Passed 5
Wooo! I passed the more in-depth 3 hour gestational diabetes test!!  What a huge relief!! I celebrated with 1.5 lemon bars for dessert at lunch today 😉 The test tastes like a suuuuuper sweet orange crush, so the actual drinking of it wasn’t too bad.  What sucked was that I couldn’t have […]
