Well, I failed.

I took my second 3 hour glucose tolerance test this morning and I failed. I was on the borderline, but that makes no difference. If you fail even slightly you are considered to have Gestational Diabetes. I have to go to a Diabetic Teachings class on Wednesday to get my testing supplies and learn about my new diet. Isn't pregnancy supposed to be the one time you don't have to worry about dieting? Apparently not! So I'll be dieting, pricking my finger 4 times a day, and keeping track of what I eat and my numbers after testing to report back to my doctor. Along with that fun business, I will now have to go for more frequent appointments, sonograms, and will not be allowed to go past my due date...or at least not far past it. My friend Jenny who has been going through all of this as well, has steadily lost weight since starting the GD diet. If I do the same I won't have any weight to lose at all after having the baby. I guess I should be happy about that. I think I'll be having ice cream for dinner tonight.
