Bye-Bye Nerds Rope, Milky Way and Reese's...

Well, it was bound to happen. The sugar train has pulled out of the station, and I've been refused boarding. The results of my 3 hour Glucose Tolerance test are in and they are not good. The doctor told me that I failed 3 of the four blood tests, which means that I have gestational diabetes. So, no more Nerds Rope for me. It's a damn shame, too, because I love those gummy, crunchy, sweet and tangy things....

On a serious note, this is very troubling to me. The doctor reassured me that it is common and that I shouldn't worry, and even said that typically women with gestational diabetes return to "normal" as soon as the baby is born, but I am still pretty freaked out. And unhappy. And I want a chocolate milkshake.

So, I'll have to control my diet for the next few months, and chances are good that Baby Max will be pretty darn big and that I will end up having a c-section. Once a dietition finally contacts me and I get in to talk to someone, I'll feel better I'm sure.
