Not So Cool, Again
Well, the not-cool news continues... I do have gestational diabetes. I don't think it's a huge deal, though; from what I have read and heard it's just a matter of watching what you eat (who wants to do that when you're pregnant?! Pregnancy is for late night pickle and ice cream snacks!) and testing your blood sugar. So I don't think that will be a huge deal, except of course for the whole I crave fudge bars all of the time (pretty sure those WON'T be on my diet plan). And I'm borrowing a meter from a friend at church who also had gestational diabetes, so I don't even have to buy it, which is super. And it's really probably a good thing because now I have to watch what I eat and I (hopefully) won't gain as much weight. Maybe I won't be as tired if I have my blood sugar under control, too... but that may be totally unrelated. Anyway, just thought I'd update you, since I know everyone was waiting on the test results. I go in sometime shortly to talk with someone about how to take care of it... so, one (maybe two) more doctors appointment(s) (oh, joy, because the 2 I have in the next week isn't enough!) and a healthier diet. I can handle that.

Well, shoot. Too bad. I ate so many sweets, especially fruit and juices. I guess you can sacrifice for a short time though, I mean for the good of the baby. Elena is way more important than fudge bars! Keep us posted.
