Wohoo

When getting called back by the nurse to get my vitals I made sure to ask her to double check if my lab results from Saturday were in my chart.  they werent so they put me in a room to wait for the dr and for the results.  Let me just say Bo did great the whole time, he loves being out where there are lots of people so it was good for him.  So I saw the dr and she went back out to check on the test results after checking my measurements and for the baby’s heart beat, a strong 150 as it always is.    She came back in with someone, I’m guessing at this point another nurse.   She gave me my rhogam shot and then said she’d give me a prescription for iron since I was anemic.  I was waiting not so patiently for the rest of the results, they had done a RH Screening, thus the need for the rhogam, and a CBC along w/ the glucose test.  So two out of three results went well dont you think? So then the clincher, you failed.  Normal values are under 130, mine was a whopping 183.  No need for the 3 hour w/ that score and my history with needing insulin.  and I was worrying about having to convince them not to do the three hour, they needed no convincing.  I now have an appt set for this upcoming Monday w/ my endocronologist about my thyroid and now my diabetes.    Until then I have to try to remember my diet from last time and start checking my sugar 4 times a day.   This past week I’m being eating chocolate like crazy, I’m sure in part because I knew the end was in sight, but as I think more about it I am so unprepared for this.  For having to alter my diet so drastically.  it’s gonna suck but the 3rd time around should be easier than the 1st two times right?

we are getting together with our life group tonight, always lots of good food there but looks like I’ll be analyzing what I’m eating too much to enjoy.  Luckily I am making a spinach lasagna so I know I can at least enjoy some of that.  it will probably fill my carb and sugar needs for dinner but oh well, I could always just start the diet after I see the endo but for the sake of the baby I will do my best.  that and to avoid insulin as long as possible.  well I need to feed Bo lunch and figure out something I can eat.   both should be fun…
