I'm at my glucose tolerance test. They already did the fasting draw and I drank the nasty stuff. They gave me Lemon Crush this time, which initially tastes better than the orange, but now I feel kinda nauseous. FX I pass!

I felt crappy when I took just the 1 hour. Get some protein in you quickly as soon as you're allowed. That will help. Lots of eggs or meat- peanut butter, something like that.
Good luck sstwinklinglites! Did you bring A with you? Is he doing ok with all the waiting?
He is hanging out with E and the twins this morning. A much better scenario than trying to keep him occupied for 3 hours at the dr! I don't think I could've let her do that lol

Finally home. After I picked up babe we stopped at DD for a pick me up. Then when I got home I realized I had grabbed the wrong keys and couldn't get in. H is in Columbus so I had to have management let me borrow a spare to get in. Now I'm ready for a nap. I dozed between blood draws but couldn't get any actual good sleep in.

Hopefully A will nap today since he was up early. Then you can sneak one in too.

I just put him down so we hopefully both nap, and you'd think I was murdering him.

I passed my glucose test. And I was lucky I was even allowed to test. The fasting score is supposed to be below 95, and I got a 95 exactly. But all my other scores came well below where they need to.
I've been in desperate need of some new bras since I weaned Z uhh...forever ago I just couldn't get anything lined up with someone to watch him, so today I decided to just bring him with me. Loaded up a bag with books, toys and favorite snacks and ventured to Hyde Park. As soon as we walked in, they were fabulous. I was so worried I'd get side eyed, but they actually had a basket of toys and books there just for this purpose. I freaking love that store, but didn't realize they carry pregnancy/ nursing bras until today so I hadn't been in a couple of years. Anyway, finally got a couple of new, well-fitting bras and my bewbs are back up on my chest where they belong haha
Glad you passed sstwinklinglites !! JoBub how has it been keeping your numbers in check? Did you figure something out for breakfast/ lunch?
It sucks. I can do it, if I try. But the trying sucks so much. We have a breakfast sandwich maker, and I've been doing bacon/egg/cheese sandwiches, but my after breakfast numbers have still been borderline high, so I think I need to use less cheese or something, which sucks because I don't even enjoy them that much in the first place. And I've been having a really hard time with bedtime snacks. I am always craving fruit at that point, but that doesn't work. The only time I can have fruit is with lunch or afternoon snack. I've done so many diets before and it's never been this hard because I've always been able to eat as much fruit as I want. So it's really hard to wrap my brain around the fact that "healthy" isn't the only criteria for the diabetes diet.

Ugh. That sounds super frustrating and I can't imagine having to limit so much while pregnant
