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.........
