Reason 32

Ugh!

So, nausea has taken the best of me and I feel like crap most of the time. I will say again, thank goodness it's not as bad as it was when I was having G. I'll take this pregnancies morning sickness over my previous one any day.

It just plain sucks.

Scents that make me want to puke:
Fried foods
Too much cologne/perfume
Toothpaste
Coffee
Sunscreen

Foods that I can grub on without getting nauseous:
Crab
Sinigang
Kare Kare
Pineapple
Strawberries
Blueberries
Kiwi
Peaches
Lettuce
Pickles
Cherry tomatoes

Bleh. Can't wait till my first trimester is over.

Gestational Diabetes

Last friday I had to take a glucose test because diabetes runs in my family. I got a call this monday that my results were high :( I needed to come back the following tuesday to do the 3-hour glucose testing.

This time I needed to fast for 10-12 hours, they would draw my blood, drink another concoction with a higher dosage of glucose, and then every hour after that for 3 hours, they would draw more blood. It was horrible. How dare they starve a pregnant woman! I came into the laboratory first thing in the morning and I was already feeling sick. The drink made it worse. I wanted to collapse because I was so nauseous and dizzy.

BUT I got the great news a few minutes ago that I do not have gestational diabetes! Yay! *has happy feet* To be on the safe side, I do have to watch what I eat and meet up with a registered dietician every monday so my sugar levels will remain normal. Thank goodness everything is well though!

8 weeks!

There's my little peanut! So tiny, but there! My due date is January 29, 2008.

Yay!

And the official news is....

I'm pregnant!!!

Yay! I'm not sure how far along I am since I haven't had my first appointment yet. I'm just hoping for the best and that I'll make it past the first trimester :)

3 "pee on a sticks" later

I shouldn't be telling people because I could quite possibly just set myself up for disappointment but I couldn't help myself.

3 positive pregnancy tests! Three!

I'm trying not to get too excited though, I keep asking myself "What are the chances of a false positive?", but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that this is true. I won't know the "official" results until tomorrow afternoon. Please send some good thoughts this way!
