Gestational Diabetes?

So, I took my "one hour" glucose test on November 25th and also found out I that I gained too much weight during November (keep in mind this was 2 days before Thanksgiving). The nurse called me to tell me that the glucose test came back high... my score was 167 and they like it under 130. Great. So I am going back this Friday to take the long test. I will have to fast on Thursday night and Friday morning and give blood 4 times within 3 hours. Not eating until noon was not a problem 6 or 7 months ago... now it sounds like an impossibility. I'm just hoping I don't faint after giving all of that blood and being so hungry. But I'll suffer through it... it's all worth it for this little baby. Hopefully the test will come back clean and I won't have diabetes. I hear it's not too bad if you do... just prick your finger 5 times a day and stick to a strict diet and exercise plan. That really does take the fun out of being pregnant, doesn't it?

I went and registered last night. That was a lot of work! My mom came with me, which was really nice. I told Allen I'm glad he didn't come... he would have been done about an hour into it. There is so much that you need and so much that you can buy for a baby! And it is all so expensive!!!

I'll be 7 months on Friday. I can't believe how fast this is going now. I remeber it taking forever in the beginning... now I'm worried about having everything done in time for this little boy. (like agreeing on his name) Hopefully next time I post I will have good news about the glucose test.
