Gestational what?

Yesterday I had my blood glucose test at the hospital. This is my second test so far and it was equally as unpleasant as the first! You have to show up on an empty stomach and drink about 8 ounces of this horribly sugary sweet orange solution then sit there for an hour before they draw your blood. The sugary sweet liquid made Baby Duggan go crazy and kick up a storm! Well today I got a phone call from the Dr. that my glucose levels were super high and while this doesn't mean I have gestational diabetes quite yet, it isn't a good sign. So... I have to go back next Thursday and do a more intensive 3 hour test that I have to imagine involves more yucky glucose juice and more pricks and prods. Of course I immediately hung up with the Dr. and googled gestational diabetes and now I am freaked out and a little scared. I have been working out and eating so healthy lately and while it's no secret I LOVE chocolate, I have been limiting my intake and trying to be smart about everything I put in my body.

Well, I am not going to worry about anything until the Dr. tells me to, but I am going to continue to watch what I eat and be really strict about the sugar intake. Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted!

Kevin and I are off to Atlanta where it looks to be beautiful! We'll blog with updates and photos from Hot'lanta!
