Good News

My blood glucose test thing came back normal! According to the range, I am at the top of the lower 30% (if my mental math is anywhere close to being correct... and if that makes sense and is possible??). Anyway, no gestational diabetes for me, Yay!!! Praise God!! My anemia test (as far as I can tell) came back a little low, but they said they would call me if my numbers didn't look good, and I didn't get a call, so I think I'm on the low side but ok. I've been taking an iron supplement off and on, not every day, but maybe 3 days a week. Maybe I'll try to take it every day? The main problem is that I typically take my iron at lunch, and I also typically eat a pretty calcium-heavy lunch... and if you consume calcium and iron at the same time, it inhibits the absorption of iron, which defeats the purpose of me taking an iron supplement!!

So I'll have to celebrate! Maybe I'll go to Olive Garden and get a few desserts... just kiddding! I'll celebrate by continuing to eat healthy and being conscious about my protein intake :-D And, let's be realistic, I'll still have the occasional treat, of course ;-)

I'll end with a bonus picture:



please note our fancy bathroom curtain... it's a towel

I think this one is a pretty accurate representation of what I look like now. Getting bigger every day! Grow, Baby, grow!! :-D
