Yesterday was a rough and surprising day that caught me off guard. I found out that I have gestational diabetes. Just a few days ago I found out that I was anemic, so it seemed weird that I would have gestational diabetes too. I was so bummed all morning and did not want to talk about it at work. I had hoped to see the specialist soon, but won't be able to until the middle of next week.
It seems like I just started eating normal food again. Up until about week 20 sweets seemed too rich, and my favorite drink Coca Cola tasted like metal. So the past few weeks seemed good for me and I felt like I was getting my energy back. I have basically been eating pasta, potatoes, chocolate, sweets, ice cream, and breakfast tacos. Now I have to let go of that! Grrrrr!
I am praying that I will just be put on a strict diet and not have to have insulin shots or test my blood every 4 hours. I would have to go ask a co-worker or neighbor to do that for me, because I have zero pain tolerance! More seriously, I hope that I am able to find balance over the next 9 weeks and give David what he needs. Since I feel GOOD and don't have any signs of being sick, this doesn't seem real....like morning sickness did. This is going to be a big adjustment for me once the reality sets in.
