About an hour after I uploaded the last post, my doctor sent me a message that I do not have gestational diabetes, yay! My baseline, first, third and forth blood tests showed way below the minimum level, the second test showed closer but still below, so I definitely don’t have diabetes. The 1 hour tests doesn’t seem too accurate (hence why they make you do the 3 hour one sometimes), it’s can kinda just be bad luck. I didn’t have to do anything special before the 1 hour test, I called the morning of to double check and they just said to not eat an hour before my appointment. But, I read somewhere on google that if you would eat for example cereal in the morning before your test it can interfere. I don’t eat cereal very often but for some reason I did the day of my test, so who knows if that did something.
Well, it is definitely great news. It would suck to have to check your blood sugar 4 times a day. But plenty of women get this diagnose and unless you’re really at a high risk to maybe even have diabetes after pregnancy, you’ll be fine, just have to watch what you eat more.
Yesterday we didn’t do anything special. I have like four thousand things on my to-do list before our trip so I spent most of the day at my desk. We went for a longer walk in the afternoon and we watched a tv-show at night, but that’s it.
This morning we drove to Cove Island here in Stamford around 8am. Nobody there really that early on a cold Sunday morning which was nice. Thor tried to eat all the sand again which we tried to train him out of. We are going down south in a week and he can not eat all the sand there, that would not end well. Not sure why he does it either, he’s weird. But we had a nice walk, very refreshing. The good thing about wearing a mask is that it covers your face when the wind gets really cold:)
I have to clean the apartment today, also gonna cook us a vegetarian Mexican lunch and then try to check off a few more things from the to-dos. We’ll see if I have time for anything else. Jim is off work tomorrow (MLK day) so I have plenty of time to ask him to do stuff for me hahah (mostly just to carry stuff around since I try to not lift things these days or to grab things up high in cabinets).
Have a wonderful weekend!
Very nice in the sun but the wind was freezing
Thor ordered us coffees on the way home 😀
