UPDATE
So the other week I had to do that fun Glucose test that every Pregnant women has the privilege of doing. It consists of drinking a sugar drink and then waiting an hour at the hospital and then getting your blood drawn. Not fun but I made it through in high hopes that I would pass.
The next day I found out I did not pass and would have to do another test that takes 3 hours. This time I had to fast for about 10-12 hours. I then had to go in and get my blood drawn to make sure it had been long enough. After that I had to drink another sugar drink with twice the amount of sugar then the last one. I wish they would have only had to take my blood one more time but no it was three more, every hour on the hour! Not fun but again I left hoping I had past.
The next day I received a call from the doctors office and they informed me that I had failed the test once again and now have GESTATIONAL DIABETES! Great just in time for the holidays. FUN FOR ME...not so much!
I will be meeting with a Dietitian on Monday but until then I am supposed to watch my carbs and stay within 30-45 a day. I have come to realized that that is not very much and I hope she changes it for my real diet! Pregnant women usually eat a lot you know :)!

Oh no! That is not fun news to hear, i'm sorry! well good job for being brave and getting your blood drawn a gazillion times :) Hope you and little baby bess are feeling ok. Diets are no fun. Food is made to eat right?!
Teresa I am SOOO very sorry!!That test where they make you fast is the WORST!!I hope they let you eat more carbs than that... remind them it is almost Thanksgiving!! (I would dare say that Thanksgiving dinner is FULL of carbs)
Sorry I missed your shower but, I do have something for you (so I need your address) Maybe I should take it back and get a bigger size... you just might be having a 10 pounder too :) (I know not funny)
Gosh I am so sorry to hear that. It wouldn't be too bad but the holidays are going to be tough. It will all be worth it once that little person is in your arms!
Bummer! I've done 40 carbs a day. IT's HARD, but well worth it for your little guy!!
i'm so sorry teresa. i admire your attitude- you seem to be taking it very well.
I'm sorry! It's rough. Try being diabetic ALL the time, and then when you are pregnant it's even more worse. I probably wont say anything that will help, but it will be worth it. If you need any suggestions on kind of "free carbs" let me know. Cheese, eggs, meat, some veggies are free.
I didn't know you are only 1 week ahead of me! I am having my 2nd boy. Congrats!! Hope everything goes well!
I'm sorry to hear that. What a bummer with the holidays so near.
Teresa, that totally sucks! I hated that test, I was shaking all over and starving by the end of it, I was borderline, but not the full out thing. I'm sorry, that rough, and I totally agree with the whole holiday thing, no fun at all.
