once.  I LOVE PB fudge, but kindly passed along with both offers for cookies.  If they had asked me yesterday I would have gladly said yes to all 3.  Anyway, the nurse said it's likely I will pass this next round of testing, but obviously I'm still taking this seriously.
