Okay so I pretty much knew that life was going pretty smoothly when, "boom," a little bump in the road. After my 3 hour glucose tolerance test they called me 2 days later and told me that I in fact had gestational diabetes! Oh joy! In the whole grand scheme of things, it really isn't bad. The baby is safe and I am borderline so I don't have to be on insulin at this point. I am going to meet with a nurse and a dietitian on Monday the 20th and I should have some clear answers on how to deal with this. I am concerned because the Mandy is already fairly big for her age....but I am sure it will be controlled and she won't grow too excessively.
On a good note, Mark's last day is tomorrow and he will be starting his new job on the 20th. We are all really excited to be getting back into a normal schedule (8-5) instead of night shifts, day shifts etc... Life will start to get a little calmer at least until Mandy arrives!
