Well, another thing that comes along with being a plus size mama is the possibility of having gestational diabetes. Two weeks ago, I went for my my glucose test. I had to drink this nasty orange sugary drink and wait an hour. After the hour was up I had to give them some blood and they would call me within a few days for results. Well, they called me the next day and said it was abnormal so they wanted to do a three-hour glucose test. So last week, I had to eat before 8:30pm the night before and drink plenty of water. I went in at 8:15am the next morning and they took my first of four rounds of blood then made me drink the drink again. This time it didn't want to go down as well, but I drunk every drop. Every hour I went back in there for them to draw my blood three more times and then finally got to leave and grab some lunch.

Well today I got a call from my results last week and they we're unfortunately abnormal again =/ bummer, but that's okay. I kind of figured if I we're to get pregnant at this weight it might happen plus I've had the last two weeks to kind of digest that I might actually have it. They referred me to a diabetics class where they'll teach me how to prick my finger and check my blood (which I already know from Nic's scare he had a few years ago) and also tell me the foods I should be eating.

I do know one thing though. . .

They won't ruin my Thanksgiving or Christmas! ;)



P.S. -- we're 28 weeks which equals 7 months today!
