the cats out of the bag

I finally told my board today that we are expecting! I wanted to wait until I was far enough along, and it was such a relief to be able to tell everyone!

On a medical note, I went in on Monday for routine bloodwork. Well...they didn't tell me that it was a glucose test. Of course, I failed. My sugar was 137...which really isn't that bad, but is still over the top limit of 120.

So sadly, I have to do a 3 hour glucose tolerance test next thursday, and have to follow a special diet 3 days prior to that. I'm not at all looking forward to the diet, or the 3 hours with mulitple blood draws. But...it's all for a good cause!

I'm just hoping that I don't fail the 3 hour test too badly. I don't want to be qualified as gestiational diabetic or have to take any medication or insulin. I'll keep you posted!
