Many of you may recognize this drink and cringe!! One of the joys of pregnancy is getting tested for gestational diabetes. This entails drinking a very sugary solution within 5 minutes and then getting your blood drawn an hour later. Although I was dreading the "drink", it wasn't too bad. It was really sugary and tasted like flat orange pop. It did give me a headache for the entire day; almost like when you were little and ate too much candy and didn't feel well afterwards.
I am thankful and happy to say that I passed!! I was fearful that I would fail (isn't every pregnant women?) and have to poke my finger for blood sugars and give myself insulin shots. I guess I would have the best help in town with my husband! He has had Type 1 diabetes since he was three. Lord knows we don't need two of us though! Needless to say, Aaron was thrilled that I passed.
