Oh Sugar!

This morning I was in the middle of seeing a pt when I started to feel really hot and dizzy. I called my doctor who wanted to see me right away to do bloodwork. Adam was at home studying for his CFP exam (it was at noon and then he goes all day sat. for the second part of the exam so pray for him) and I didn't want to worry him. So I drove myself to the doctor and waited for 2hrs to get seen. It turned out I had unusually low blood sugar. I had breakfast, but my sugar was showing that I was below fasting levels. Which probably means I won't have gestation diabetes- yay! My iron levels were great and my blood pressure was low (as usual.) I have gained a total of 14lbs. Sarah Ella's heart rate was perfect- 144bpm and she was kicking sooo hard while I was waiting. It was very comforting to know she was okay when I wasn't feeling so well. Now that I know that my sugar levels can get so low I just have to make sure I eat meals more frequentlyand include more protein. Which is so easy to do! I got home around noon, ate and then slept for 4hrs! I was so wiped out from the morning!
After Adam got home from his exam we had a date night. We went to a mexican restaurant and then to the movies. We saw the new James Bond movie and it was ok. It was a lot of fun to hang out with Adam and it helped him unwind from his day. He goes back tomorrow for the second part of the exam. I plan to pack for our trip and clean the house.
