I've delayed posting today because I have been (impatiently) waiting the results of a test I took this morning. A test that I was terrified of failing--and yet knew that no amount of studying or preparation for it would help improve my odds.
But, I'm happy to say that after twelve hours of fasting, one incredibly concentrated sugar drink, and four blood draws, I do not have gestational diabetes. Thank goodness. I mean, I know tons of women are diagnosed with it and it really isn't that big of a deal, but I would have had some serious difficulty cutting way back on my carbs (and, of course, sugar!)--especially with Valentine's Day and Easter still ahead before my due date. Way glad to have dodged that bullet :)
