Fat and Normal

So there has been many crazy changes happening with me lately, no I didn’t get married again or anything like that but I am only 10 weeks away from changing my life forever.

In preparation for my upcoming motherhood, I decided I should make some real in the flesh friends who are like me.  So I went out on the internet to discover what was out there and where I could meet people, something that has always been a point of contention with me I have a hard time making long term friends.  I don’t think I’m really that good at it although I would love to be and I strive every day to be a better friend. I digress.  So in my exhaustive search of the web I find my local Le Leche League meeting.  So on Monday at 7 I mustard all the courage I had and headed over to the meeting leaders house, fighting off a mild panic attach the whole time.  I mean really I was walking into a complete strangers house to a meeting for breastfeeding moms and I’m not even a mom yet.  But I arrived and walked in, to my utter delight everyone was fantastic!  There was six wonderful women their, including myself, and although I was the only pregnant woman their everyone was really great and it was almost like having a in life Mothering.com discussion.

Speaking about preparation  at my last midwife appointment I took my one hour gestational diabetes screening, well yesterday I got a call from the office.  I failed, they want your blood sugar at the end of an hour to be 138 or less and I was at 177.  Now this doesn’t mean I have GD, it does mean that I have to take a 3 hour test.  I’m quite bummed out about this but it’s not the end of the world.

On a plus note I have found my Halloween costume, I’m going to be a Pumpkin Smuggler!  I will get lots of pictures I have a party to go to on the 18th and on the 24th.
