Sugar high

Well I'm a little bummed.  I failed my one hour glucose test yesterday.  I was actually rather surprised by this.  My number wasn't extremely high, but anything over a certain point is suspect and the test is basically pass/fail.  There is no room for "it's not that bad."


So I get to go back tomorrow and do the lovely 3 hour test and hope that I pass that one.  To be on the safe side, I'm doing a sugar detox today.  Yeah maybe that's cheating the day before my final exam, but I don't care.  I'll do whatever I can to ensure I can still enjoy some of my favorite fall goodies before the baby comes!  I'm sort of joking though - if it turns out I need to do a special diet, I'll do what I have to.  I'm just going to hope it doesn't come to that for now!

Dress - Motherhood, thrifted
Sweater - "A" brand, Herbergers
Shoes - DSW
Necklace - S&D 


In other news, I'm loving this dress I bought on thrift store day.  I wasn't going to buy anymore summer clothes, but this dress, while it is like a sundress, I figured could easily be worn into winter with leggings and tights or boots.  So I was sold.  I also bought a very cute warmer sweater that day that matches it quite well.  It's not quite cold enough for that sweater today though, so I chose a lightweight sweater instead.  It's also raining today.  It's a good thing though, we kind of need it.  And it's almost a warm rain.  Kind of weird.

Anyway, that's my story for today.  I'm bringing my laptop to pass the time tomorrow as long as I can get onto the clinic's wi-fi, so at least I can keep up with all your blogs!  Wish me luck!

  1. Oh no, Beth! Sorry to hear you failed the test and have to do it all over again today. :( Fingers crossed that this time you pass! That dress is really cute with the stripes and I can definitely see how you can transition it for the cold weather.

  4. Well that's a bummer about the glucose test. That stuff you have to drink is so awful and now you have to do it again. Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow!

    This is such a super cute dress! I definitely think it could be worn going into fall and winter with tights and/or leggings and boots.

  11. Super cute dress! I thought it was a skirt and shirt at first, but I still love it, either way! Good luck tomorrow - eat lots of veggies that morning? (except carrots or sweet potatoes... hmm.... and maybe some others. Ya, I really shouldn't give diet advice!)
