No gestational diabetes

I just learned that I do not have gestational diabetes. Yahoo! I was at high risk for the disease because of significant family history, my age and my weight before pregnancy. My midwives actually made me test for it twice, doing an early screen three months ago because of my risk factors and the regular screen again this week. The results of both tests were great. I'm fine. No diabetes. Bring on the Ben and Jerry's! Ha ha...I'm actually celebrating with a Pink Lady apple. I think the baby will appreciate that more than Phish Food.

I'll also celebrate tonight with a fun date. Andy and I are going out for a fancy dinner (won't be able to do that again soon) and to see Vigil, which is supposed to be an excellent new play with Olympia Dukakis. A "Good Friday," indeed!
