I went for my sugar test this morning at 7:45 and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. They said if I didn't hear anything back from them, that the test was fine. They would only call if my sugar was elevated. I fasted so all I had was 2 bottles of water since the night before. I went to see the doctor while I waited to get my blood drawn. I hadn't gained any weight since last month and everything was well with the baby's heartbeat and with my blood pressure. I asked the doctor (didn't get to see my regular doctor) if I could continue with my spin classes and exercising and she said yes, that the more I exercise the better and quicker recovery time would be. She said the cardio was good for me so I'm good to go now with that. They told me when I went to get my blood drawn after an hour that I couldn't have anything sweet for the rest of the day. I thought "that isn't good" seeing that we were celebrating a birthday at work and I was surely looking forward to that cake when I got back to the office. She said that since I had so much sugar with that test that it would make me sick. Well I held out until about 2:30 and I couldn't do it any longer and I had a small piece of cake. I had eaten alot of protein through the day so I think that helped.
Well, about 4:10 the phone rang and there they were calling me. My sugar was elevated and I have to diet for 3 or more days and go back for the 3 hours test. You know I really in the back of my mind knew that was going to happen. So now no more sugar for me. Any what have I been craving the last two days ???? Reese Cups. Guess I won't get them huh? Oh well it is what it is and I will deal with it. Maybe after this test it will be fine and if not I only have 11 weeks to deal with it.
So that was my day. I have to go next Tuesday at 7:45 for the 3 hour test. That will be worst I believe because you have to fast and then you can't have anything to eat or drink the 3 hours you wait to get the blood drawn. I will be sick. I believe I'm going to take the day off work because they won't be able to stand me anyway and it sure sounds like a good reason to take off too.

Oh no! I'm sorry you have to go back for the 3 hour test... maybe that will be it and you won't have to worry with that even more. How brutal you have to fast from sugar over Labor Day weekend!! :(
Yeah I'm not looking forward to it but I will deal with it.
Hang in there, girl, you'll do great!
YUCK!!! That 3-hour test is what I had to do. I had to be there at the crack of dawn and every time I'd doze off, they'd wake me up and it'd be time to stick me again.
11 WEEKS??? WOW!!! Yours is starting to fly by. Don't you worry!! If you can't have sweets, we'll load you up in the hospital room after Caylee arrives. :)
Yeah it will be fine - I will definetly make up for lost time on the sugar but don't want too much - it might keep Caylee Grace up all night too.
Good luck with the three hour test! I am sure it will be fine!
