Donuts, Cake, Cookies, Pie, Etc.

Those are examples of the foods I'm not supposed to eat anymore. It's funny how much you want things when you find out you can't have them! I failed my glucose tolerance test today after griping all morning long to Karl about how silly it was that I was having to take this test because I was sure I didn't have gestational diabetes and asking a pregnant woman to not eat anything after midnight until at least 11:00 in the morning was a form of torture. My mood was lovely! However, I did get a little chipper when the nurse said if you pass the first 3 tests, then you could leave and not do the last one. I passed the first two, and even said to Karl before the third one that "it was in the bag". Well, my level on the third was the exact number that it was supposed to be less than. The nurse said maybe the doctor would still let me go though. No such luck. My fourth test wasn't close to passing, so then we had to wait to talk to the doctor about gestational diabetes. I felt like a failure. Tomorrow morning I have a meeting scheduled with the diabetes person about my new diet; however I prefer to call it a "special eating plan" because I despise the word diet. ;)
