This doesn't mean that I have gestational diabetes, it just means now I have the priviledge of spending 3 hours of my life next saturday at the u of u hospital lab getting my blood drawn every hour for 3 hours...
I have already started researching the GD diet plans and have decided to pre-emptively change my eating habits and decrease my carbs to help the process along. Ill probably stick to this eating plan for the rest of pregnancy regardless of the results because you eat 6 times a day- little meals and snacks. For me, its really easy to forget to eat because I am so busy with work and a toddler. I have gained alot less weight with this pregnancy than i did with emma, so I am still a little surprised at my results.
It seems like this pregnancy has been full of all sorts of craziness...well as long as Eli arrives healthy and happy in about 10 or so weeks, Ill be a happy mama. We are so grateful for the blessing of having a baby boy on the way...although I can't make any promises about a 3rd child for us at this point ;)
Wish me luck on my test next saturday....I really dont want gestational diabetes and the possibility of a 10+ pound baby! ah!
