Okay, so I never went to my second glucose testing because my midwife gave me the option of testing my glucose levels myself for a week. I went to Tacoma to pick up and learn how to test with the glucometer. It took me about 5 minutes to gain enough courage to push the eject button to prick my poor little finger. Once again, I don't like needles whether they be teeny skinny little things or huge. These happen to be sooooooo tiny and skinny. I was so shocked that it actually didn't hurt! It's just so nerve wrecking knowing you're about to make yourself bleed by poking yourself with a needle. For the first couple days of testing my numbers were way too high which had me pretty bummed. Without any change in my diet they started going down into the "normal" range so things are looking really good! I don't know what the "glitch" was but things are looking good now. I still have a couple days of testing and I'll call the specialist on Thursday to report my numbers. Hopefully no more needles for me.

Good to hear! I'm glad that your levels are back where they need to be. Thanks for the update.
Oh, that's great! Keep me posted after you talk to the specialist. I had to chuckle a little bit thinking about how it took you 5 minutes with the lancet. HEE hee...so cute. Gabriel pokes himself for fun, Josiah is too chicken and we poke Isaiah for fun. Just kidding! LOL But the boys do think that playing with the lancet is pretty cool...it's like a weapon that makes you bleed but doesn't really hurt. Perfect boy toy! Ha ha...Keep us posted!
I am glad to hear that you had a second option. I hope the numbers will continute to stay down. Keep us posted.
