GD and Anemia .., anything else??

GRR

So I had my glucose test today which was pure torture! I failed, no surprise there, they are going to let me skip the three hour and go straight to diet and test strips.

I also had my iron checked at this appt. and SURE ENOUGH it is low. GRR.

Anything else they want to write in on my chart they are going to have to get a new piece of paper ...

Other than all of that, Baby is FANTABULOUS!! Growing as he should ( I am steady measuring ahead) but I would so prefer a fat preemie than a tiny one

Now I am just waiting for my home health nurse to show up and STICK me like I haven't been stuck enough today, then to pick up the kids and take a much needed nap because I feel HORRIBLE after the glucose nonsense!

Hang in there... just a little longer now and that sweet baby boy will be home with you!

It's so worth it in the end.

I'm w/ya girl friend. I have to test in an hour. My morning levels have SUCKED. I'm trying not to have to go on the pill to help.

My dietitian said lots of fiber (she suggested Benefiber, which I like) and Cinnamon! It hasn't totally made my level in the morning go down. But I swear its controlling the rest of the day. She said two cinnamon pills a day (1 in the morning and 1 at night) or 1/4 teaspoon.
