Epic Fail!

SON OF A GLUCOSE!!!!

I failed the 1 hour Gestational Diabetes screening!  Dang!

Now what?

Now they need to do a diagnostic test to see if I actually DO have Gestational Diabetes.  Here are my instructions for prepping for the test:

For the next 3 days, I eat only 5-6 servings of carbohydrates per day.  Fast Thursday night through Friday morning and then head to the Dr.'s Office bright and early Friday morning.  They will do an initial blood draw, then have me drink the sugary solution (Jill and I decided it's "Tang on crack") and draw blood again after 1, 2 and 3 hours!  I'm going to be a regular ol' pin cushion!  :-)  Joy.

We'll keep our fingers crossed for normal numbers!!   :-)
