Are You Kidding Me?

I had a bunch of lab work done last week.

Surprise!  I have low iron.  It's not really a surprise.  I always have low iron and go anemic on them when I'm pregnant.  It was expected, really.

Surprise!  I have high blood sugar.  Now they're going to do tests for gestational diabetes.  Are you freakin' kidding me?  I can't gain weight.  Sugar makes me sick.  I supposedly have a small baby.

I'm so frustrated.  Nothing has been easy-breezy this time.  I know I haven't had major complications, and that's a good thing, and I am blessed.  But this is getting really old, and I keep wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Did you know that stress itself can contribute to high blood sugar?  Imagine that.

The sorry thing is that I've spent the last 2 weeks really and truly trying to reduce my stress levels.

Apparently, it isn't working.
