So I failed...

...the one hour glucose test and had to complete the three hour glucose test today. The test checks to see if you have gestational diabetes. Apparently, I am at higher risk for this because I am carrying two babies...something about two placentas doing something...I don't know, I tuned the nurse out because I was freaking out about drinking more of the nasty concoction they give you.

I made it through. They drew my blood at 8am, then I drank the 10 oz. of yuck. At 9:15, 10:15 and 11:15 they drew my blood again. I was worried I would get sick or pass out because I also was not allowed to eat for 12 hours before. Mom came and sat with me so I wasn't too bored. Then we went to Dewey's afterwards and pigged out! It was so good! I had not eaten since 9:00pm the night before so I could have eaten my own hand at that point.

Test results will be back tomorrow. If I have gestational diabetes I have to follow a strict diet and monitor my blood sugar every day. Other than that, I have not educated myself on other ramifications, etc. I am trying to not worry too much about it until I have to because chances are I won't need to at all!
