time's a-wasting..

i failed my glucose test. yes, that's right, i failed it (well, only by 2 points). i really don't understand how blood sugar works apparently because i really thought that i'd be ok. yeah, so it's in my family like crazy, but i always thought that as long as i wasn't overweight i'd be ok. apparently, i needed some education.

so, i'm back in the waiting room of the doctor's office. today is my 3 hour glucose test. i got here at 8:45 (after not eating or drinking anything after midnight last night) and they took a tube of blood. then i drank this super sweet fruit punch and have to have my blood drawn every hour for 3 hours. i've completed the first hour and have about 15 minutes left in the second. then another hour before they stick me again. apparently i have to pass 2 out of the 3 sugar tests, otherwise i'm a gestational diabetic. i'm still not sure what that means...apparently my one coke a day will have to be given up. it's just not fair...

this stinks. i'm getting really sleepy and i'm STARVING!!! what's worse is that i have a yummy whole wheat bagel slathered in peanut butter that husband made me this morning sitting in my purse. but i can't eat it... not for another 1.5 hours... ugh.

i guess the good news is that i won't get the results until monday at the earliest, so this weekend bring on the cupcakes, funnel cakes, chocolate chip cookies, and coke... who knows when i'll get to enjoy you again...
