So. . . I was feeling pretty well off. . . WAS. . . This morning one of my biggest pregnancy fears came true. My glucose test came back "slightly elevated" (4 points out of the good range) and they want me to come in for another one. Ugh. My family has diabetes, I have some of the "susceptible" signs, and obviously my optimal BMI and I aren't best friends--in fact, we stay as far away from each other as possible. I started getting extra dizzy a few days ago--I almost called Robert at school to let him know I might faint--so I kind of figured the glucose test might not go well. At least the baby's probably okay. I just want to be able to drink as much orange juice as I want without getting dizzy--and I'm already a fainter.
Okay, Complain, Complain, Complain. . . I was bound to get diabetes some day--might as well be now. I'm not even sure I have it yet. I shouldn't freak out right now. I'll freak out Monday--I'll probably know by then.

2 things- I think gestational diabetes is common and goes away after pregnancy. 2nd, your picture looks so cute!!!
Thanks. . . I think you're right, but it puts you at higher risk for other pregnancies and then regular diabetes later on, and I am already high risk for that.
Think good thoughts. We will be praying for you.
Oh ali, I'm sorry Maybe the next test will go better! Keep up the good work you look GREAT!! :)
