What?!? No More Dessert!?!?

Today I found out that I failed the 1 hour glucose test! What in the world! I have tried so hard to eat right and continue exercising. How could this happen to me? Well, my doctor said, its not discriminating, it just happens to some people! I have had crazy cravings for desert and have allowed myself to indulge a little most days, but that now has to come to a screeching halt! I am scheduled to take the 3 hour test on Monday (6/30). This is a much more extensive version of the 1 hour test. The one hour test was bad enough. I can't imagine how I will feel after the three our version. The hardest part is fasting after midnight the night before! How do they expect a pregnant woman to fast. I wake starving! Oh well....we will just cross our fingers and hope that it was just a fluke that I failed the 1st test and I will pass this next one with flying colors! Or, the upside is, if I do have gestational diabetes then my diet will have to be so strict that I'm sure I won't gain any unecessary weight during this pregnancy and I will have an easier time shedding the post baby lbs! Either way...if this is the worst that happens, then I am very fortunate!
