Much Better Day!

Well as promised, here is the update......

I went back to the doctor this morning, 5/18, and they pricked my finger then I had to drink an even sweeter version of the flat orange drink...yuck. Just for those who do not know...you have to drink that stuff at 8:30 in the morning on an empty stomach, talk about gross! Then I had to wait an hour and they pricked my finger and the reading was in the normal range, then I had to wait another hour and again they pricked my finger and again it was normal and then I waited yet another hour and they pricked my finger one final time and it was normal as well. So, everything is fine!! They said it could have been something that I had eaten the night before that made my blood sugar higher on the inital test last week.

I cannot tell you how relived I am to know that everything is okay. I was so upset and I must admit a little embarrassed....I am not really sure why since there is really no way to prevent gestational diabetes. It can happen to any pregnant woman. I think the reason I was so upset about it was because I have been so careful about what I eat. That is not to say that I haven't wanted to eat everything in sight! You hear people talking about having cravings, but no one prepares you for just wanting to eat everything you see. It has not been so much about craving this or that as it has been about all food looking fantastic! However, it has been a lot easier to make healthy food choices when I think about the little life that is growing inside of me. What I do for him now is dramatically effecting his current health and how prepared he will be for life out here with us!

Okay, sorry, got on my soap box....I will go now! Thanks for all of the prayers!
