November Appointments

I had two appointments in November on the 9th and the 30th. My first appointment was another glucose test (diabetes runs in my family, so I had two done). The first test came back negative, but I still had to take the second test just in case!

The most memorable part of these appointments was that I gained 8lbs at both appointments! I had barely gained weight the entire pregnancy and in one month, it shot up 16lbs! Really, body?? I don't think that was all baby! But the midwife was excited to see that I was gaining weight finally and when I told her how scary it was to gain weight so quickly, she wondered if I had ever had an eating disorder. Well, no, I didn't. I can see where she might ask that, but honestly--I love food, I love digesting food, but I also like to be healthy and maintain a happy weight. When you start hitting numbers far beyond what you ever weighed, you start mentally getting panicky--even if you have a good excuse like pregnancy!

I passed my second glucose test and YAY for not having gestational diabetes! I could eat Christmas cookies and and all of that good stuff at Thanksgiving and Christmas still! Hurrah!
