I had my first checkup for GD on Tuesday. The bean is doing fine - he is 55th percentile for weight at 3 lbs. They were happy with my sugars and said I could wait to come back for 3 weeks instead of two, and that I can check the sugars less often. I was really happy for about 1 hour until I checked my sugar after lunch and it was suddenly super high!! Then I got another couple of high readings yesterday. Of course after everything was looking so good. But today they seem to be back to normal. I was really stressed out at work and had final exams for my master's program this week, so I'm hoping it was just the stress and will go back to normal now.

DH and I are going on a babymoon this weekend! Of course, part of the package is unlimited ice cream which now I really cannot eat.

Stress can totally screw with your numbers! Is there sugar free ice cream? You could try a little and see what that does. Most sugar free are made with splenda so it's safe. Yay for less sugar testing and great numbers!

Awww, sorry about the ice cream. GD sucks! I have it too (I learned how to check my sugars yesterday) and it's going to be so difficult not to eat anything sweet during the holidays.

Sorry to hear that Caroline. I found out right before Thanksgiving. No pumpkin pie for me! I was thinking maybe I could ease up and try a little bit of sweet stuff since my sugars were so good, but the last few days the trend of higher sugars has continued, so I guess i have to get more strict again. It's totally bad timing with the holidays. I had one bite of cake today at a holiday party at work and it threw my fingerstick off. I hope yours turn out better than mine!!

At least we can eat fatty stuff...I've been eating eggs (sometimes with bacon) for breakfast almost every day!
