Gestational Diabetes

So I just got my results back from my second test... and I failed. So now it's diet time for me. Next week I meet with the dietician to get it under control. I'm over the crying from Monday, and now I'm just going to make sure I'm good, although it's hard to break habits. I went out to eat at Wendy's for lunch and ordered a frosty and ate it all, and then realized a couple hours later that I shouldn't have done that. So now I've got to be good and remind myself.
My 4 blood tests- the first number is what I got and the second is the number I'm supposed to be under
1. 86-94 (ok)
2. 195-175
3. 200-154
4. 184-139

So now it's time to get to work and eat healthier :) Wish me luck!

Update

Life has been crazy, full of many ups and downs. I thought I would give an update since I haven't written in a while.
Monday was our 1 year anniversary!!! WOOHOO!!! I love Brenton so much and can't believe the last year flew by so fast. It was wonderful, and I look forward to an eternity with my best friend! Saturday we drove up to Park City. On the way we stopped in Heber City to bowl. I did so well!! it did take its toll, and I was exhausted afterwards. We then drove to Park City and drove around and ate ice cream. Then, we went to an outdoor mall and saw IRON MAN. It was pretty good, although I'm not much for all the torture/war violence. Two friends from our old ward showed up too (what a coincidence!) so that was fun. We then went and checked into the resort. My aunt and uncle have a time share so we got in for cheap! It was a way nice resort!!! We checked out the place, then got dressed up fancy for dinner at the resort restaurant. It was soooo nice!!! Never been to a place like that! We checked out the pool and sauna too. It was sooo relaxing! Thanks to Aunt Leslie and Uncle Andy for the resort room!
We came home Sunday and tried to go to our new ward, but it was the wrong ward... Oh first, we moved!! We moved on April 30th into a ghetto two-bedroom apt close to BYU. It's all set up now, and looks a lot better than it did at first. It's pretty old, but we will be calling it home for a while. So we went to the ward and really liked it, but found out it was the wrong one. bummer! We will try again soon!
Monday morning was another Dr. Appt. My glucose test didn't turn out so well, so my dr. diagnosed me with Gestational Diabetes. I also have anemia. So, we are dealing With that right now. This morning I had to be at the lab at the hospital at 7 for the second glucose test. They drew my blood, then i had to drink the glucose drink. Then 3 times, three hours in a row, I had to get my blood taken. Since I couldn't have any food and only water for 12 hours, the glucose drink didn't make me feel very well. I was extremely nauseated and sick, so I got to lay on a couch in the waiting room with a blanket and pillow. Brenton took off work this morning so he could keep me company. I appreciated it! He's so good to me. We played phase ten and sat bored at the hospital until 10:30. I thought I would make it back to work, but it didn't happen. I was exhausted and hungry and spent today resting!!!! But things will get better.
Anyhow, I'm not posting any pics yet, but I will soon.
This weekend I go to AZ for my baby shower. I am so excited to see family and friends!!!
That's it for now :) I'll post more later!
