Everything Happens For a Reason

Bad news.....but not horrible news. I just barely failed my glucose test. You have to pass 3 out of 4 sections. Here's what the numbers are supposed to be and what mine actually were:

First blood drawn:
Needs to be below 95/mine was 75
Second blood drawn:
Needs to be below 180/mine was 188 (The nurse said I was at my sickest during this time)
Third blood drawn:
Needs to be below 155/mine was 135
Fourth blood drawn:
Needs to be below 140/mine was 143 (Most doctors want you below 145...but my Dr. isn't most doctors)

I do have to go to a dietitian on Friday and get my sugar monitor. The nurse said I have nothing to worry about, because I just barely failed. I'm actually not bummed out about it. She said I shouldn't lose more than 10 pounds on this special diet and that I can still workout. The upside is that we are going to get a lot more sonograms now! After getting my results, I'm actually in good spirits!

Our 4D sonogram got moved to tomorrow, so be looking for pics tomorrow night. I hope Madden puts on a good show for us!
