Major weight gain = early glucose testing

Welp, my doc wasn't very happy with me during our last visit with her. She wasn't very happy with the weight I've gained since I've been pregnant. WHOOPSY! She did not buy the 'I just got back from vacation' excuse. So she asked me to take an early glucose test. I remember looking over at Josh and we both had the hand-in-the-cookie-jar guilty looks on our faces. Well I think it's also safe to say that's what got me in to this mess in the first place. Too many sweets for this girl! 🙊 I never used to crave sweets when I was pregnant with Brandon. This pregnancy has been so completely different in every way. More bad than good I'm sad to say. Oh well, I'm still trying to enjoy this pregnancy as it may be my last one (according to josh). 

I went in this early morning just to get it over with. I'm a very superstitious person, so I fasted again this time even though it's not asked that you do and I even picked the same flavor drink as last time. I was trying to get luck on my side as much as possible! As I was sitting there trying to pass the time by reading my book, I had this nervousness inside me that got worse as time passed. I also began feeling nauseous ugh! It doesn't take much for me to feel nauseous nowadays. Nausea has been my biggest problem this time. It's pretty intermittent and will usually go away before I feel the need to hurl! Although there has been a hand full of times when i had to visit the toilet boo! I'm really trying to soldier up since my second trimester is quickly approaching and I just don't want to be that whiney pregnant chick. 

Anyway, I just received my glucose test not to long ago and I am so happy to say that I PASSED! I still have to take the standard one when I get into my 3rd trimester, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there! But for now 'Let them eat cake!' 😉
