Week 26 (Part 2): Getting Ready for my GD Test

Eeeks..I don't know why, but I've been dreading this test. This glucose tests whether or not you have gestational diabetes (GD) which happens to about ~20% of preggo women. The medical staff gave me super brief directions a month ago at my last OB appointment:

1) Avoid carbs and sugar the night prior to the test and and morning of
2) Drink super sugary glucose drink (provided) one hour before the test
3) Eggs and water are a-okay right before the test

Diabetes run in my family so I'm a bit nervous..and since I've been craving sugary things lately..
Instead of attempting to avoid eating what I'm not suppose to eat, I draw and drool about them..
The hardest thing (for me) to resist during pregnancy

Stay tuned for the results! Hoping everything goes smoothly so I don't need to go on a strict diet..!!!
