Apologies

I know, I know, it's been an entire week without a new craft post! I have a few posts in the works, but it's been a rough week, and most of my projects are sitting here only partially finished. I've been feeling nauseous again and completely exhausted (even more so than my usual third trimester energy drain), and a visit to the OB today to discuss my latest round of bloodwork shed some light on the situation.

I failed my 1-hour glucose tolerance test, and judging by how impressively badly I failed the test, she said that she'd be incredibly surprised if I pass the 3-hour test that I'm taking next Monday. So, it looks like gestational diabetes may be the cause of my queasy stomach lately. Along with that great news, she also told me that I am still severely anemic despite the fact that I've been taking iron supplements for several months now. She upped my iron dosage (which ought to feel wonderful on my unsettled stomach), so hopefully once I get that into my system it will help erradicate some of this extra fatigue I've been fighting.

So, that said, I've been laying a little low this week and probably will continue to do so for a bit longer...apologies if posts are fewer and further between for just a little while! :)
