I’m kind of stunned… this is quite an incredible “Day In the Life” post. Just not a good day. Thanks for sharing it and I hope having such a supportive place to share helps your spirits.

It stinks, there’s no doubt about it, but it is much much better to find out than not. I know, you already know that. Still.

I’m sorry to hear about the GD, but it’s not all that uncommon and most women do just fine with it, especially after they get it under control. I definitely sympathize with not being able to have the sweets…I craved them quite a bit during all of my pregnancies. Wishing you lots of comfort in the upcoming weeks…just keep thinking about how great you will feel after you deliver that baby! I felt about 100 pounds lighter the moment after I delivered Isobel!!

Chocolate cake? Ick. Who wants it?

(did you fall for that?)

Good luck these next six weeks! Keep chanting “means to the end” over and over and maybe that will help!

At least you know what was causing the tiredness. Do you have to go on insulin?

And you’re right you can get back to the sugary things as soon as the baby is born although it’s possible you will have lost the taste for them!
