Add another thing to the list

On top of everything else going on, today I got a call from my midwife that I have gestational diabetes.

 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001898/

It is one of the most common pregnancy problems/complications, and it is easily managed.  My midwife said it looks like I have a fairly mild case that should be able to be managed by watching my diet carefully.  But I'm still frustrated that I have so much to worry about with this pregnancy. 

I will be meeting with another doctor and a nutritionist in the next week.  In the meantime, it looks like my Girl Scout cookies will be finding a home in the freezer for the next few months...
