Flunked a test for the first time in a long time


Last Tuesday I went in for my regular checkup with my OB and flunked my glucose screening.  They took 4 vials of blood that day and left a nasty bruise to prove it.  SO, I had to miss school on Friday to go do a 4 hour screening where I had to fast for 12 hours before then go have them take my blood 4 times to see how I reacted to a really nasty glucose drink.  Thankfully I passed and don't have to worry about gestational diabetes, but I will say I was worried.  I think I need to lay off the cookies and candy for a while so I don't create a problem for the baby or myself.  I am already gaining more weight than "necessary" so the flunking of the test helped get me turned around -- at least for now.  Matt did buy me a bag of gummy bears that night just in case it was the last candy I got to enjoy until after the baby was born.  I am not sure if I should be grateful or if I should be worried that my hubby didn't quite understand the tenor of the situation.........
