I'm just going to go ahead and get it off my chest. I've had to unclog three toilet's over the last 6 months. That's about 3 more toilets than I would prefer to unclog and as a matter of fact have ever unclogged. Rather than go into much detail about that aspect of pregnancy I will just mention that fiber is a girl's best friend.
One thing that is not a girl's best friend (at least at this very moment) is sweets. My favorite line from the movie Elf, "We elves like to stick to the main food groups: candy, candy cane, candy corn, and syrup!" can no longer be my mantra. I had my glucose screening yesterday which checks for the possibility of gestational diabetes. During the hour long test I prayed that my chocolate intake over the last few months had not hurt my chances of actually passing. I think God didn't hear my prayers because I have to go back for the glucose tolerance test which takes a grand total of 3 hours and consists of having blood drawn 4 different times. I'm not dreading it nearly as much as giving birth but I'm definitely dreading it.
There's also the other side of me that takes a little offense to being told I may or may not be diabetic. Way to kick the pregnant lady when she's down and feeling overweight.
