3 hour GD test tomorrow- wish me luck!

Heather&Shaun

So, I failed the one hour with a score of 176.  I cried like a baby for the rest of the night, even though I know that it's not really anything I did to fail the test, but just my body not working like it should.  Still, I felt like I'm not being a good mom already.

So, I now have my 3 hour test scheduled for tomorrow morning.  I'm hoping they have wifi there so I can at least bump around on here.  All this week I've been extra careful about what I'm eating, and trying to eat more protien and less carbs.  Plus, the weekend right before I took my 1 hour we were tailgating, and I did have 2 or 3 chocolate chip cookies, 2 O'Douls and a bunch of chips and pretzels so I'm hoping that tomorrow with a few days of a cleaner diet I might just squeak by.  ::fingers crossed::

Thanks to all you wonderful GD ladies for your words of encouragement and great ideas thus far.  I should know by Monday if I'll be joining your "club." Have a great weekend everyone, and if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!

Good luck tomorrow!  As an FYI, you may not necessarily need to cut back on carbs, just eat the right ones.  For me, I needed to add more carbs into my diet.

OK, so I had the test today and it sucked big monkey balls!  the lazy lab techs left me sitting for an hour after my appointment time before they even took my fasting blood levels.  So, instead of this being a 3 hour test, it was a 4 hour test.  I was really ticked, and starving by the time I left there. 

 My confession is that right after the test I headed straight for Jake's hamburgers and had a burger and fries.  I know it's not the healthiest, but I wanted a treat after that awful morning.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, ladies.  You all are the best!
