Well, the doc called yesterday morning. And I unfortunately have Gestational Diabetes. It was a little hard for me to take, not to sound dramatic or anything. I have to say that I feel very blessed in my pregnancy to have not had a whole lot of issues. However, this seems to be a pretty big deal and just another thing to add to the worry/stress level you feel as a pregnant woman who is exhausted anyway and stressed about this new change to come. I had my little cry on my loving and supportive Ryan's shoulder and he did just what I needed, just let me cry- didn't say anything, just rubbed my back. I know it's going to be okay, and I know we'll make it through it- it was just good to cry. I had time to think about it, and read about it. And we've decided that this is a good thing, not bad- and it will be difficult at times and will suck, but that overall it's probably something I should be watching anyway. My mom is diabetic and so I've already got that against me. Plus I'm overweight and especially after the bambino is born- I'm going to do my best to watch what I eat and keep my weight down. I have a goal and I REALLY want to stick to it. I have so much more than just myself to worry about now.
The nurse called me today and is going to schedule a time for me to take this Gestational Diabetes class that I'm supposed to take- but she has to schedule it for me first. I'm quite annoyed too because the classes are only offered during the week and most likely from like 8:30-12:30. So... that means I have to miss work! And she wasn't sure how many I'd have to take (I know, she was SOOO helpful...) and so I'm still sort of in the dark about it all.
I have my 32 week appointment on Thurs, and because Ryan can't come with me- my old roommate and friend Jiznin is going to come with me! I'm having an ultra sound so she'll get to see him. She's leaving for her mission to Mongolia in February and will miss actually seeing him in person until she gets back. Boooo :(! But hopefully this will suffice until then!
Side note- I've been drinking Cherry flavored Mylanta lately, and it's SO much better than Tums. Especially for the kind of crazy heart burn I've been having lately. I don't even measure! Ha!
Well, we're off to see the Bishop to see about getting prepared to be sealed to each other!
